Contts, James. On the Post-tertiary Clay-beds at Kilchattan Bay, 

 Isle of Bute. Proc. Glasg. Nat. Hist. Soc. vol. ii. pt. 1. 



Describes the section in Kilchattan Clay-field, and gives a list of 

 marine shells, Polyzoa, Crustacea, &c. in a shell-bed included in the 

 section. J. E. T. 



Craig, T. On supposed Lake or River Terraces near Kelso. Proc. 

 Berwick. Nat. Club, vol. vii. no. 2, pp. 190-192. 



Describes remains in the valley of the Tweed. In a distance of 

 about half a mile there are 14 or 15 at different heights. They often 

 lie transversely to the general direction of the valley, running upwards 

 for 70 or 80 feet. Although apparently connecting them with '•' the 

 ancient river or lake," the author does not offer any theory to account 

 for these " terraces." W. T. 



Cross, Rev. J. E. The Geology of North-west Lincolnshire. QuarU 

 Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xxxi. pp. 115-130, plate (fossils) and 

 3 woodcuts. Appendix, describing the fossils, by R. Etheridge. 



The rocks described range from the Keuper to the Cornbrash ; the 

 Rhsetics are believed to be absent. The Lower Lias is largely developed. 

 The ironstone of Scunthorpe is shown to lie low down in the Lower 

 Lias ; this band is 27 feet thick, and contains about 27 p. c. of iron. 

 The true Middle Lias is only 8 feet thick, abounding in RliynchonelJa 

 tetrahedra ; the Amm. rnargaritatus beds seem to be absent. The 

 Lincolnshire Limestone averages about 36 feet ; below it are the 

 " Santon Oolites," differing from it but little in appearance, but con- 

 taining a distinct fauna. Lists of fossils are given, and the following 

 new species are described : — Tancredia ferrea, T. Liassica, Hippopodium, 

 ferri, all from the Lower Lias; CucuUcea Polandi, C. SantoiiensiSj 

 Astarie divaricata, from the Inferior Oolite. W. T. 



Crosskey, Rev. H. W. Second Report of the Committee appointed 

 for the purpose of recording the position, height above the sea, 

 lithological characters, size, and origin of the more important of 

 the Erratic Blocks of England and Wales, reporting other matters 

 of interest connected with the same, and taking measures for their 

 preservation. Rep. Brit. Assoc, for 1874, pp. 192-200. 

 Details the methods of work. Boulders are rapidly disappearing as 

 road- or building-material or for purposes of cultivation ; the Report 

 points out the importance of recording those which remain, and dwells 

 upon the light which such knowledge may throw upon glacial pheno- 

 mena. Returns are given from the following districts : — Rothbury, 

 Northumberland ; near Keighley, Yorkshire ; Scambrick, Lancashire ; 

 the country around Birmingham ; various parts of Leicestershire and 

 Warwickshire ; Teignmouth, Devon ; Llanrwst, Denbigh. W. T.
