Bennie, James. Note on the Bange of Saccamina Carteri, Brady, in 

 the Carboniferous Series. Geol. Mag. dec. ii. vol. iii. p. 47. 



Befers to a paper by Mr. Lebour (see Geologica.l BECORDfor 1875, 

 p. 28), and states that Saccamina Carteri occurs in several places in Mid- 

 lothian, in the Calciferous Sandstone Series in Haddingtonshire, and in 

 the lowest Carboniferous beds in Lanarkshire. In 1865 Mr. Salter 

 recorded this fossil as a roraminifer from Dunbar. W. T.

Bemarks on the close resemblance between the beds of coarse volcanic 

 agglomerate and ash of the Charnwood series to the Green Slate and 

 Porphyry series (or Borrowdale Bocks) of the Lake District, and refers 

 their probable age to the period of volcanic activity that produced the 

 Lake District and Cader Idris rocks, and not to the L. Cambrian, in 

 which there is no evidence of volcanic energy. C^E. D.
