POST-TERTIARY ENTOMOSTRACA. 



A sample of the red Boulder Clay taken from a depth of fourteen feet consisted of 

 76 per cent, fine mud, 10 per cent, sand, 14 percent, gravel or small pebbles. 



A sample of the grey Boulder Clay taken from a depth of thirty feet consisted of 56 per 

 cent, fine mud, 9 per cent, sand, 35 per cent, small gravel. 



In the upper red Boulder Clay the West Highland rocks, entering into its composition, 

 constitute less than one third, while in the lower division of the grey Boulder Clay at the 

 depth of thirty feet they form more than half of the bulk. 



The bores made preparatory to the construction of the dock extended over a radius of 

 about 600 feet, and displayed many irregularities in the succession of the two distinctly 

 marked Boulder Clays. 



The following plan and journal of bores will illustrate the disturbed and varying 

 nature of the old Boulder Clay base of many shell-beds.
