Abstract
The heights bordering the counties of Peebles and Dumfries contain the well-preserved remains of a group of Glaciers, to one of which Mr. Chambers published, in 1855, a brief allusion. In the autumn of 1862 Mr. Geikie and myself found moraines in several of the valleys of this district, and the description of them given by my colleague in his paper on “The Phenomena of the Glacial Drift in Scotland” is the first published account of Glaciers occurring south of the Clyde. Last summer the investigation of this district by the Geological Survey began: I had the advantage for a short time of Mr, Geikie's advice and assistance, and am further indebted to him for the Sketch in Talla Valley (fig. 3), as well as for much of the details regarding Loch Skene and Mid Law Den, of which he prepared, in 1862, the Map accompanying this paper (fig. 2).
