196 PEOCEEDINGS OP THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETT. [Jail. 11, 



&c., who has inspected my collection, and determined tho species. 

 The geographical distribution is also entirely on his anthoiity. 



I have inserted two species got at Elie by the Ilcv. Mr, Brown 

 which are not in my own collection ; for the others I am myself 

 responsible. The names adopted are those proposed by Mr. Jeffreys. 

 In regard to the British species I have appended as synonyms those 

 of Forbes and Hanley where they happen to be diiferent. 



Explanatory Note regarding the Localities on the East of Scotland, 

 referred to in the folio iving List. 



Annochie. On the Aberdeenshire coast, about five miles north of 

 the town of Peterhead. The shells are entire, with the epidermis 

 generally remaining; they arc, however, much decayed, and 

 are dispersed through a bed of fine clay, only a few feet above 

 the sea-level, and passing underneath the beach. Foraminifcra 

 occur in this clay. 



Auchleuehries. Twenty miles north of Aberdeen and seven miles 

 inland. The shells occur in broken fragments, at an elevation of 

 about 300 feet above the sea, in a thick mass of gravel forming 

 the crest of a low hill. The fragments are very scarce, and 

 occur deep in the gravel. 



Belhelvie. A clay-pit close on the sea, five miles north of Aberdeen, 

 and 30 or 40 feet above high -water-mark. The shells occur 

 generally in fragments in a blackish stratum in the midst of a 

 bed of laminated clay and sand. Dr. Fleming, who had visited 

 it often when the section was better exposed than it is now, 

 says this fine laminated clay " rests on the ordinary boulder- 

 clay, and is covered by the usual sands and gravels." 



Ednie. A bed of fine laminated clay on the north bank of the Ugie 

 River, and four miles from Peterhead, and at no great height 

 above the sea. The shells are scanty, and occur usually in 

 broken fragments in a thin seam in the midst of the claj'. 

 The large Saxicava, however, has been got here entire, 



Elie. On the coast of Pife,. eleven miles south of St. Andrews. The 

 shells are in a bad state of preservation, imbedded in clay which 

 passes underneath the sea. Explored by the Rev. T. Brown, 

 and the shells named by Dr. Otto Torell. 



Ellishill. The shells here occurred in red clay in a railway cutting 

 three miles west of Peterhead, at an elevation of about 120 feet 

 above the sea, and were sent me by Mr. A. Stephen Wilson. 

 Saxicava entire. 



Errol. A clay-pit on the north side of the River Tay, eight miles east 

 of Perth, and about 45 feet above the sea. The shells are entii'c, 

 but much decayed, Leda arctica and the two Modiolarice very 

 numerous, Entomostraca of the genus Cythere also occur. 



Gamrie. On the sea-coast seven miles east of Banff. The shells were 

 first noticed by Mr. Prestwieh, and occur in a thin seam of sand 

 at an elevation of about 150 feet ; many of them are entire. 

 The strata of fine sand and clay in which they occur are of 

 great thickness, and extend to a height of 300 feet or more.
