In 1794 Jameson went to Shetland to acquire a know- 
ledge of the Natural History of the Shetland Islands, where 
he remained three months, zealously occupied in exploring 
their geology, mineralogy, zoology, and botany. In 1797 
the young and ardent student paid his first visit to the 
famous island of Arran, at that time unknown to geologists ; 
and in the following year he published his separate work, 
entitled ‘‘ Mineralogy of the Island of Arran and the Shet- 
land Islands, with Dissertations on Peat and Kelp;” and 
being the first good geological account of places and forma-

phenomena described in it. ‘“‘ Jameson’s Mineralogy of Arran
