Abstract
M r . M iller in this communication explained the history of our knowledge of the geology of this district ; and, having given in detail an examination that he made of the coast last autumn, he drew particular attention to the faithful and comprehensive descriptions of the Old Red district by Sedgwick and Murchison in former years, and showed that his own observations quite coincide with the results of Sir Roderick Murchison’s late correlation of the Gneissic, Cambrian, Silurian, and Old Red strata of the coasts of Sutherland, Ross-shire, and Caithness. In conclusion, Mr. Miller pointed out that the Durness Limestone and the fossiliferous beds of Caithness were still open fields for careful and energetic explorers.
