Extract of a Letter to the Editor from Professor Jameson. 
In my journey of this summer I revisited several points on the 
east coast of Scotland, re-examined the beds of porphyry and trap 
tuff in red sand-stone at Bervie, Crawtown, &c. discovered serpen- 
tine with imbedded diallage in the green-stone of the red sand-stone 
formation at Bervie, and found the Gabbro rock in situ at Portsoy, the 
andalusite near Macduff, the Hyperstene of Haiiy at Portsoy ; thegreat 
quartz formation which extends from Portsoy by Cullen nearly to 
Buchie, in which I observed beautiful illustrations of the chemical 
nature of the quartz breccias, and conglomerates of this and other 
parts of Scotland. Viewed the conglomerate rocks and red sand- 
stone of Inverness ; but only in a general way, as my intelligent friend 
Professor Buckland, of Oxford, had pre~*sed to examine them parti- 
cularly. Found the conglomerate ana red sand-stone extending 
nearly to the face of Fyers on the south side of Loch Ness, when 
they are succeeded by primitive rocks, which continue to Fort 
Augustus. The conglomerate rocks of Inverhavicket, and those 
near Fyers, are particularly interesting. The gneiss rocks at Fort 
Augustus abound in beds and veins of granite. A conglomerate 
rock appears again on the road from Fort Augustus to Letter Find-
