 Mosses,' Proc. Dorset Nat. Hist. Field Club, Vol. XVI., 

 p. 14. 1895.) 



The bottom layers of a peat-moss here contain trunks 

 and cones of Pinus sylvestris. 



Redhall, near Edinburgh. 



(Henderson, ' On some Sections of Boulder Clay, Peat, 

 and Stratified Beds exposed in a Quarry recently opened 

 at Redhall, Slateford, near Edinburgh.' Trans. Geol. Soc, 

 Edinburgh, Vol. II., p. 391. 1874 ; Geikie, ' Great Ice Age,' 

 3rd Edit., pp. 100, 101. 1894; Bennie and Scott, ' The 

 Ancient Lakes of Edinburgh,' Proc. R. Phys. Soc, Edin- 

 burgh, Vol. X., pp. 126-154. 1889.) 



The Deposit at Redhall, like that of Cowden Glen, 

 has been generally accepted as of Interglacial age. The 

 many weeds of cultivation, capsules of Flax, and pieces of 

 charcoal, that it contains can scarcely belong to any earlier 

 period than the Neolithic. The flora closely corresponds 

 with that of the upper bed at Hailes.

Flammula. Stellaria media. 



Lingua. uliginosa. 



repens. Spergula arvensis.
