 dredgings made further north (as notably in those of Professors 

 Thomson and Carpenter between Faroe and Shetland) most of

 with such as were previously familiar to us in the Scottish 

 glacial clays, none of the marine species here described as new 

 have yet been observed in the fossil state. Still it is possible 

 that a search in greater depths of water off the Irish coast 

 might lessen this apparent discrepancy.
