Invernettie. A brickwork on the Aberdeenshire coast one mile south 

 of Peterhead; shells mostly broken. See Quart. Journ. Geol. 

 Soc. vol. xiv. p. 517. 



King Edward. About five miles S.S.E. of Banif. The shells occur in 

 silt and gravel at an elevation of from 150 to 200 feet, many of 

 them entire, and some of them m situ ; but the nature of the 

 section is not well exposed. I have been much assisted in col- 

 lecting the fossils by Mr. J. Runciman, and by the Eev. T. 

 Milne. Formninifera occur here. The great similarity of the 

 fossils to those of Gamrie leads me to think that both sheU- 

 seams belong to the same period. 



Montrose. The shells are entire, but much decayed, and occur deep 

 down in a mass of fine laminated reddish-brown clay of im- 

 mense thickness (50 to 100 feet), and not many feet above 

 the sea-level, in the brickworks of Dryleys, and Puggiston, 

 about a mile west of the town of Montrose. The shells were 

 first noticed by Dr. Howden, physician to the Montrose Lunatic 

 Asylum, who has obtained a number of Starfishes from the 

 Dryleys section. The skeleton of a seal was got some years ago 

 at the Puggiston pit. Minute Entomostraca of the genus Cythere 

 have been detected by the Rev. H. Mitchell of Craig, and occur 

 both at Puggiston and at Dryleys. 



Tyrie. On the coast of Pife, near Kinghorn. The shells were de- 

 tected by that veteran naturalist Dr. Fleming. What he named 

 Pecten similis was doubtless the same as P. Groenlandicus, 

 which seems to be only a large northern variety of that shell. 

 (See Jeffreys's ' British Conchology,' vol. ii. p. 72.)
