The Glacial Fauna of King Edward, in Banffshire. 21 
The fauna, if not actually in situ, could not have come 
from any great distance, as so many of the species, especially 
the Naticas, abound from the fry to large and full-grown 
individuals. The Pleurotomas are equally plentiful. 
Whether the seventeen species quoted are all good 
may be doubtful; they are, however, sufficiently distinct, 
and are figured by such northern authorities as Sars and 
Friele, and may be permitted to stand. The calice of 
Lophohelia prolifera is the first recorded example of this coral 
in a fossil condition in Britain. 
The veteran historian of the older eastern Scottish clays, 
Mr T. F. Jamieson, was, I believe, the first to call attention 
to the deposit. I have to thank the Rev. Dr John Milne, 
of King Edward, for assistance in many ways. 
The deposit is well worth working, and would yield good 
results. The asterisk in the following list indicates that the 
shell has not been recorded as a Scottish fossil before— 
seventeen species out of fifty-seven being thus distinguished.
