area in relation to the Lewisian Gneiss, the Torridonian Sandstones 

 and Cambrian strata. The description is aided by a series of sections : 

 (1) from Laithach by Sgurr Dubh to the River Coulin (p. 20) ; (2) from 

 JBeinn Damh across Chinn Deirg to Coulags, Strath Carron (p. 23) ; 

 (8) from Strath a' Bhathaich by Glas Bheinn to Kirkton on Loch 

 Carron (p. 24) ; (4) diagrammatic sections, showing the relations of 

 the Moine Series to the Lewisian Gneiss south of Attadale, Loch 

 Carron. The areas west and east of the Moine thrust and the inliers 

 of Lewisian Gneiss and their petrography are described. Then 

 follows a detailed account of the Moine Series between (ilen Carron 

 and Glen Docherty; the Monar area, the valley of the Meig, Glen 

 Orrin, Glen Strath Farrar ; and Glen Cannich. The elucidation of 

 these very disturbed and complex districts is greatly assisted by 

 a small map (fig. 5, p. 59) of the Beinn Dronaig area and 

 a diagrammatic section (fig. 6, p. 70) across the northern region from 

 Kinlochewe to the Eiver Meig, showing the massive siliceous 

 granulites, the flaggy siliceous schists, j;he pelitic gneiss and lower 

 siliceous schists of the Moine Series, and the Applecross and Diabaig 

 Groups and Lewisian Gneiss of the Torridonian Series which are 

 affected by them. Fossils are hardly to be expected in such highly 

 altered, squeezed, and contorted strata, but Fucoid Beds are recognized 

 by Dr. Home and " Salterella (Serpulite) Grits are traceable through 

 parts of the Coulin and Achnashellach Forests, where they are 

 reduplicated in places by folding and reversed faults. Of special 

 importance is the occurrence in the Fucoid Beds of a band of pisolitic 

 ironstone, from 18 inches to 2 feet thick, in the Allt nan Dearcag, one 

 of the sources of the Coulin Biver, about 2 miles north from 

 Achnashellach station. There can be no doubt tliat it represents the 

 layer of pisolitic ironstone in the same subgroup on the northern 

 slopes of Meall a' Ghiubhais which yielded to Mr. Macconochie 

 remains of Trilobites and Echinoderms. The band at Allt nan Dearcag 

 contains Hyolithes, and under the microscope plates of Eocystites and 

 fragments of the tests of Trilobites have been observed" (p. 18). 



In the Bibliographical Appendix of works relating to the geology 

 of the district a paper has accidentally been omitted. It is : 1880, 

 Hicks, Henry, and Davies, T., " Pre-Cambrian Bocks of West and 

 Central Ross-shire," Geol. Mag., 1880, pp. 103, 155, 222, 266, and 329. 



Eight excellent collotype plates illustrate the most important 

 points in the scenery of Ross-shire and ten text-figures.

 rpHIS Memoir is an explanation of Sheet 316 of the Geological 

 Jl Maps on the scale of 1 inch to the mile, surveyed on the 6 in. 

 scale by Messrs. W. Whitaker, C. Reid, and C. E. Hawkins. The 

 district dealt with is situated for the most part in the south-east of 

 Hampshire, the remainder in South -Western Sussex. There are only 

 four small towns in the area, Fareham, Havant, and Emsworth in the 

 south and Bishop's Waltham in the north-west.
