BARCLAY MURDOCH Glasgow Published by the Local Committee for the Meeting of the British Association 1901 GLASGOW t PRINTED AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS BY ROBERT MACLEHOSE AND CC. PREFACE. "WHEN twenty-five years ago the British Association met in Glasgow a Natural History Handbook dealing with the Fauna, Flora, and Geology of the district was issued to the members. Owing to various circumstances — the chief of which were the paucity of workers and the short time available for the work — the lists were far from covering the whole ground, and by no means free from errors. It was felt by many Naturalists of the District that the present meeting of the British Association afforded an opportunity for repairing many of the errors and omissions of the former Handbook, and for bringing to a focus the very large amount of work which has been done of late years in the Clyde area. It is not to be supposed that the present volume professes either to be a complete record or to be free from errors. The size of the volume and the speed with which it had to be put through the press render it certain that many errors have escaped correction, and a cursory inspection of the contents will reveal that many groups are not treated of, while others have only been studied during the last three years, i.e. since the idea of this Handbook wTas first mooted. It is to be hoped that the blanks will be as valuable for the future work in the district as the comparatively complete lists, inasmuch as they will show local workers on what groups they may most profitably concentrate their attention. The Editors feel that this Handbook should not go out without an ex- pression of ^indebtedness to all concerned in its production. This number includes, in addition to the compilers, the great majority of the working Naturalists of the district and many eminent scientific men throughout the Kingdom, for each and all have freely placed the information in their possession at the service of those responsible for the various sections of the Handbook, and spared no pains to make the volume worthy of the meeting for which it has been prepared. While those who have worked for this volume directly and indirectly are too numerous to thank individually, special mention of services done is due in two cases. The first is the Secretary of the original Committee, the Rev. G. A. Frank Knight, M.A., F.R.S.E., to whose enthusiasm and power of organisation a great part of the success of the volume is due. The second is the printers of the volume, Messrs. MacLehose, whose courtesy, care, and promptitude in carrying through a very difficult piece of work under trying circumstances none but the Editors can fully appreciate. CONTENTS. PAGE BOTANY. By G.

By John Smith, 557 CORRECTION. — P. 150, lines 15-22, Dr. Bryce's report should read: — "All the skulls were dolicho-cephalic the highest index being 75 '2 the lowest 66 '6. They possesed characters closely resembling those of the skulls found in the long Barrows in England- -and two exactly realized the description of the Kumbecephalic skulls first described by Sir Daniel "Wilson. In other respects the skeletons shewed primitive characters especially in the case of the Tibiae which in the majority of instances were platycnemic, Thus in Neolithic times the inhabitants of the Clyde valley were of the same primitive race as that which built the long Barrows in England, and were character- ised by long heads and short stature. They had not begun to use bronze. They still buried their dead in chambered cairns and were already skilful in the manufac- ture of pottery." FAUNA, FLORA, AND GEOLOGY OF THE CLYDE AREA BOTANY. THE present Botanical handbook may be considered as a further develop- ment of that published for the British Association in 1876. Even at the earlier meetings in Glasgow, attempts were made by local botanists to give a special and satisfactory account of the Flora. For the present work an enormous amount of research has been required, and, as at previous meet- ings, the British Association may be considered as responsible for what is probably the most complete account of the Cryptogamic flora ever published for any particular district in Britain. The material is in fact so great that the introduction has been reduced to the very narrowest limits, and it is only possible to give a very brief account of the methods employed by the compilers, of past and present workers in the field, of the localities which may be recommended to botanical visitors, and of typical plant associations. Most systematic work in Britain has been upon the old Watsonian lines of counties and vice-counties ; we have^ however, followed the method recom- mended by Mr. C. B. Clarke in his classical paper published by the Eoyal Society (Phil. Transactions, Vol. 183 (1892), B, pp. 371-387). The district has been divided by the lines of latitude and longitude, and the 30' minute lines also of latitude and longitude. At first many of us had doubts upon the value of the system, but it has been found, as the writer suspected, particularly convenient in practice. The method has many advantages : thus it is exceedingly easy to map the distribution of a species, as it is only necessary to draw lines at right angles and enter the records ; it is not dependent on any theory as must be the case with a geological or river system, yet it is extremely easy to compare the rough map of any species' distribution with geological or physical maps ; there is also the immense advantage of economising space. One line of print will give an entire series of records in a manner easily followed by the reader. The lines are also as permanent and immutable as any lines upon the earth's surface can be, and lend themselves readily to sub-division or collation. From an oecological point of view, the Flora of the Clyde may be con- sidered as fairly representative of the whole of Scotland. It consists of four main divisions or formations, each with their special rock, loch, stream, and other plant associations, and there is also a very typical seaside flora. The summits of Ben Lomond, Ben Oss, and the Cobbler possess most of the distinctive Scotch Alpines, such as Oxyria, Gnaphalium supinum, the Gyrophoras, and such mosses as the Andreaeas. The lower slopes of these mountains and such places as Argyll's Bowling- Green, Tinto moors, and the hills about Dalmellington, are good examples of the Scotch Grousemoors. They differ from similar formations in the Alps and Pyrenees very considerably, at least so far as the writer's own observa- tions are concerned. 2 OECOLOGY. Below these moors, which are not cultivated and abandoned to the black- faced sheep, grouse, and black game, there appears to be two distinct formations which are, in practice, very difficult to distinguish from one another. The one, originally dominated by Pinus sylvestris, probably occupied a great many of the valleys and lower hills in both the extreme North and extreme South of the area. Unfortunately the Old Caledonian forest has long since vanished, though it is said to persist in the birch and Pinus sylvestris forests at Auchnacarry and the Black Wood of Rannoch. No observations of its limits in altitude or distribution have apparently been made in our district. In the North the writer believes that these verv c/ nearly coincided with the "Highland Line " or Roman Wall. There were also, doubtless at some time, Coniferous forests on the Dalmellington hills, and probably also on the Mistylaw and Tinto ranges, but no exact work has been done upon this subject, and the fact that the alpine flora, and no doubt also the Pinewoods, migrated at least once southwards and northwards over the British Isles, renders the problem an exceedingly difficult one to solve. The last formation, that of the oak, can be traced to a certain extent, from historical documents. In Berghaus' Physikal Atlas, Nos. 47 and 48, the range of this tree is given as extending much farther North than is here susfsrested, c? ^j ^j ^j but although the oak may flourish in favoured situations as far, or even farther North than is there represented, it is scarcely possible that it could form the dominant vegetation of the country beyond the Highland line. Practically all woods are artificial in the West of Scotland, and cultivation occupies a very large proportion of the whole area. Everyone of these four dominant formations is interrupted by all sorts of rock, water, peat, and other associations. There is not space even to enumerate the whole of these modified floras, but the following list of typical localities may perhaps be useful to strangers visiting Glasgow with oecological views. Of the seaside vegetations, which are particularly well developed, the following are amongst the best localities : (1) The sand-dunes at Monkton Links and thence to Ardrossan. (2) Zostera meadows (Enaliden Vereins-Klasse) at Hunterston Point. (3) Marine Algae (Nereiden, etc.), at Millport, Cumbrae (this is also one of the best places for flowering plants). (4) Estuarine swamps and muddy foreshore from Dumbarton to Bowling, or at Langbank. (5) Freshwater lochs and marshes abound in the neighbourhood of Glasgow. Perhaps St. Germains pond at Bearsden, and Possil Marsh (walking to Lambhill from Possilpark station) are amongst the best examples of " Rohrsumpfe " and " Sumpfemoore." Lochwinnoch valley and the plain about Renfrew have been so well drained that only an occa- sional willow tree or unhappy-looking Phragmites are left to show the character of the former flora. (6) Deciduous woods are perhaps best developed at the classical locality of the Falls of Clyde (the best walk is from Tillietudlem to Lanark). (7) The ascent of Ben Lomond from Rowardennan, or of the Cobbler from Arrochar, will give a good idea of the Scotch moors and of the Alpine flora. (8) Calder Glen at Lochwinnoch may be visited as an example of a particular sort of lynn or mountain ravine which is difficult to place in any of Warming's categories. (9) The Peat mosses or Sphagnummoore are not very interesting in the Glasgow district. Linwood moss or Garngad is perhaps one of the best. (10) The blaes and blackband heaps (e.g. at Anniesland Toll, Great Western Road) are of great interest as they possess an artificial flora quite distinct from the natural vegetation surrounding it. The map at the beginning of the handbook is divided by latitude and longitude lines ; as explained above, each divison has its capital letter, A, B, HISTORY OF BOTANY. 3 O, etc., the capital letters following each species' name show that the plant occurs in that division. Localities and altitudes are mentioned in most cases. (See Introductions to Separate Lists.) My greatest pleasure in this work has been to publish at any rate part of the records derived from the enormous collections left by the late Koger Kennedy . These include valuable herbaria and microscopic slides of diatoms, algae of all kinds, lichens, and indeed every division of the vegetable kingdom. I must also heartily thank Professor B. G. Cormack, M.A., B.Sc., for his invaluable co-operation and assistance. G. F. SCOTT ELLIOT. HISTORY OF BOTANY IN GLASGOW. There is little evidence of interest in, or pursuit of, the Science of Botany in Glasgow prior to the end of the 18th century, It is true Botany was taught in the old College by the Professor of Anatomy ; but it was only at the period of rebound, after the long French wars, that the Science was taken up in earnest. Then, however, rapid advances were made, so that for a time Glasgow held a prominent position as a botanical centre. The first Botanic Garden in Glasgow was in the precincts of the old College, in the High Street, where a piece of ground was set apart for the cultivation of plants for teaching ; but 110 detailed account of it, or of its contents remains. We have, however, a record of early botanical activity in the Flora Glottiana (1813) of Mr. Hopkirk, who also conceived the idea of the first public Botanic Garden, and stocked it with his own collection. In April, 1817, the first meeting took place, at the instance of Mr. Hopkirk, which started the movement for founding the " Royal Botanic Institution " of Glasgow. Contributions from the Crown and the University, together with subscriptions, sufficed for the acquirement and laying out of some six and a-half acres of ground at Sandyford, then on the outskirts of the city. A Royal Charter was obtained in 1818. Dr. Robert Graham, the first occupant of the Regius Chair, endowed in 1818, also took an active part in the initial movement, and gave several courses of lectures in the new garden, but iu 1821 he was succeeded by Sir William Hooker, a man whose name will be ever memorable in the annals of Botany, and one to whom the Glasgow garden was especially indebted for a great measure of its early success as a scientific institution. Partly as a result of his influence and initiative, and greatly no doubt owing to the zeal with which the movement was supported by individual citizens, and to the position of Glasgow as a great commercial centre, contributions began to come in from every quarter of the globe. Taking the number of species represented as a measure, the growth of the living collections was rapid beyond precedent. In 1821 the number of species living in the garden was about 9,000 ; in 1825 it is quoted at 12,000, while the increase in number from that period onwards was commonly 300 to 500 per annum. Of these a large number were new species, not previously described or figured : this work Hooker carried out, and the publication of his results widened still further the desire on the part of other gardens to effect exchanges with this, so that in 1828, after the garden had been but ten years in existence, the Glasgow Institution found itself not a mere beginner, living upon the scientific charity of the older establishments, but corresponding as an equal with 12 British and Irish, 21 European, and 5 Tropical gardens, while the number of private gardens in correspondence with it was upwards of 300. The estimated market value of the plants in that year was £7,500, but a more correct estimate of their scientific value 4 HISTORY OF BOTANY. is provided for us in the list published in pamphlet form by Sir W. Hooker in 1825, in which a plan of the old garden is to be found. The years 1825 to 1840 were in fact the most notable period in the history of the Glasgow garden as a scientific institution compared with its contemporaries. It is noted in the minute books that at this time "scientific visitors to the garden almost invariably expressed the opinion that the garden would not suffer by comparison with any similar establishment in Europe " : it is to be remarked that this period coincides with the presence in Glasgow of the strongest occupant the Chair of Botany in the University has had, and it amply illus- trates how great may be the personal influence of one individual upon the success of a public institution. It can hardly have come as a surprise to those who had witnessed his work here, that when a Director had to be appointed to the Royal Gardens at Kew, Sir William Hooker was offered, and accepted the post. In 1841 he left Glasgow, taking with him his private herbarium, library, and museum. But before this event, owing to the extension of the town westwards, the garden was rapidly becoming engulfed in streets and houses, and was no longer a fit place for growing plants : it was found impossible to rear Coniferous trees, and many other plants were not grown with the same success as before ; accordingly steps had already been taken to remove the garden from its position at Sandyford : the old ground having been advan- tageously sold, a new and more extensive site was selected further westwards, and the present garden was planned and laid out : from the point of view of scenery the choice was probably the best, but the cold unsympathetic clay soil, and exposed situation have ever since been a bar to the complete success of out-door gardening. This combined with the impurity of the atmosphere have made, and must always make the cultivation under glass a more •J O prominent feature of the garden than out-door effects. Botanically speaking, the years 1842 to 1882 seem to have been monotonous, as compared with the more brilliant early years. As a centre of exchange and distribution of novelties the garden fell off, and the energies of the Institution appear to have been devoted to attempts to meet financial stress by means outside the first objects with which the garden was founded. In 1882 the main range of houses was rebuilt on an improved plan, and the collections largely increased ; but as the money was borrowed, this only led to greater financial difficulties, which were finally overcome by the garden being taken over by the municipality, and it has since been under the control of the Town Council. The Professor of Botany in the University has a titular connection with it, but has now no direct hand in the management. The teaching of Botany in the University, which in the earlier days was conducted in the garden, has in later years been necessarily removed elsewhere : it is useless to regret the severance, which was a consequence on the one hand of increase in the number of students, and on the other of the municipal ownership of the garden. There was a lecture room in the old garden at Sandyford where Dr. Graham, Sir Wm. Hooker, and Prof. J. H. Balfour were heard. In the present garden also a lecture room was built, and used at times by successive Professors up to 1887 ; but it is now divided into dwelling rooms for the gardeners. For many years the University teaching has been carried on at Gilmorehill, and is aided by supplies of specimens from the Botanic garden, still continued under the Act for extension of the City Boundaries. In the present year a large range of rooms at the University, adapted to the modern requirements of the science, has been completed : this will provide suitable rooms for teaching and research, and allow of the proper arrangement of an extensive Museum and Herbarium. It is hoped that this building may become a centre of Botanical interest and reference, and materially help in the advancement of Botany in the West of Scotland. HISTORY OF BOTANY. 5 Teaching had also been carried on from an early date at the Mechanics' Institute, or the Andersonian University, and other Institutions which have been incorporated into the present Technical College. The most notable teacher in these was Roger Kennedy, well known as the author of the 'Clydesdale Flora," of which a new edition was edited by one of his successors, Prof. Thomas King. Kennedy lectured from 1849 till his death in 1876. He was essentially an inspiring teacher, and much of the recent excellent field work of the district has been carried out by his pupils and successors. Its quality may be gauged by the lists contained in this volume, There is at present a scheme for New Buildings on an extensive scale for the Technical College, and doubtless suitable provision will be made in them for Botanical purposes. Of local societies, the Natural History Society of Glasgow and the Andersonian Society are the most active, both as regards meetings and publications ; the lists in this volume, Zoological and Botanical, are largely the work of their members. It is to be regretted that the Biological section of the Philosophical Society is at present in abey- ance ; if reorganised, it should serve the purpose of concentrating the best Biological work of the district. But even without this, it is believed that the output of Botanical work in Glasgow, whether in the field or in the laboratory, will be found to be creditable by those who care to look into it. It must be confessed that the palmy days of Botany in Glasgow were {hose of Sir William Hooker. Nevertheless the material facilities are as great now as ever they were ; intercommunication is easier ; the population is more numerous, and more wealthy. There seems therefore no reason why a high distinction in Botanical work should not be maintained in Glasgow at the present day also. F. O. BOWER, F. R. S. PLANKTON. THE PHYTO-PLANKTON OF THE CLYDE SEA-AREA. THE observations on this subject have been only few in number, and practically the whole of our knowledge is contained in the Report of Observa- tion on Plant Plankton by George Murray, F.R.S., in the Fifteenth Annual Report of the Fishery Board for Scotland, 1897. There is still much work to be done before we shall have a thorough knowledge of the minute free-float- ing vegetation of this area. The most striking character of this plankton, as of that of many other marine areas, is the great seasonal changes which occur, and the regular yearly alternation of Diatoms and Peridinieae. During the early months of the year the Diatoms are extraordinarily abundant in this district and in all the surrounding coastal waters. They continue in enormous numbers for some time and then, towards the end of March, or beginning of April, they begin to diminish in number ; they appear to decrease steadily for some time and then their number remains about constant till the next yearly increase. The Peridinieae, on the other hand, are very few while the Diatoms are in the ascendant, but as the Diatoms fall off in number they begin to increase, reaching their maximum about August and lingering on till December, as described in Mr. Murray's paper quoted above. During the most active period of diatom life the predominant form in the Clyde Sea-Area is certainly Skeletonema costatum. This form exists in such enormous quantities at the surface that Mr. Murray describes how a bow- net may, in a few minutes, be one- third filled with a sediment consisting principally of this species. In the layer beneath, at this time of year, species of Coscinodiscus, Biddulphia, Ditylum, Rhizosolenia, etc., abound, reaching their maximum at about 5 fathoms and extending down to 25 fathoms. The Peridinieae of the later months show a much smaller variety of forms ; those most frequently met with are species of Ceratium, namely : C. tripos, fusus, and /Mm*, of which the first named seems to be most common in the Clyde Sea-Area. The genus Peridinium is also represented by certain forms, but the species have not yet been exactly determined. In the summer, when the Peridinieae take the first place as far as actual quantity is concerned, the Diatoms, though much less in total amount than in the earlier months, show a considerable increase in the number of forms ; of which various species of Chaetoceros are the most noticeable. In late months, such as December, Coscinodiscus concinnus seems to be the most abundant form, and after it come Skeletonema costatum, Biddulphia mobiliensis, Chaetoceros decipiens, roughly in order of abundance, while Ceratium tripos and C. fusus are fairly plentiful. At all seasons of the year, especially near the shore and at the top of lochs and generally at the surface after heavy rain, a number of the Diatoms met with either possess only disorganised contents, or are mere skeletons. This is found particularly in the common species Skeletonema costatum, and is also especially noticeable in large forms like Coscinodiscus concinnus and Biddulphia mobiliensis, but it also occurs frequently in the case of many other Diatoms. This phenomenon is doubtless due to a decrease in the salinity brought about by the influx of fresh water through streams or by heavy rain, which produces a lighter fresh water layer at the surface. Of forms other than the Diatoms and Peridinieae there is very little knowledge ; small floating green algal cells, probably simple members of the Chlorophyceae, are fairly often met with, and present a quite un worked field. A list, drawn up by Professor Cleve, is appended showing the forms met with in hauls from nine stations on the West Coast. The species obtained are very generally the same as those found in the Clyde Sea-Area. PLANKTON. 7 EDITOR'S NOTE. It has been judged best to include the following list, as it gives the best account available of the marine plankton of the West of Scotland. Unfortunately, the localities given are almost all beyond the area under consideration. Never- theless, the marine free-floating vegetation is not likely to differ greatly in its character in the area from the Mull of Kintyre to the head of Loch Ryan. . • 02 J^1 in O a • o O O M *M a a c3 o _q I* j^ ^ ^4^ ^ | £ 3 32 3^ g ID rH *-l . . • o H H 1 '« ^ o > •1-1 o ,0 ~" ^-T ^"a *o • a ^5 hH H-i H •*! 3 C3 _- '^ — — ? rt --H . c| ,£5 2 2 3^ 3r3 •§ 0 1— t o o O o "o o x a 02 >> ^ J a o 3 O p 3 PQ 0 cS a 02 P5 Bacteriastrum varians, Laud., xr x r Cerataulina Bergonii, Per., r rr r Chaetoceros borealis, Bail., r + r C. commutatus, CL, + r r + + C. constrictus, Gran., r C. contortus, Schutt., + + + + C. criophilus, Cast., r C. curvisetus, CL, - CC cc cc cc cc r c CC C. debilis, CL, + c + + 4.

M. Wellwood, but unfortunately he was obliged to resign his position owing to continued ill- health ; he has, however, with great kindness favoured me with a full list of his discoveries which are included under his name. On his resignation, Mr. J. M. B. Taylor and Mr. J. Paterson undertook the labours of compiling and collecting, and I have myself with their assistance, and that of Mr. J. A. Terras, collected and prepared the records from every source known to me. "We have had the inestimable advantage of the assistance of Messrs. W. & G. S. West. They have undertaken and completed the enormous labour of verifying the large collections made by the late Professor Kennedy (now at the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College). They have also most kindly inspected and named a very large number of fresh specimens sent to them from time to time. A sign ! means that the specimen so marked has been verified by Messrs. West. With regard to all other records, the responsibility for the occurrence of the species rests up<>n the botanist whose initials follow after the locality. G. F. SCOTT ELLIOT. INDEX OF ABBREVIATIONS.

Comber from materials supplied by Dr. Thompson and others ; from slides of Professor Walker Arnott, and others in his own collection ; and from two nettings in the Firth of Clyde supplied by Dr. Murray. The works of Professor Gregory of Edinburgh, and the herbaria of Professors Walker Arnott, and R. Henuedy have also been consulted. Rev. Dr. Landsborough, of Kilmarnock, also supplied a MS. list of his own and the late Dr. Landsborough's collections. All the findings recorded since the list was begun have been verified by Mr. Comber, except a few which wrere named by Mr. W. West, and which occurred in collections of Freshwrater Algae.

THAT this order of plants is very abundant in the West of Scotland is a well-known fact to all who have taken any interest in aquatic plants. Yet although there are 27 species and 23 varieties given in the ninth edition of the Lond. Cat. of British Plants, the following are all that are recorded in the Clyde area. The Messrs. H. & J. Groves have always proved willing and ready to help in the identification of either fresh or dried specimens : Chara fragilis, Desv. var. barbata, Gant. — F G, Milngavie ; Millport. var. capillacea, Coss. and G. — C, Drymen. var. delicatula, Braun. — E, Tarbert.

THE classification, which has been adopted in the following list, was suggested by Dr. O. V. Darbishire, and is based upon that proposed by Dr. Eeinke (Pringsheim^s Jahrbuch. 1894-1896). It has not, however,been thought advisable to subdivide the genera Lecanora and Lecidea. A thorough and critical revision of all the species described in Crombie's and Leighton's works would be certainly necessary if they are to be included in such a system, and of course any such revision was quite impossible in the time at our disposal. Dr. O. V. Darbishire has with the greatest kindness examined a very great number of specimens, and his help has been invaluable in the preparation of the list. Many others, especially Lecideas and Graphideae, have been critically examined by the Rev. W. Johnson, whose assistance has also been of the greatest value. The compiler must also express his gratitude to the authorities of the British Museum, and to Professor Bayley Balfour, for permission to consult the herbaria in London and Edinburgh respectively, and to Messrs. L. Watt, J. Murray, D. A. Boyd, and J. Paterson for many interesting specimens and notes. It is unfortunately only too evident that the district has been insufficiently explored, yet every attempt has been made to include all trustworthy records. Many species, which occur in the list submitted to the British Association in 1876, are not mentioned in the following one ; these consist of forms found on Ben Lawers, or in other places beyond our boundaries. The committee hoped to obtain the valuable assistance of Dr. Stirton, the compiler of the previous list, but to their great regret we found that he was unable to undertake the work. The very short time available has been a great obstacle, and a great many species collected by myself are not mentioned at all, in default of proper verification by the referees. The authority of Leighton, Crombie, or Dr. Stirton, and the opinion of Dr. Darbishire, or the Rev. W. Johnson has been considered as decisive. Very few records have been permitted to appear if not confirmed by one or other of these lichenologists. There is a distinct similarity in the distribution of the lichens as compared with that of the flowering plants. Certain species are found on mountain summits, and again on rocks by the seashore, though they are apparently absent from the cultivated ground, low hills, and other less exposed places. A large number are almost confined to the Inveraray and Loch Lomond districts (A and B), though some reappear about Loch Doon (L), where there is probably another sub-alpine region. But whilst Glen Falloch, for instance, has been explored by almost every British lichenologist of note, very few seem to have visited any part of the Lowlands except the Falls of Clyde.

IN the preparation of this list, the chief works used have been Saccardo's Sylloge Fungorum, Karsten's Revisio Monographica atque Synopsis Ascomy- cetum in Fennia hucusque detectorum, Phillips's Manual of the British Dis- comycetes, and Plowright's Monograph of the British Uredineae and Ustilagineae, besides the various books and papers mentioned below, and several others which have been consulted for minor details. The usual mark of authentication (!) is placed after localities from which specimens have been submitted to one or more of the referees. The numerals placed after this sign correspond with those in the appended lists of referees and published works. When compared with the published results of rnycological research in the East of Scotland, the list now submitted contrasts very unfavourably as regards the number of genera and species which it contains. This defect, however, must not be attributed to climatic or other physical causes. The genial climate of the West Coast, and the natural configuration of the shores and islands of the Firth of Clyde, with their luxuriant vegetation and moist shady glens, afford the very best conditions for the development of microfungi. In view of the manifest incompleteness of the present list, it may be hoped that its publication will stimulate local research, and so enable the Mycologi- cal Flora of the West of Scotland to be ere long as fully and carefully investi- gated as that of the Eastern counties has already been.

STUDY of Fungi in the West of Scotland may be said to date from the visit of the Cryptogamic Society to Glasgow in 1880. Kennedy, it is true, had taken it up to some extent, and has left a considerable number of specimens of the Polypori, correctly named, in the Technical College Museum, but he seems to have had no helpers or successors, until the late Professor Thomas King, with one or two other members of the Natural History Society, entered upon it at the date named. It is due to the visits •of the Cryptogamic Society, of which Mr. King afterwards became Local Secretary and Treasurer, and greatly to his enthusiasm, that there is any •material for a record of this section of the Cryptogams of this district. The list has been drawn up, as to arrangement and nomenclature, accord- ing to the Rev. Dr. Stevenson's Hymenomycetes Britannici, and, for the 'Gastromycetes, that in Mr. George Massee's British Fungus Flora. In these two families, as given in the works named, there are 1749 species of which 538 have been recorded for the Clyde area. The district, however, has not been very thoroughly examined, except in those sections easily accessible ; indeed for two of them, D-I (Kintyre, south of Ardrishaig), and K (South Ayrshire), there is not a single record, while in others the number is comparatively few, as shown in the following statement for the various sections : A, 172 species ; B, 178 ; C, 82 ; D-I, 0 ; E-J, 61 ; F, 278, •G, 356 ; H, 87 ; K, 0 ; L-M, 128. The following species, not in Hymenomycetes Britannici, are in the list : Ag. (Psilocybe) sarcocephalus, Fr. Craigends, (F.) R. B. Johnston ; Bolbitius bulbillosus, Fr. Largs, (F.) W. S. ; Russula azurea, Bres., and R. caerulea, Pers., Rossdlm, (B.) Dr. Plowright ; var. nivea, Pers. of K. fragilis, and var. niveus of Boletus scaber, Buchanan Castle, (C.) Dr. Plowright ; Poly- porus sanguineus, Fr., P. pergamenus, Fr., and Stereum lobatum, Kunze, Botanic Gardens, (G.) R. Paterson, certified by Dr. M. C. Cooke ; Cyphella capula, Fr., var. cernua, Schum., West Kilbride, (F.) D. A. Boyd ; and three Clavariae, certified by Dr. Cooke as C. fragilis, C. helvola, and C. Candida, Botanic Gardens, (G.) W. S. The records of the Cryptogamic Society of Scotland, the lists of the late Professor Thomas King, Mr. D. A. Boyd, West Kilbride, and the local secretary, and the collections made during the course of the work by willing assistants of the Natural History and Andersonian Societies, are the main sources from which the material has been drawn. The list was submitted to and approved by the Society at Boat-of -Garten, 18th September, 1900. The Society's referees for rare, uncommon, and critical species were : the Rev. John Stevenson, LL.D., F.R.S.E., Glamis ; Rev. James Keith, LL.D., Forres ; Rev. David Paul, LL.D., Edinburgh ; and Dr. C. B. Plowright, Kings Lynn, of the British Mycological Society ; to all of whom thanks are due. Thanks are also due to Mr. Lymburn and Mr. Barrett for facilities for research in the University and Mitchell Libraries ; and to Mr. G. F. .Scott Elliot, M.A., B.Sc., F.L.S., F.R.G.S., for access to records and aid in HYMENOMYCETES AND GASTROMYCETES. 79 collecting ; to Mr. R. B. Johnston, Honorary Secretary of the Andersonian Naturalists' Society, who collated the material for the Gastromycetes ; and to him and others for researches in various districts.

Some plants included in the former have been left out, whilst on the other hand a great many additions have been made, though the greatest care has been exercised both with regard to the proscribed limits and the exclusion of doubtful records. It would be rash to say that all these plants do not occur in the Clyde area, but as the plants cannot be produced, it is perhaps safer to exclude them. The nomenclature followed may be said to be that of Dr. Spruce, than whom England has not produced a more ardent or critical enthusiast on this order of plants, and whose nomenclature is in general use among British collectors at the present time. P. EWING. EDITOR'S NOTE. The district letters and additional records obtained by Mr. Lee and myself (mostly verified by Herr K. Muller of Freiburg) have been added by myself. G. F. SCOTT ELLIOT.

THE neighbourhood of the City of Glasgow with its concomitants of steel, iron and chemical works, coal mines, manufactories and miles of dwelling houses, does not appear a very promising tract of country for the growth of plants, yet as we become better acquainted with the open spaces even within the smoke-begrimed area of the city proper we shall be surprised by the great variety of flowering plants found within a radius of only a few miles of Glasgow Royal Exchange. Fossil Marsh, for instance, now included within the city boundary, is still the happy hunting ground of the city botanist, and has beeu for long known as the haunt of many rare plants. Butomus umbellatus, L., and Sagittaria sagittifolia, L., were supposed to be fully established there twenty years ago, and though these and many others are now plants of the past, there still remain many interesting and beautiful forms in this and other such places within easy distance of the city. For the purposes of this catalogue it was thought advisable to limit the boundaries of research to the land draining into the River and Firth of Clyde only, not as on the occasion of the former meeting of this Association, in 1876, when the area involved was the entire West of Scotland, and although the time at our disposal has been too limited to overtake systema- tically the sections into which it was proposed to divide this tract of country, a glance at the following lists will make it evident that a very fair knowledge of its flora has been gained. Nearly all the information contained in these pages was collected for the Glasgow Catalogue of Native and Established Plants, in which list the names of all those who assisted with the work appear. We nevertheless feel it to be our duty again to thank those specialists who so kindly certified critical species, and thereby made the records valuable. Nearly every plant of any con sequence here given has been seen either by Mr. A. Bennett, F.L.S., Croydon, Rev. E. F. Linton, M.A., Rev. E. S. Marshall, M.A., F.L.S., who have either named the plants themselves or obtained an opinion on them from .some other well known expert. We have not thought it advisable to compare in detail the present list with that made in 1876. This one is much more extensive, although it does >not embrace anything like the same amount of country, many of the plants there given as rare, will be found common here, many there given as common will be found rare here, and a good number do not appear here at all. It may be mentioned that the names of towns or villages given are those •of the nearest railway station to the point at which the plant was noted, and that it was found within a few miles of that place. Although there is in the area with which we have had to deal a very large amount of sea margin, there are also, as has been already remarked, numerous hi.lls overlooking it. Certainly few of these reach the alpine or even the PHANEROGAMS. Ill sub-alpine limit, the majority of them being under 1500 ft., but deep glens and rocky summits lend them the requisites of an extensive and varied flora. Exposure : Natural protection is admittedly one of the most important factors in plant life. Light, heat, and moisture plants must certainly have, but these, without the proper shelter, both during summer and winter, to the majority of our native plants, would avail but little. Had space per- mitted, many notable examples might have been given in illustration of this observation. For instance, in the case of ballast heap plants, we have forms imported from colder climates than our own which yet are unable to pass through our winter. Many Canadian plants do not pass through the winter with us, yet the Rhododendron, which flowers with us while SUOWT is on the ground, cannot pass through the Canadian winter. Similar instances are to be found in our own native flora. Doubtless it is for some .such reason that we find Erophila inflata, Hook, fil., Juncus castaneus, Sm., Woodsia hyperborea, R. Br., and alpine ferns generally on eastern, and most luxuriant on north-eastern exposures, and Arabis petraea, Lam., Juncus biglumis, L., principally on western, and most luxuriantly on south-western exposures. These are one or two notable cases, but a very large list might be made up from our own Scottish flora. What effect the mild winters of recent years is having on our flora generally, it does not come within the scope of our present purpose to enquire, however interesting and important the subject may be. Temperature : The present mean temperature at different points of former agrarian levels, during the growing season shows the cause of failure in attempting to grow cereals now, where in comparatively recent times very good crops of corn were cultivated. In consequence of this failure, plants associated with arable lands in these districts have suffered, and will ultimately become extinct. The classification followed is that of the London catalogue, 9th edition. P. EWING, F.L.S. EDITOR'S NOTE. The capital letters showing records in the districts and the altitudes have been added by the editor from the following well-known authorities, Light- foot, Bryce, Balfour, Hooker, Hennedy, and Buchanan White. Great injustice would also have been done to such well known workers as John Smith, Flora Ayrshire, L. Watt, D. A. Boyd, T. Wise, Dr. Fullarton and A. Somerville, by the absence of their records, and so far as possible their work has been included also. The short time available has made this very difficult, and their contributions are only distinguished by the commas between the letters. G. F. SCOTT ELLIOT.

BY EBENEZER DUNCAN, M.D. PEEHISTORIC. THE only evidence of existence of man in the Clyde Valley during the palaeo- lithic period is that adduced by the Rev. Frederick Smith in a paper entitled u Palaeolithic Remains in Scotland'"1 published in 1898. He figures there certain water-worn stones obtained on the shores of the Clyde Estuary which have a striking resemblance to palaeolithic weapons, and are similiar to those found in the Somrne Valley and in England. He believes that the floor of the Clyde Estuary formed the hunting ground of palaeolithic man during the period of the great upheaval in Scotland, when the ground now covered by the waters of the Clyde Estuary was covered by forest trees, among which the Mammalian Fauna of the Pleistocene age were abundantly found. He alleges that stone weapons, formed by human agency in that remote age, have been floated up from the bed of the Estuary by sea-weed during storms and cast upon the shore at Ayr and Prestwick, where he found them lying. Unfortunately we have no means of ascertaining the physical characters of the race of men who fashioned these weapons, if weapons they be. The remains of the Mammoth, the Reindeer, The Irish Elk, the Urus, and the horse have been found in the interglacial beds of Scotland, but no bones of palaeolithic man have hitherto been found either in the Clyde Valley or elsewhere in Scotland. PRIMITIVE RACE. Archaeological investigation has proved that in the neolithic age the primi- tive race inhabiting Scotland was Iberian in type, i.e. short statured and long headed people who buried their dead in chambered graves of the long barrow type. The first evidence of the existence of this race in the Clyde valley was found by the writer a few years ago in the Island of Arran, where he discovered a tumulus containing chambered graves. Several human skeletons were found by him in one of these chambers. From the construc- tion of the graves, the condition of the bones and the physical characters of the skeletons, he formed the opinion that they were the remains of a pre- Aryan Iberian race,2 short in stature, dark in complexion, and with Dolicho- cephalic skulls. These bones were examined by Professor John Young, and may now be found in the Hunterian Museum of the University of Glasgow. ^•Proceedings of the Philos. Soc. Glasgow, vol. xxx., page 35. - "The Scottish Races," Proceedings of Glasgoio Philosophical Soc., vol. 28. 150 ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE CLYDE VALLEY. More extensive explorations of these Arran graves were made last year by the writer in conjunction with Dr. Thomas Bryce of Glasgow. In an adjoin- ing compartment of the same tumulus more human bones were unearthed and associated with them a chipped flint implement and some fragments of rude undecorated pottery which fixed the age of the graves in the neolithic period. Another tumulus in the same vicinity yielded even more interesting results. The graves were chambered graves built in series under a cairn of stones. A number of complete skulls were obtained associated with rude undecorated fragments of pottery and polished stone implements. One com- plete clay bowl was found near the bottom of the grave which was decorated with a geometrical pattern ; it did not contain any human remains. No trace of cremated remains and no bronze articles were discovered. The objects found under this cairn fixed its age in the later neolithic period. The bones were carefully examined by Dr. Bryce who reported as follows : "All the skulls were dolicho-cephalic two exaggeratedly so. In other respects the skeletons showed primitive characters especially in the case of the shin- bones which in the majority were platyeuemic. "Thus in later neolithic times the inhabitants of the Clyde valley were still of the Iberian race, characterised by long head, short stature, and pro- bably dark complexion, mingled with the earliest Celtic immigrants. They had not begun to use bronze. They still burned their dead, and were already skilful in the manufacture of pottery. These earlier inhabitants may well have been driven over to the outlying islands by the pressure from the east, and it is probable that in these outlying inaccessible regions the stage of neolithic culture may have overlapped the succeeding bronze culture established on the mainland." The Celts are supposed to have arrived in Britain about 1200 B.C. Skeletons having Brachy-cephalic crania and all the other osseous charac- teristics of the Celt have been found in various parts of the Clyde district, in short cists, stone coffins, and, as cremated fragments, in cinerary urns. In their first interments their osseous remains have been associated with polished stone implements, marking the date of their first appearance in the neolithic age. At a later period of the archaeological record bronze weapons were found in these graves, and as we approach the historical period, articles of gold and of iron. In the Clyde district a skull of this Celtic type was found in Kilsyth Moss, and was afterwards figured in the Crania Britannica. Another specimen was found by the late Dr. James Bryce at Tormore, Arran. It was as- sociated with stone implements and with a bronze pin. This latter skull was examined and measured by the late Dr. Allen Thomson, and is now to be seen in the Museuni of the Scottish Antiquarian Society. Unfor- tunately most of the Celtic graves which have been opened in the Clyde district have been examined by persons who placed no value on the osteological remains they contained. Stone and bronze weapons, imple- ments, and ornaments have been carefully gathered, described, and pre- served, but unfortunately for the anthropologist, the bones have generally been thrown aside as of no value. HISTORICAL. In the first historical accounts of the races found in the Clyde valley, Strathclyde was said to be in the possession of a powerful Celtic tribe called the Damnii, who spoke the Cornish dialect and who are supposed to have come from the same stock as the Celts of Cornwall. Archaeological investigation proves that long before the historical period the Celts had almost entirely displaced the aboriginal Iberian race from the Clyde valley ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE CLYDE VALLEY. 151 and had driven them into the remoter parts of the country. On the with- drawal of the Roman legions at the end of the 4th century the Damnii were subjected to an invasion by the Scots and Picts, who colonised the northern districts of Strathclyde, driving the Damnii into the southern parts of Lanarkshire and into Galloway. The Scots and Picts, being themselves Celts, introduced no new racial element. They differed from their prede- cessors only in the dialect they spoke. About the beginning of the fifth century the Teutonic race began to make its appearance in Scotland. Scandinavians, Frisians, and Saxons found their way along the valley of the Forth, and a few of them made themselves a home in the neighbouring Clyde valley. Like the Celts, these people were a tall, muscular, fair-headed race, but, unlike the Celts, they were long-headed, resembling in this respect the Iberian aboriginals, but differing from the Iberians not only in their larger stature but in having a somewhat progna- thous face. They were followed in the middle of the sixth century by hordes of Angles of the same Teutonic type, who invaded Northumbria, and, marching northwards, drove out the Celtic inhabitants from the south- eastern counties of Scotland, and founded there the kingdom of Bernicia. The Teutonising of the western lowlands followed in the seventh century, when the Angles of Bernicia conquered and partially colonised the most fertile parts of the Clyde valley. From this date onwards until the twelfth century bands of Teutons (Angles, Saxons, and Normans) swarmed into Scotland, where by conquest, by intermarriage with the daughters of the Celtic chiefs, and by grants of land from the Scottish kings, they overran the whole of the lowlands of Strathclvde. driving the Celtic tribes into the " ™ wilds of Galloway and into the mountainous regions of the northern high- lands. The last racial element was added to the people of the valley in the twelfth century, when, in consequence of their expulsion from England by Henry II., a numerous body of Flemings found refuge in Scotland. Several colonies of these people, who were mostly of Teutonic origin, are known to have settled in Strathclvde. • TABLE OF RACIAL ELEMENTS IN THE CLYDE VALLEY. 1st. Iberian, Long-headed. 2nd.

No trace remains in any part of Britain of the speech of the Iberian aboriginals. The remnants of this race in the Hebrides of Scotland, in Wales, and in the West of Ireland, look upon themselves as pure Celts, and cling tenaciously to the Celtic language. In early historical times three British dialects of the Celtic language were spoken in Strathclyde. The bulk of the population in the districts now known as Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, Ayrshire, and Dumbartonshire, spoke the Cornish dialect. On the shores of Argyllshire the Gaelic dialect was spoken, and in the southern half of Lanarkshire Welsh was the dialect in 152 ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE CLYDE VALLEY. common use. Many of the old place names in various parts of Strathclyde retain the Celtic form, but the Celtic speech is rapidly becoming extinct. Two of its dialects, Cornish and Welsh, became extinct at an early period, and Gaelic only survives as a spoken language in a small percentage of the population. Since the thirteenth century a dialect known as lowland Scotch, the old Anglian dialect of Bernicia, has been spoken by the Scottish lowlander in Strathclyde. The number of people who still speak Gaelic in the three most populous counties of the Clydesdale valley is stated in the Census for 1891, as follows : Total Number of Persons Number of Persons p p^niiiatinn wno speak who speak opulation. Gaelic only. English and Gaelic. centaSe- Lanarkshire, 1,046,040 84 22,887 Eenfrewshire, 290,798 63 8,425 Ayrshire, 226,283 14 1,827 Total, 1,563,121 161 33,139 POPULATION. At the census of 1801 the population in the drainage area of the Clyde and its estuary, amounted in round numbers to about 350,000. During the nineteenth century, not only has the native population increased with great rapidity, but, owing to the rapid growth of the iron and coal industries, a large number of people have been attracted from all parts of Gieat Britain and Ireland. The population has changed in character from a people, the majority of whom were engaged in rural and agricultural pursuits, to a community of town dwellers. From data furnished by the Eegistrar-General I calculate that the population of Strathclyde now (1901) numbers about 2,000,000. One half of this number live in Glasgow and its adjacent suburbs. The larger part of the remainder lives iu the other manufacturing centres of the Clyde valley. Some idea of the extent to which the racial type is being modified by this fresh invasion of new comers, may be arrived at by a consideration of the figures disclosed by the Census tables of 1891. Taking Glasgow as an example, within its Municipal boundaries the population at that date amounted to 658,198, and of these only 349,597 were born in the city. 308,601 were born in other parts of Great Britain and Ireland. Of the latter, 134,000 were recruited from the adjacent counties of Scotland south of the Clyde and Forth, and 84,796 from the northern counties of Scotland. 66,071 were born in Ireland, and 23,557 were English born. The number of foreigners was comparatively insignificant. These figures show that although no new racial element has been added by the influx of strangers, the tendency is to an increase of the Celtic strain and to a gradual approximation of the dwellers in the Clyde valley to the Teuto-Celtic type, which is the most prevalent type of man found in England, and erroneously named Anglo-Saxon. CEANIOLOGY. It is an axiom that the shape of the skull is one of the least variable characteristics of race. As it is quite certain that no trace of the aboriginal Iberian has been found in Strathclyde during the historical period, the shape of the crania of the present inhabitants is a very conclusive test of the amount of Teutonic blood, as compared with Celtic blood, which they now possess. The cephalic index is the test most readily applicable. In any part of Britain where the Iberian is excluded the long-headed people are mostly Teutonic in ancestry, and the broad-headed mostly Celtic. Four ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE CLYDE VALLEY. 153 years ago in a paper on the Scottish Eaces,1 I published a table of the sizes and shapes of hats supplied to Glasgow and London respectively by one of the largest London firms of hat makers. The figures seemed to show that the heads of the people of Glasgow were on the average larger and longer than the heads of the people of London, and, therefore, approached more nearly to the dolicho-cephalic type of the Teuton. Since the publication of that paper, three firms of wholesale hatters doing a large business both in Glasgow and London have, through the kindness of Mr. Stewart, Hatter, Glasgow, furnished me with their experience of the hat shapes and sizes commonly sold by them in these towns. The figures are approximately the same as those previously published, but the average cephalic index is slightly higher. This may be accounted for by these firms providing to a greater extent hats for the working classes among whom, in Glasgow, Irish and Highland round-headed Celts are numerous. A uthorities. Thos.

Through- the kindness of Mr. Kirsop, Hatter, Glasgow, I have had an opportunity of ascertaining the size of head of 265 of his customers, who are of the middle and upper classes. The size and shape of the head was measured very accurately by a hatter's instrument called the Conformateur. I estimated the cephalic index of these persons with the following results : 139 were found to have cephalic index varying from 70 to 78 inclusive, and 126 had a cephalic index of 79 to 89 inclusive. The average size of hat for these people was 7|. Comparing 10 of the most typical dolicho-cephalic heads with 10 of the most typical brachy-cephalic heads, I found that the former were larger on the average than the latter in the proportion of 7Jth to 6|th. The high average hat size of 7|th in these 265 persons suggested to me the possibility of some selection of the persons measured by Mr. Kirsop. On enquiry I found that for trade reasons the small sizes of head were not so regularly measured and thus the average is higher than it ought to be, and does not correspond with the average hat size 6§ calculated from the Proceedings of the Philos. Soc. Glasgoiv, vol. 28, page 11. 154 ANTHROPOLOGY OF THE CLYDE VALLEY. tables furnished by the London hat manufacturers. The following table sub-divides the 265 heads measured into the classes usually named by craniologists : Cranial index below 75 dolicho-cephalic, - 38 „ „ 75 to 77 sub-dolicho cephalic, - - 69 „ „ 78 and 79 ortho-cephalic, - - 52 „ „ 80 to 82 sub-brachy cephalic, - - 61 „ „ 83 to 89 brachy-cephalic, - 44 265 It is evident from the above tables that the majority of the dwellers in the Clyde valley are still more Teutonic than Celtic in blood. Nevertheless during the nineteenth century a modification has taken place in the strongly Teutonic character of the people. From the continual influx of recruits from all parts of Britain and Ireland an approximation to the ortho-cephalic index so common in London is becoming more marked in Glasgow. In a few generations the mixing of the different racial elements in the Clyde valley will certainly lead to a more uniform type and to the elimination of the extreme examples of the long-headed and broad-headed people, which the above tables show to exist among the population of Strathclyde at the present time.

Examples of the above four species of " Grey " geese have been obtained or recorded at rarr intervals.

Bernicla leucopsis (Bechstein). — Barnacle-Goose. B. brenta (Pallas). — Brent Goose. Gray stated that the former species greatly outnumbered the latter in this region.

ARRANGEMENT AND NOMENCLATURE : Eev. O. P. Cambridge's List of British and Irish Spiders, 1900. "Clyde" on account of its position and the diversity of country will, when thoroughly investigated, probably be found to occupy a high place among the ' drainage areas ' of Scotland. This should act as a stimulus to resident naturalists to take up the work begun by the late Morris Young and H. C. Young. Their records have been of the greatest service in compiling this list. Help has also been received from many local naturalists to all of whom I here tender my best thanks. I have personally only * sampled ' the Clyde spiders at various points but my captures include 5 new to the Scottish list, two (Tapinocyba pollens and Cornicularia Jcarpinskii) being first records for Britain. The number of species in this list is 201 — out of 290 recorded from Scot- land— and as against 215 in the adjoining "Forth" area. A good many are rarities, but space does not allow me to particularise. Reliability in the identification being of the first importance, it is satis- factory that the high authority of the Eev. O. Pickard-Cambridge, F.R.S., can be cited for nearly every species on the list. My personal obligations to him in this matter are very great, and he has my hearty acknowledgment and thanks. I have also to thank Mr. G. H. Carpenter, B.Sc., for verifying the determinations of some of my Arran specimens. Contractions for Authorities for localities, etc., are : W. E. B. = W. E. Baxter, Glasgow: short list of spiders taken by himself some years ago. Dr. C. = late Dr. H. Colquhoun, Bothwell : small coll. chiefly at Dunoon, 1843-6 ; given to H. C.

From his Journals — now in the possession of Mr. M'Naught Campbell who has kindly given me the use of them — I have also got many records of specimens marked as named by O. P. C. M. \. = late Morris Young, Paisley : furnished O. P. C. with many valuable local records ; a list by himself of the rarer spiders of Renfrew, appeared in Ann. Scot. N.H., 1894, p. 185.

P. insignis (Giard & Bonnier} ( = P. crenulata, G. 0. Sars, of my list).- According to M. Bonnier the Pseudione of Munida rugosa is a different sp. from P. crenulata, G. 0. Sars, found on Munida tenuimana ; Sars considers them the same species. P. sp. — From the branchial cavity of Pandalina brevirostris (Rathke). Clyde (Henderson, as Bopyrus sp.). (?) P. sp.— From the branchial cavity of Eupagurus prideauxi (Leach). Clyde (Henderson, as Bopyrus sp.). Pleurocrypta hendersoni, Giard & Bonnier (=P. marginata, G. 0. Sars. Scott, in 18th Ann. Rept.

The name Clyde Sea-area was introduced in order to group together the estuary of the Clyde and all the sea-lochs along that part of the coast of Scotland which is separated from the Atlantic by the protecting arm of the peninsula of Kintyre. It lies within a line drawn from the Mull of Kintyre to the Rinns of Galloway, and is included between the parallels of 55° 5' and 56° 17' N., and the meridians of 4° 30' and 5° 40' W., with a connected water area of 1140 square miles. Configuration. The region consists of a lowland or seaward part, edged mainly by gentle landslopes, from the sea to the Island of Bute, and of a highland or landward part, in which the sea-water invades a series of long valleys, branching on the whole northwards with a tendency either towards the east or west. Two of these valleys, with an easterly and a westerly trend respectively, are connected, forming the Kyles of Bute, and others approach each other, such as Loch Goil and Loch Fyne or the GareJoch and Loch Long. A depression of 30 feet would admit sea- water to Loch Eck and Loch Lomond (both of which are filled with fresh water) and would greatly lengthen all the sea-lochs by flooding the extensive fiats at their heads. An upheaval of 30 feet, on the other hand, would convert Loch Riddon, Loch Goil and the Gareloch into fresh water lakes, and separate the Kyles of Bute into two lochs of typical form. In the infinite irregularity and variety of bare mountain slopes and deep valley trenches, the uniform level of the smooth surface of the sea-lochs and the broader reaches of the sea-area suggests a uniformity which does not really exist. Could one remove the veil of water, the hollows it covers would appear in their true character, scarcely less varied in outline than the land, forming ridges, hollows, mountainous islands and shoals sometimes of surprising steepness, and broad gently-sloping plains. The featureless monotonv of the water is merelv a mask, but it has caused names to be •/ ,/ applied to different portions of the surface which do not correspond with the natural regions outlined by the hidden features whose influence on the regime of the water and its inhabitants is paramount. Hence for the pur- pose of scientific description some liberties must be taken with the names which appear upon ordinary maps, although we shall use these as far as possible. The types of submarine configuration to be considered may be restricted to the two simplest and most important — plateaux or shallows and basins or deeps ; and of these the Clyde Sea-area is made up as follows : Natural Divisions. The Great Plateau forms a broad shelf or counter across the mouth of the Area from the Mull of Kintyre to Ayrshire, a distance of 30 miles, separating the wa.ter of the North Channel and Irish Sea on the south (with depths over 80 fathoms) from the equally deep hollows of the Arran Basin to the north. The contour-lines of 30 fathoms depth inside and outside the Plateau are about 12 miles apart, and the Island of 2B 386 PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF Arran, Kintyre and Ayrshire are all connected by a ridge, the water on which is nowhere more than 25 fathoms deep, and in many places consider- ably less. Numerous small islands, the most prominent of which is Ailsu Craig-, rise from the Plateau. An upheaval of 150 feet would entirely exclude the sea and convert the Clyde Sea-area into one great fresh- water lake and half a dozen small ones. The Arran Basin consists of two deep troughs closely embracing the west and east of Arran, which unite at the north of that island, and the single hollow runs straight up Lower Loch Fyne to Otter Spit, the whole having the form of the Greek letter A. The western limb, 30 miles long, occupies Kilbrennan Sound, and has a maximum depth of 84 fathoms. The eastern limb is in the region usually known as the Firth of Clyde, and it runs on continuously with the northern or central limb, the two being traversed for 50 miles by one depression, which, with a depth exceeding 50 fathoms, runs from off Pladda, in the south of Arran, to off Kilfinan, near the head of the Basin at Otter Spit. This depression lies near the Island of Arran and shoals gradual!}7 towards the great sweep of shallow water along the Ayr- shire coast. The deepest area is a narrow trough continuously over 80 fathoms in depth, which runs for 27 miles from a line between Corrie in Arran and the south point of Bute to off Stonefiekl, north of Tarbert. In this trough the deepest depression in the Clyde Sea-area is found off Skate Island, where a hole only a few hundred yards in diameter has a depth of 107 fathoms. Two short branches of the Arran Basin project north- eastward, one between Bute and the Cumbraes, the other up the western arm of the Kyles of Bute. The sea north of Arran where the eastern and western branches of the basin unite is known superficially as Inchmarnock Water, while the central branch running up to Otter Spit is popularly included in Loch Fyne, or is more accurately called Lower Loch Fyne. Upper Loch Fy?ie, which is always meant in this notice when " Loch Fyne " is referred to without qualification, is barred off from the Arran Basin b}r the shoal at Otter, which rises to within 15 fathoms of the surface in mid-channel. The Otter Spit, curving out from the Cowal shore, restricts the entrance of Upper Loch Fyne to a breadth of f mile, except at high tide, when the spit is covered, and the breadth expands to 1| miles. Inside Otter Spit there is a stretch of 7^ miles to Minard Narrows, with a mean depth along the axis of 31 fathoms and 35 fathoms as its maximum, which has been termed the Gortans Basin. At Minard a group of islands splits Loch Fyne into two narrow channels, which are 12 and 18 fathoms deep respectively. Beyond Minard the bed of Upper Loch Fyne deepens gradually to 40 fathoms off Furnace, and then abruptly to 60 fathoms, the greatest depth being 75 fathoms, off Pennimore Point.1 The deep channel runs up Loch Fyne to beyond Dunderawe, the branch known as Loch Shira being only a shallow bay. The distance from Minard to the head of Loch Fyne is 18^ miles, and the breadth of nearly a mile diminishes above Inveraray, the loch gradually narrowing towards the head, where it is less than j mile wide, while the hills bordering it become higher and their slopes more steep. The Dunoon Basin runs, north-eastward from the Bute Plateau, which bars the short north-eastern branch of the Arran Basin, and pursues its way in a straight line up Lower Loch Long to the entrance of Loch Goil, a distance of 20 miles. The mountainous peninsula between the Dunoon Basin and Loch Fyne is known as Cowal, and is trenched by a series of inlets on its south-eastern side, all running nearly N.N.W. towards Loch Fyne, and most of them occupied by sea-lochs, which give to the Cowal shore of the 1 I have searched repeatedly and very carefully for the depth of 82 fathoms marked on the Admiralty Chart at this position, and am satisfied that 75^ fathoms is the greatest depth which actually exists. THE CLYDE SEA- ARE A. 387 Dunoon Basin a complexity of outline in its large features, contrasting with the general smoothness of the shores of Loch Fyne and the Central Arran Basin. The Bute Plateau has a maximum depth of 20 fathoms on its shallowest line, and the Dunoon Basin deepens to 56 fathoms off Dunoon, and, after shallowing, deepens again at the head to 55 fathoms at Dog Rock, off the mouth of Loch Goil. Upper Loch Long (to which the name " Loch Long " as used in this paper always refers) is simply the upper end of the Dunoon Basin, a stretch 8|- miles long, separated from the deep at Dog Rock by a bar rising to within 18 fathoms of the surface. It has a maximum depth of 35 fathoms ; it is less than half a mile wide, and is walled by very steep mountain slopes. Loch Goil opens into the head of the Dunoon Basin across a bar with only 7 fathoms of water on it. It is separated from Loch Long by the rugged peninsula rising into heights of 2000 feet and more, which is named in some freak of Highland humour " Argyll's Bowling Green." The loch penetrates for 5 miles amongst the steepest hillsides of the whole area and preserves a breadth of a little more than half a mile almost to its head. The maximum depth is 47 fathoms ; and this depth, combined with the small area and shallow entrance, isolates the water of Loch Goil more completely than that in any other part of the area. The Holy Loch is only a deep bay opening into the Dunoon Basin but it is of interest by occupying the mouth of the valley of the fresh Loch Eck, and receiving its extensive drainage. Loch Striven and the eastern arm of the Kyles of Bute open to the north of the Bute Plateau between Rothesay and Toward Point. Loch Striven gradually tapers from its mouth to the head, unlike most of the lochs, and runs for 9 miles between steep and uniform hillsides. It maximum depth is 42 fathoms, and its main depression crosses the opening of the Kyles and cuts into the Bute Plateau. Where the two branches of the Kyles of Bute unite the short but very picturesque Loch Riddon runs northward, forming the mouth of the long valley known as Glendaruel. It is much shallowed towards the head by the material brought down by the River Ruel. The Estuary of the River Clvde runs due westward into the Dunoon «/ *t Basin between Gourock and Kilcreggan. It is everywhere shallow; depths of 5 fathoms not extending further east than the line joining Greenock and Roseneath Point, and on account of the narrowness of the navigable channel and the great amount of traffic it has not been so minutely studied from the points of view of salinity and temperature as the deeper and quieter waters. The Oareloch is entered from the estuary, and stretches in a straight line towards Loch Goil, a basin to which it presents several analogies and con- trasts. It is five miles long, separated from the estuary by a bar with no more than 5 fathoms on it at Row Point, which is a spit resembling that at Otter. The loch is similar in outline, identical in orientation and nearly equal in area and depth on the bar to Loch Goil ; but it has only half the average depth of that loch and its deepest part is ouly 22 fathoms, while the land bordering it is comparatively low and has the gentlest slopes that surround any of the Clyde lochs. Loch Lomond, which discharges into the estuary by the river Leven at Dumbarton, is filled with fresh water and its surface stands 24 feet above sea-level ; but its configuration is exactly similar to that of the sea-lochs of which, were it at sea level, it would be by far the deepest. The relation of the depths along the axis of the deepest water from the Channel across the Great Plateau, up the eastern branch of the Arran Basin to the head of Loch Fyne is shown in the accompanying section (Fig. 1), the slopes of which are enormously exaggerated as the scales show : 388 PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF THE CLYDE SEA- ARE A. 389 §,£3 *^ '^ 75 ^^ ^^ F^ i^ t^^ f*^ r^i •j^~l co i *•* S S O^ f^ f^ f^ ^^ I-H OO 71 CO CO iO ^ i> *"* ?O CO 71 71 C*"1 CO •"" 'N 71 ^H |^« co •5 !/5 * COCCCOCOCOCOCOCOCOCO — CO a fl 49 0 S- ID _o _o H,| •— (Ci-^71-— F-HOOOOCO cocpppppppppp boooobobooo 1— 1 o> a 22 o 6 t~"^ Cl 30 ^™* O5 ^H t^» CO CJ O1 O^ S^ CC CC Ci '— Oli ^H CC CO ^-J C) 71 *5 " l"» O !>• ^ """i O O O O O "-"i U3 o << lOQOOOOOOOOOO S * |s| pjra t^1^ OC OO GO ^J*1 ^^5 00 ^^ ^^ ^T*5 ^^ 0) ?s ^ tt i 10 r* O 1C t^ ^ (N CC T^ o O _4J _ s ^" ^^ w HH HH H .s o X ™*'"2 - .~T F-VJ ^T.^ ^*f."^ nf*~* y or* ^^ c^ ^^ c**i ^^ ^^ oC1 ?o 1 43 1 C3 ^ *_^* CC ^^ CT"! ^^ ^^ Ol CO ^^ 1 O ^™* - ir-» CO C5 ^ 71 X X hH H s ^ '2 *" 71 O ^^ T^ CO CO t-l ^Q^ ' " ^ B c3 i— i S w a « « co»-':xx7JO';-iTt S •- ' s "^ • • • • "^ ^N ^| r; ^ "eB Q^ •-» ^ c^ "*^ *^^ ""^ O O ^ j ~» -u O^^JW^^HSjOW 0 390 PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF Tides. The crest of the tidal wave is almost simultaneous over the Clyde Sea-area, high water occurring at the heads of the remotest lochs within 17 minutes of the time of high water at Lam lash in Arran. In the river- there is more retardation, about 1^ hours in the case of Glasgow. The tidal currents in the broad channels and at the heads of the lochs are rarely more rapid than 1 knot per hour ; but in the narrow channels, and especially where the depth as well as the \vidth is reduced, there are tidal races which give rise to a choppy sea, and mix the water thoroughly from surface to bottom. This is especially the case in the North Channel off the Mull of Cantyre and at the entrance to the Gareloch, at both of which the spring tides run at over 5 knots, while at Otter Spit at the entrance to Upper Loch Fyne the ordinary spring tide attains 3^ knots. These velocities are increased or diminished in a notable degree according as the wind conspires with or blows against the current. Salinity. The saltness of the great body of the water in the Clyde Sea- Area is remarkable ; the deeper layers, even at the head of the remotest lochs, are nearly pure sea-water, while the brackish water on the surface only forms a thin skin. The average salinity of the water is subject to change by evaporation in dry weather, and by dilution in wet weather. The follow- ing table shows the average and the extreme range of the salinity of the whole mass of water in each division as observed in 1886-88: TABLE II. — SALINITY OF WATER IN THE CLYDE SEA-AREA.

Although the salinities are calculated from specific gravities, the great diversity in the forms expressing the latter factor is a sufficient reason for using salinities for purposes of comparison either in the form of total salts or per cent, of pure sea-water. In order to show the difference between the salinity at surface and bottom and the slight influence exercised by the former on the salinity of the whole mass of water a few selected stations are compared in Table III.

There are not sufficient observations to justify us in fixing the possible variations in salinity at any one point ; but it seems probable that they are rarely more than correspond to an addition to the average of 5 per cent, more sea-water or of 10 per cent, more fresh water. An exception may occur at the head of lochs where the effect of wind in mixing the water is most felt. The rainfall of the Clyde Sea-area is that typical of the west coast, heavy on the high ground, less so on the low ground, and everywhere showing a maximum in winter (December and January being the wettest months) and a minimum in early summer, the driest months being May and June. While it is impossible from the small number of rainfall stations to speak with any degree of certainty, it is probable that the average annual rainfall for the 20 years, 1866-1885, was about 56 inches on the landward portion of the Clyde Sea-area and about 43 inches on the seaward portion. During the investigation of salinity a clear relation wras found between the degree of dilution of the water and the amount of rain in the preceding two months. There are fairly distinct indications that the normal salinity of the whole mass of the water is subject to an annual variation similar but inverse to the annual variation of rainfall. The rainfall minimum in May is followed by a maximum -of salinity in July and August, and the rainfall maximum from October to January by a salinity minimum from December to March. The w^ater as a whole seems to be freshest in February and saltest in July and August. During a severe frost the surface of the narrow sea-lochs is frequently frozen over ; but in the cases I have seen this is the result of the cooling during a cold eight of the ice-cold surface film of fresh water poured in from the mountain slopes after a temporary thaw, and in no case was the ice formed from sea-water. Chemistry of the Water. The chemistry of the water of the Clyde Sea- area has only been partially studied. I am not acquainted with any determinations of the dissolved gases in the water, and the only chemical analyses of high precision to which I can refer are those carried out by Mr. A. Dickie in the late Professor Dittmar's laboratory in Glasgow in 1887, and those by Mr. H. N. Dickson in the Oxford University laboratory in 1896, the samples in both cases having been collected mainly by myself. Mr. Dickie determined Chlorine, Sulphuric Acid, and Alkalinity in 117 samples collected on six trips at intervals of about two months ; Mr. Dickson determined Chlorine, Sulphuric Acid, and Density by direct pyknometer 392 PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF weighings in 30 samples collected on one trip. The results are not easily explained or accounted for. It is quite clear on expressing the amounts of sulphuric acid and alkalinity in terms of unit weight of chlorine (so as to eliminate differences due to mere variations in salinity) that the water of the Clyde Sea-area differs materially from that of the open ocean. By Professor Dittmar's analyses of 77 ocean-waters he found the average ratio of sulphuric- acid (SO3) to chlorine to be 0'115S. Mr. Dickie found in the Clyde Sea- area an average of 0'1172, and Mr. Dickson 0'1189. This indicates an excess of sulphates due either to the addition of river-salts or to impurities in the water, and the alkalinities, which are also greater than in ocean water, point in the same direction. Taking all the observations the averages according to vertical position are as follows : Samples from Dickie. Dickson. Surface, 0'1171 0'1185 Intermediate, 0'1173 O1191 Bottom, 0-1172 0-1192 This shows some evidence of an increase of sulphates relative to chlorides with depth, i.e. with salinity ; in other words the less land-water the more sulphates — a paradoxical conclusion. No definite relations of the sulphates or alkalinity to position can be made out ; the results of the chemical analyses showing a far greater change from time to time than from place to place.

Deposits. The deposits on the bed of the Clyde Sea-area are mostly sands on the shallows and mud in the deep water. They have been studied to some extent by Mr. J. Y. Buchanan, who found evidence of the effect of the masses of chemical-works refuse which for many years have been discharged into the water of the Area. He found a very considerable proportion of sulphur, chiefly in the form of ferrous sulphide, in the muds of the deeper basins ; and at several points, especially in the Arran Basin and on the Bute Plateau, there were numbers of nodules mainly composed of oxides of manganese and iron, quite similar to those found in the red clay of the greatest ocean depths. The sulphur in the deposits may possibly account for the increased proportion of sulphates in the deep water. Thermal Conditions. While there is a certain individuality in the thermal regime of each physical region due to its individual configuration, a general idea of the seasonal march of temperature in the water may be given by considering the North Channel, the Arran Basin, and the deep lochs, as a group represented by Loch Goil, which is a very good specimen of the type. On account of the thorough tidal mixing of the water in the North Channel the temperature at any time is the same from surface to bottom, and all seasonal changes of temperature take place simultaneously throughout the whole depth. From the annual minimum of temperature in March, about 42° or 44°, the water in the Channel warms up steadily and gradually to about 56° in September, and cools again uniformly for the next six months (see curves in Fig. 2). All the water carried in to the Arran Basin by the THE CLYDE SEA-AREA. 393 tide is thus homothermic Channel water passed in sheets less than 25 fathoms thick across the flat counter of the Great Plateau. fe 2 4 J 4. 4 4 •5 4 6 •>' 4 a * s 5 a b 5 > 5 3 5 4 5 5 r H / \ y \ / oTarh?

The result is that the surface water heats up more rapidly and to a higher degree than the deeper layers, which change their temperature — probably because 394 PHYSICAL CONDITIONS OF of tidal mixture — almost homothermically, until at the period of annual maximum the surface reaches about 56° in August, and the bottom about 51* in October. When cooling commences it takes place almost simultaneously throughout the whole depth, so that although nearly nine months are required to raise the temperature at the bottom from the minimum to the maximum, only three months are necessary for reducing it from the maximum to the minimum. During the later months of cooling the surface water remains colder than that beneath (see curves in Fig. 3). From the Arran Basin communication is had directly with Loch Fyne and the Dunoon Basin, the latter leading to Loch Goil. Loch Goil, much more isolated than the Arran Basin from oceanic influence, shows all the characteristics which distinguish the Arran Basin from the Channel, but in an exaggerated degree. At the annual minimum in early spring the mass of water is homothermic, and practically at the same temperature as in all other parts of the Area, but the surface alone heats up rapidly as the season advances. The mass of water below the level of the bar heats very slowly, and only to a slight extent. It is probable that heat from the surface-layers is transmitted downwards mainly by the slow process of conduction, the maximum temperature at the bottom being reached late in winter nearly six months after the date of the surface maximum, and only a month or two before the minimum temperature reasserts itself from top to bottom. The vertical distribution of temperature is thus subject to remarkable changes. The curve of the minimum is homo- thermic as elsewhere, the curve of heating shows a great range of temperature, and when cooling sets in its upper part is reversed in direction. The cold of winter may have reduced the upper layers of water to 34° or less, while the heat of the previous summer is still being conducted downwards, and the water remains warmest in the centre and colder both above and below. The conditions of Loch Fyne have been more fully investigated than those of the other lochs. The shallow Gortans Basin, with its entrance and exit restricted by bars, serves as an intermediate chamber between the Arran Basin and the deep Upper Basin of Loch Fyne. The steep rise of the sea-bed off Otter causes the flood tide to produce an updraughtof deep water from the Arran Basin, breaking the warm skin of surface water in summer and the cold skin of surface water in winter, and filling the Gortans Basin with nearly homothermic water of relatively high salinity. This water is passed on to the Upper Basin at Minard, and occupies the gently sloping bed of the loch as far as Furnace ; but there, where the Upper Basin drops abruptly, the incoming tidal water seems to intrude itself like a wedge horizontally into the mass of the water of the Upper Basin, not directly affecting the deeper layers, which thus remain nearly as isolated as those of Loch Goil, and present a similar thermal regime (see curves in Fig. 4). In the deep lochs it will be noticed that the annual range of temperature becomes less as the depth is greater, and it would seem from a consideration of the temperature curves that if the depth of Upper Loch Fyne were increased to 150 fathoms, the temperature of the deepest water would retain the minimum temperature practically unchanged all the year round. The three series of curves in Figs. 2-4 show the temperature at various depths in three typical regions as observed in 1886-87 during a complete cycle of heating and cooling. The numbers attached to the curves indicate their position in this cycle as follow : (1) Minimum, (2) Early heating, (3) Later heating, (4) Maximum of upper layers, (5) Maximum of mean temperature, (6) Early general cooling, and (7) Later cooling. In April, 1886, the water of the whole area from a depth of 5 fathoms to the bottom had a temperature so nearly uniform that it did not vary more than O2° from 42°'0 F. ; at the corresponding date in 1887 it was within 1° of 44° F. : in 1888 within 1° of 43 F. : and from numerous though less THE CLYDE SEA-AREA. 305 complete observations in the first week of April, 1896, it was not more than 1° from 440>8 F. All these represent very nearly the period of annual minimum, and the upper layer of 5 fathoms was at no place more than, and rarelv so much as, 1° warmer than the average of the mass of the water • * ^^ Farh?o FIG. 4. They amply justify the general statement that at the annual minimum the Clyde Sea-area is homothermic, i.e. is at the same temperature from surface to bottom throughout its whole extent. The process of heating up brings into prominence the control that the con- figuration of the various divisions exercises on the march of temperature in the water, the greater the restriction of communication with the open sea the slower being the propagation of warmth downward, and the longer the period after the surface has begun to cool again before the seasonal maximum reaches the bottom. This is very clearly shown in the curves. Taken as a whole the observations of 1886-88 showed that while the mean annual temperature of the air was 47°, the mean annual temperature of the upper 5 fathoms of water was 48'8°, showing that the inflowing ocean water is on the average of the year warmth-bringing. For about 240 days the surface-water was warmer than the air, and the air was warmer than the surface- water for only 125 days in the year, i.e. for eight months out of the twelve the" air is being warmed by the water. As 1887 was a typical year and the various temperature trips were happily timed to catch the critical points in the curve of seasonal change the table on page 396 gives a fair idea of normal temperature changes. The retardation of phase and restriction of range in deep water by isolation from the open sea is illustrated by the following table of temperatures at a depth of 40 fathoms for various seasons in the year 1886 which started from the lowest minimum observed in the course of these researches.

We have so far endeavoured to deduce from the observations actually made some approximation to the normal condition of tilings which would exist if the water were never subject to very strong winds, but it is necessary to refer to the great irregularities which a long continued strong wind produces. These effects are most strikingly shown in the narrow mountain-girdled sea-lochs, where the wind usually blows either up or down the valley. In the case of a strong continuous up-loch wind the Hood-tide is accelerated and the ebb retarded ; but the fresher surface- water^ which in summer is warmer and in winter colder than that beneath, is accumulated by a sort of skimming at the head of the loch, thus tending to raise the level and so forcing away the deeper salt layers. At the same time the reaction currents set up by the stream of water entering the loch cause an up welling of the salter deep water on the bar at the mouth both from outside and inside ; and if the wind were to last long enough the whole mass of water in the loch-basin would be thoroughly mixed and reduced through- out to a uniform temperature and a uniform salinity. It may be that the rapid fall of temperature to the spring minimum is partly due to the frequency of heavy gales in winter. When a down-loch wind is blowing the conditions are reversed. Then the ebb-tide is accelerated and the flood retarded on the surface. At the same time the fresher surface-water is driven down, and perhaps out of the loch, and its place taken by the salter water drawn up from below. This accounts for the paradox that the saltest surface water in the whole Clyde Sea-area has been found at the head of the lochs where the largest rivers flow in,, during a down-loch wind ; while the freshest bottom water has been found in the same positions with an up-loch wind. Cross-loch winds produce similar effects, but these occur less frequently, and except when specially investigated have usually escaped attention, as the regular observations, designed to investigate the seasonal changes of temperature and salinity were usuallv made in mid-channel where the effect is at a minimum.

THE West of Scotland has for a long time been fortunate in possessing an active number of workers in Geological and Palaeontological science, and much of the outcome of their labours during the last fifty or sixty years has been made available to the public through the Transactions of the Natural History Society, and those of the Geological Society of Glasgow. The first attempt to consolidate the many lists and papers on local geology resulted in the publication of " The Carboniferous Fossils of the West of Scotland, by (Dr.) John Young, with a General Catalogue of the Fossils by James Armstrong," which was issued in 1871. l This book again formed the nucleus of the more exhaustive " Catalogue of the Western Scottish Fossils," compiled by John Armstrong, John Young, F.G.S., and David Robertson, F.G.S., which was published as a local guide- book for the use of the members of the British Association, whose meeting- was held in Glasgow in 1876. The editors were largely assisted in its articles by other workers in field and study work, and to such good purpose that the "Catalogue" has up to the present day served as a reliable guide to the Geology of the West of Scotland, and is by no means even yet superseded. The following Geological portion of the " Handbook ;: for the British Association meeting of 1901 has been drawn up on somewhat similar lines to those of the former volumes, the various articles in it beginning with thr lowest formation represented in the area and gradually ascending to the most recent. A glance at its pages will show that the contributors are worthy successors of the men who preceded them. Preparations for the work were begun some years ago, and it is unfor- tunately the case that a number of those who promised to contribute died before they were able to carry out their intentions, or at least did not survive to revise and correct the articles in print, so that these have had either to be supplied by other hands, or at least have not had the benefit of the author's supervision. Amongst these deceased gentlemen may be mentioned Dr. John Young, F.G.S., to whose work and efforts the cause of Western Scottish geological 1 Transactions of the Geological Society of Glasgow, vol. iii., supplement, 1871. 400 GEOLOGY AND PALAEONTOLOGY. investigation must ever owe a debt of gratitude ; Dr. David Robertson, F.G.S., and Dr. (Jrosskey, F.G.S., his coadjutor in the investigation of the Clyde Post-tertiary beds ; James Thomson, F.G.S., known generally as " Coral " Thomson, for his laborious work in connection with that group ; Robert Craig, of Beith, an ardent worker in the Carboniferous Limestones of Ayrshire ; Dugald Bell, F.G.S. an enthusiast in the study of geological glacial phenomena ; James Bennie, of the Geological Survey, whose investigations, more especially in connection with "Surface Geology," have bee.n of great importance ; and Mr. James W. Kirkby, of Leven, Fifeshire, an authority upon all connected with the Carboniferous rocks, whose death occurred only within the last few weeks. In conclusion it may be added that though the nomenclature of many of the genera and species will be found to be altered from that of the 1876 Catalogue there is much in that volume which has not been superseded in the present Handbook. The attention of students may therefore still be directed to it for much interesting matter. THE GEOLOGY OF THE CLYDE TERRITORY. BY J. HORNE, F.R.S. THIS district embraces the natural drainage area of the River Clyde and of the sea-lochs that form extensions of its estuary. Northwards the boundary line is defined by the mountains round the head of Loch Fyne and Loch Lomond ; eastwards by the watershed between the Clyde and the rivers flowing east to the German Ocean; and southwards by a line drawn from the Mull of Kintyre to the southern point of Ayrshire. It thus comprises a broad belt of crystalline schists extending from Loch Lomond to the Mull of Kintyre, a portion of the Silurian tableland of the Southern Uplands and a great development of Old Red Sandstone and Carboniferous strata occupy- ing the western part of the Central Lowlands. The southern limit of the crystalline schists of the southwest Highlands is defined, between Loch Lomond and Toward Point south of Dunoon, by powerful faults which let down the Old Red Sandstone on the southeast side. Immediately to the north of this fault, between Loch Lomond and Callander, there is a narrow belt of strata, provisionally correlated with the Arenig rocks of the south of Scotland, including hornblende-schists, chlorite-schists, cherts, black shales and grits. Similar strata have been recently identified by Mr. Gunn of the Geological Survey in North Glen Sannox, Arran, and they have been traced at intervals along the Highland border by Messrs. Barrow, Dakyns, and Clough, to Forfarshire and Kincardineshire. In Arran the green rocks of igneous origin comprise lavas, volcanic agglomerates and intrusive masses which recall petrological types of the Arenig igneous rocks in Ayrshire. Both in Arran and in the Kelty Water near Callander these strata are considerably deformed ; the igneous rocks have been rendered schistose, the black shales are cleaved, the cherts have been granulitised, and the grits show flaser structure. Though the black shales have yielded impressions which simulate the appearance of graptolites, it must be frankly stated that no fossils have been obtained from these rocks which prove their age. In Forfarshire, Radiolaria have been found in the cherts, and certain rounded bodies have been detected in the same rocks in the Callander region which may prove to be traces of these organisms. The relation of these presumably Silurian rocks to the schistose grits of the Highlands, both near Loch Lomond and in Arran, is still uncertain. In Forfarshire and Kincardine- shire Mr. Barrow of the Geological Survey has drawn a reversed fault between the two, but no such line of displacement has yet been detected in the southwest Highlands. Indeed the boundary line must be regarded as a provisional one in the Callander district and in Arran. To the north of the belt of strata just described there is an important development of altered sedimentary rocks forming the crystalline schists of the Eastern Highlands. The various subdivisions are arranged in a definite order, but it is uncertain whether it indicates the original sequence of 2c 402 THE GEOLOGY OF deposition. In the Loch Lomond district and in the western part of Perthshire the groups are met with in apparent descending order as given below : 10. Blair Atholl limestone and black schists. 9. Quartzite. 8. Graphitic schist with thin lenticular bands of limestone, clay-slate, and calcareous sericite-schist. 7. Garnetiferous mica-schist. 6. Loch Tay limestone. 5. Mica-schists with sills of epidiorite. 4. Schistose epidotic grits (green beds). 3. Ben Ledi grits. 2. Aberfoyle slates, with subordinate bands of grit. 1. Leny and Aberfoyle grits. In Cowal and the district round the head of Loch Fyne, further subdivisions of the crystalline schists have been introduced by the Geological Survey which need not here be given. It is sufficient to state that the groups met with in Perthshire have been identified and traced across the county of Argyll. For example, the Dunoon grits and phyllites are evidently the pro- longations of the grits and slates at Aberfoyle ; the Ben Ledi grit group is largely represented in Cowal and in Kintyre : the green beds (No. 4), mica- schists (No. 5), and the Loch Tay limestone (No. 6) have been traced westwards from the head of Glen Fyne by Glendaruel to Loch Tarbert, and they reappear to the north of Campbeltown. The higher groups (Nos. 8, 9, 10) are evidently represented by the Ardrishaig phyllites and Loch Awe series, the latter com- prising limestones, black slates, grits, and quartzites. There can be little doubt that most of these rocks were originally sedi- mentary deposits, for in many instances the original clastic grains may still be recognised. Annelid tubes have been detected in the quartzites of Jura and Islay (No. 9) ; similar structures were detected by the late Duke of Argyll in quartzose-schists near Inveraray, and Mr. Macnair, of the Glasgow Geological Society, has detected what he believes to be worm-casts in certain schists apparently above the Loch Tay limestone. The geological age of these eastern Highland schists (the Dalradian series of Sir A. Geikie) still remains to be determined. These sedimentary rocks have been subjected to a regional raetamorphism which cannot be attributed to any intrusion of igneous rocks now visible at the surface. Indeed Mr. Clough and Mr. Hill, of the Geo- logical Survey, have been led to believe that in the Cowal area the metamorphism increases in intensity from the southeast and from the northwest towards a central anticline of foliation trending in a northeast and southwest direction. These crystalline schists are pierced by igneous rocks belonging to different geological periods. One group, which is older than the regional metamorphism of the sedimentary rocks, comprises gabbro, epidiorite, and hornblende- schists ; the other set is later than this metamorphism, and is represented by various igneous masses, as, for example, the plutonic rocks of Garabal Hill near the head of Loch Lomond, and the numerous sheets and dykes of acid igneous materials (quartz-porphyries and porphyrites) in the neighbourhood of Loch Fyne, and in other districts. The geological structure of the Silurian tableland of the Southern Uplands is extremely complicated, due partly to the non-fossiliferous character of many of the strata, partly to the inversion of the rocks over wide areas, and partly to the variation in the types of sedimentation ranging from oceanic to shallow- water and shore conditions. The true order of succession has been demon- strated by Professor Lapworth, who, by means of the vertical distribution of the graptolites, furnished a clue to unravel the stratigraphy of the whole region. As a result of the detailed examination of the tableland, it may be THE CLYDE TERRITORY. 403 stated that the evidence points to continuous sedimentation from Arenig to Ludlow and Downtonian time, save in the northwest region where local unconformabilities occur. The northwest portion of the Silurian tableland embraced in the Clyde territory furnishes striking proof of the lateral variation of the Silurian strata as the observer passes from the central Moffat region northwestwards to Leadhills and Girvan. The land from which the sediment was derived lay to the north, and hence there is a gradual increase in the thickness of several divisions of the Silurian system as we approach the Girvan area. One prominent rock-group preserves, with rare exceptions, its uniform lithological characters throughout the uplands. It consists of cherts and mudstones partly of Upper Arenig and partly of Lower Llandeilo age, which, where not deformed or altered by intrusive igneous masses, are richly charged with Radiolaria. The mudstones contain hingeless brachiopods and other organisms. The cherts, which have been formed from a true radiolarian ooze, and the mudstones, imply an oceanic phase of sedimentation. Their age is clearly defined, for throughout the uplands, where exposed on anticlinal folds, they are overlain by the Glenkiln shales with graptolites of Upper Llandeilo age ; and they rest on volcanic rocks containing, in the Girvan area, cherty mudstones and graptolitic shales, yielding Middle Arenig graptolites (see general Table of Silurian strata, pp. 424, 425). By far the greatest development of the Arenig volcanic rocks occurs near Ballantrae, where they consist of diabase and diabase-porphyrite lavas, agglomerates and tuffs, pierced by various plutonic masses, including serpentine, gabbro, dolerite, and granite. But they reappear on numerous anticlines between Abington and Leadhills in Upper Clydesdale, where they are overlain by the Radiolarian cherts and Glenkiln-Hartfell black shales. The subdivisions of the Moffat series, established by Professor Lapworth in the central portion of the tableland : viz. Glenkiln shales (Upper Llandeilo), Hartfell shales (Caradoc), and Birkhill shales (Llandovery), imply conditions of deposition near the verge of sedimentation, for they consist of alternations of black shales, cherty bands and mudstones with rare intercalations of coarser sediment. The total thickness of these divisions of the Silurian system in the Moffat region does not exceed 300 feet, and when traced northwest to the limit of the tableland they are represented in the Girvan region by upwards of 5000 feet of strata (see general Table of Silurian rocks, pp. 424, 425). These lateral variations may thus be briefly summarised. Northwards from the central Moffat area the Birkhill shales are gradually replaced by coarser sediments, till along the northern margin of the Tarannon belt they are represented by grits, greywackes, and shales with thin carbonaceous seams yielding dwarfed representatives of Lower Birkhill graptolites. In like manner in the northern area, the Hartfell black shales undergo a similar change, and their characteristic graptolites appear, either in thin black seams interleaved in flaggy shales, or in dark sandy shales. The barren mudstones of the central Moffat region are represented in the Leadhills region by grey and blue micaceous shales (Lowther shales), 'grey wackes and grits, with lenticular masses of limestone, which at Wrae and Glencotho are associated with volcanic rocks. Similarly M the Glenkiln shales lose their normal lithological characters in the northern belt, and their characteristic graptolites are found in thin dark seams in sandy shales, interbedded with greywackes and shales. In the Girvan region these lateral modifications of the strata are more strongly marked, as shown by Professor Lapworth, for the Moffat series is there represented by a vast thickness of conglomerates, grits, greywackes, flagstones, shales, mudstones and limestones (Barr series, Ardmillan series, Newlands series of Lapworth, see p. 429). To the north of the valley of the 404 THE GEOLOGY OF Stinchar, in the Girvan and Ballantrae region, the foregoing divisions of the Silurian system rest unconformably on an eroded platform of Arenig volcanic rocks. South of the Stinchar valley this unconformability disappears, and the sequence resembles that found in the western part of the northern belt. In view of the fossil evidence it has been inferred that this break in the geological record north of the Stinchar valley took place in Upper Llandeilo time. The order of succession and subdivisions of the fossiliferous rocks of Girvan, ranging from the close of the Llandeilo period to Wenlock time, are given in the sequel (p. 429). Along the southern margin of the tableland and beyond the limits of the Clyde territory the Tarannon rocks of the central belt pass conformably upwards into Wenlock and Ludlow strata. North of the Silurian tableland and within the area occupied by the Old Red Sandstone, various inliers of Upper Silurian rocks are exposed, which have long been familiar to geologists from the discovery of eurypterids in the strata in Logan Water by the late Dr. Slimon of Lesmahagow. Recently fresh interest has been imparted to the study of these inliers by the remarkable fish-fauna obtained from the Ludlow and Downtonian strata. The Upper Ludlow rocks of the Lesmahagow inlier have yielded phyllocarid crustaceans and eurypterids in excellent preservation, together with the remains of a scorpion, a myriapod, two species of fishes (Thelodus}^ and other organisms. Next in order there is a group of red and yellow sandstones, conglomerates, shales, and mudstones, forming passage-beds between the underlying Ludlow strata and the overlying Old Red Sandstone, resembling the Downton rocks of Shropshire. The shales and mudstones intercalated in this series have yielded an assemblage of organic remains, in some respects identical with that of the underlying Ludlow rocks, including ostracods, phyllocarid crustaceans, eurypterids, and fishes. The researches of Dr. Traquair have shown the great biological and palaeontological value of this fish-fauna. The discovery of these organic remains in the passage-beds has led to a change in the classification of these rocks by the Geological Survey. Though formerly grouped with the Old Red Sandstone, they are now regarded as forming the highest subdivision of the Silurian system in the south of Scotland. The band of greywacke-conglomerate which is traceable from the Pentland Hills into Ayrshire, save in certain parts of Lanarkshire, is now regarded as the base line of the Lower Old Red Sandstone. For it is not till we reach the horizon of this greywacke-conglomerate that evidence is found of the predominance of materials which have been derived from the Silurian tableland. In the northwest part of the tableland the Silurian strata are pierced by various plutonic rocks, of which the largest is the granite mass stretching from Loch Doon to Loch Dee. According to Mr. Teall this mass includes various petrological types, as, for example, granitite, hornblende-granitite, quartz-augite-biotite-diorite, and quartz-biotite-hyperite. Towards the close of Downtonian time the Silurian strata of the south of Scotland were elevated and subjected to prolonged denudation, for we find, both in Ayrshire and in the Pentland Hills, the basal conglomerates of the Lower Old Red Sandstone resting unconformably on the folded and eroded edges of the Silurian rocks. In Lanarkshire, however, there seems to be a passage from the one formation to the other. At that period also, the crystalline schists of the Highlands must have formed a prominent land barrier towards the north before the deposition of the Lower Old Red Sandstone sediments. The various divisions of the Old Red Sandstone as developed in the Clyde territory are represented in the following table : fc o EH Q PH Q Lower. \ THE CLYDE TERRITORY. 405 jy f Band of cornstone near the top. pper. ^jje(j san(Jstones and conglomerates.

Lower Division. On the south side of the great midland valley, and along the margin of the Silurian tableland there is an important development of the lower division of the Old Red Sandstone. On the south side of the Girvan valley, the members of group 1 rest unconformably on an eroded platform of Silurian rocks, and on the north side of the same valley they reappear, and are largely developed near Maybole and Kirkoswald, passing northwards underneath the overlying volcanic series (group 2 in table) which extends north by Dunure Castle to near the Heads of Ayr. In Lanarkshire the Lower Old Red Sandstone is let down against the Silurian strata by the great fault wThich skirts the tableland. The red sandstones and con- glomerates (group 1 in the table) are well seen in the gorge of the River Clyde at Lanark, whence they stretch westwards by Lesmahagow to near Darvel in Ayrshire, where they pass underneath the overlying volcanic series (group 2). The volcanic group is also exposed on the slopes of Tinto, and can be traced westwards to near Douglas, reappearing in the Duneaton Water to the west of the Douglas coalfield. Along their south- east margin the lavas and tuffs pass upwards into the members of the over- lying beds (group 3). Indeed between the Duneaton Water and the Clyde at Lamington the beds forming the highest division of the Lower Old Red Sandstone lie in a synclinal fold of the volcanic series (group 2). Grits and yellow sandstones occurring at the base pass upwards into massive con- glomerates, and these are overlaid in turn by chocolate-coloured sandstones. These beds furnish evidence of the cessation of volcanic activity, for the sandstones are largely composed of volcanic detritus, and the pebbles in the massive conglomerates consist mainly of andesite. The Lower Old Red Sandstone strata in Lanarkshire and Ayrshire are traversed by various basic and acid eruptive rocks. Near the head- waters of the Avon, southeast of Darvel in Ayrshire, a small mass of granite occurs, containing petrological types, which, according to Dr. Flett, resemble those met with in the Loch Doon granite, both masses being presumably of the same age. Numerous sills of acid material have been injected, mainly along the lines of bedding of the lower red sandstones, of which the massive sheet of quartz-felsite on the crest of Tinto are a conspicuous example. On the north side of the midland valley the members of the Lower Old Red Sandstone can be traced from the Forth above Stirling, west by Dry men, to a point on the Firth of Clyde, near Cardross. In the eastern part of this area the strata are arranged in a great synclinal fold, the central axis of which coincides with a line drawn from Flanders Moss, in the valley of the Forth, to near Drymen. The strata forming this syncline belong to the highest division of the Lower Old Red Sandstone (group 3), for on the southeast side the volcanic series (group 2) rises from underneath these sandstones in the Ochil Hills, where the lavas, tuffs, and agglomerates reach their greatest development in Scotland. On the north side of this 40G THE GEOLOGY OF great syncline a representative of the volcanic series is found near Aberfoyle close to the great Highland fault. Here a band of andesite appears, overlaid by massive conglomerates and sandstones which are highly inclined or vertical. Southwards the angle of inclination decreases, and the strata have a gentle dip on both sides of the synclinal axis, where they consist of grey sandstones, which yielded to Mr. R. L. Jack plant-remains, regarded by Mr. Kidston as specimens of Arthrostigma (Dawson). Representatives of the Lower Old Red Sandstone likewise occur in Arran to the east and south of the granite area. In the latter district Mr. Gunn recently detected the volcanic zone in association with the sandstones. The Lower division is largely developed in the extreme southeast of Kintyre between Campbeltown and Southend, where the sandstones are accompanied by trappean conglomerates and pierced by necks of volcanic agglomerate. Upper Division. At the close of the Lower Old fled Sandstone period important geographical changes again ensued, for everywhere there is a marked unconforniability between the upper division of this system and older formations. The vast accumulation of deposits, both sedimentary and volcanic, of the lower division was elevated, folded, and subjected to pro- longed denudation. Indeed, in some instances, the old Silurian tableland was trenched by narrow valleys, as in the far northeast in the Lammer- muirs. Subsidence again ensued, but as vet the marine fauna of the O ' v Carboniferous period was excluded from the area of sedimentation. Though the Upper Old Red Sandstone rests everywhere unconformably on older formations, it graduates upwards into the Carboniferous rocks. Indeed it was at one time regarded as forming a lower subdivision of the Calciferous Sandstone. Lithologically the red sandstones of the upper division resemble those of the lower, and they likewise yield land-plants and fishes. The fish- fauna, however, is wholly different from that met with in the Caledonian or lower division, one of the most characteristic forms being Holoptychius nobilissvmus. In Upper Clydesdale the Upper Old Red Sandstone extends from Hynd- ford Bridge on the Clyde, east by Carnwath, to Dunsyre Hill, being a continuation of the Cairn Hill sandstones of the Pentland chain. In Ayr- shire it is traceable from the shore at the Heads of Ayr, in a southeasterly direction, — lapping round the Lower Old Red volcanic rocks, and underlying red sandstones, — to Blairquhan in the Girvan Valley. There the cornstone near the top of this division is well seen in the Lannielane quarries, south of Kilkerran Castle. Again to the north of the Campsie and Kilpatrick Hills a narrow belt of these red sandstones can be traced from Kippen, by Killearn, to the Firth of Clyde near Cardross. Here there is additional evidence of the marked unconformability between the two divisions of the system, for the upper red sandstones dip to the southeast, and the lower are inclined to the northwest. The cornstone near the top of this series has been traced at intervals along the north side of the Campsie Fells, and has been worked for lime between Balfron and Gargunnock. On the shores of the Firth of Clyde the Upper Old Red Sandstone is traceable from Wemyss Bay, southwards by Largs and Fairlie, to Ardrossan. On the pro- montory at Rosneath, at Toward Point, and again in the island of Bute, it is faulted against the crystalline schists of the Highlands. These red sand- stones likewise occur in Arran, both to the east and south of the main granite mass, and likewise in Kintyre to the southwest of Campbeltown, and on the west coast near Cleongart. The Carboniferous formation is largely developed in the West of Scotland where it occupies the greater part of the Central Lowlands, extending west- wards to the shores of the Clyde, and southwards to Dalmellington in the County of Ayr. There is sufficient evidence for maintaining, however, that originally it must have covered a much wider area, for though the Silurian THE CLYDE TERRITORY. 407 tableland may have formed a land-barrier during the beginning of the period, yet as it advanced portions of the tableland were submerged and buried underneath these deposits. The various divisions of the Carboniferous system as developed in the West of Scotland are given in the following table : '2. Red sandstones, shales, fireclays, and marls, with no workable coal-seams. 1. Numerous valuable coal-seams and 03 t= o O » es feet. In the Geological Survey map (sheet 14) they form a conspicuous feature, intervening between the Carboniferous Limestone and the Coal- measures along the east side of the field near Kilmaurs, but they thin away and appear as a narrow band between Kilwinning and the shore section at Salt- coats. It is interesting to note that a band of fine tuff, occupying the same horizon at the base of the Coal-measures, has recently been detected by Mr. Gunn in Arran, and a similar band has been found in the strip of Carboni- ferous rocks on the west side of Loch Ryan. No contemporaneous volcanic rocks occur on this horizon in the Lanarkshire basin. Though the massive sandstones of the Millstone Grit imply the accumula- tion of coarse sediment near the land, still the shales, ironstones, and impure limestones in this division have yielded plants, brachiopocls, crustaceans, fishes and other organisms, pointing to the existence of marine conditions. The Coal-measures overlying the Millstone Grit are divisible into two groups, a lower, containing numerous valuable coal-seams, ironstones, fire- clays, bituminous shales, sandy shales, and sandstones, and an upper group of red sandstones, fireclays, marls, and thin coal-seams, resting, probably with a slight unconformability, on the lower. The vertical section of the Clyde coal-field, published by the Geological Survey, shows eleven coal- seams and seven seams of ironstone in the lower group, in the central portion of the basin. (" Explanation " of sheet 23, one-inch Geological Survey Map, page 36.) Some of the seams rest on a bed of fireclay, representing the old land-surface, while others have no underclay ; the latter may be due to the drifting of vegetable matter. The red sandstone, group overlying the valuable mineral field in Lanarkshire extends up the valley of the Clyde from Cambuslang by Both well to Hamilton, being admirably seen in the quarries near Uddingston. These two groups are represented in the Ayrshire field. Quite recently Mr. Gunn has detected representatives of the Coal-measures in Arran, in tributary branches of the Sliddery Water, which have yielded two species of Carbonicola, and several species of fishes appearing to be characteristic of the Upper Carboniferous formations in Scotland, together with specimens of Lepidodendron Velt/ieimictJium, which, according to Mr. Kidston, has never yet been found above the Carboniferous Limestone. The shales, ironstones, and other sediments yielding these fossils are there associated with fine tuffs, coarse volcanic ash, and lavas, to which reference has already been made in connection with the volcanic zone at the base of the Coal-measures in Ayrshire. (Summary of Progress, Geological Survey, 1897, page 113.) From the constant succession of coal-seams, ironstones, sandstones, and shales throughout the Coal-measures it may be inferred that land conditions alternated with slight submergence during the accumulation of these deposits. That the irregular sinking of the Silurian tableland led to overlaps during the Coal-measure period is conclusively proved in the Sanquhar District, and near Loch Ryan. For in the former region both the Calciferous Sandstone and the Carboniferous Limestone are overlapped, and the Coal-measures rest unconforrnably on Silurian strata in the Sanquhar basin. Again, on the west shore of Loch Ryan the shales occurring in the strip of Carboniferous rocks, which there rest on the Silurian floor, have yielded plants characteristic of the Coal-measures. Reference must be made to the researches of Mr. Kidston, who, by means of the plants, has pointed out the existence of a great palaeontological break at the base of the Millstone Grit. A similar conclusion has been inde- pendently arrived at by Dr. Traquair from an examination of the fishes. Numerous dykes and sills pierce the Carboniferous strata of the Clyde territory. The dykes, which may be referred to the period of the plateau - eruptions of the Calciferous Sandstone period, consist mainly of trachyte or THE CLYDE TERRITORY. 411 andesite, and others of diabase, basalt, or dolerite. The intrusive sheets of that epoch likewise consist mainly of andesite or trachyte. Mr. Gunn has observed that in Bute and the Cumbraes the dykes of trachyte, basalt and dolerite sometimes pass into intrusive sheets. A prominent series of sills of a more basic character is largely developed along the northern belt of the Carboniferous Limestone series in the midland valley. These dolerite sills occur at Kilbarchan, Johnstone, and Paisley, and they extend at intervals from Milngavie by Kilsyth to Stirling, where one of these intrusive sheets forms a conspicuous feature in the Castle Eock. These basic sills are linked with the puy-eruptions of Carboniferous Limestone time by Sir A. Geikie. In the Ayrshire basin of Carboniferous strata there is an oval-shaped area of volcanic and sedimentary rocks which have been referred to the Permian period. They rest on the upper or red sandstone group of the Coal-measures. The margin of this Permian basin consists of sheets of lava and volcanic tuffs, interstratified with brick-red sandstones, and these are overlaid by false-bedded red sandstones. The lavas are well seen in the course of the river Ayr above Ballochmyle, and the red sandstones in the large quarries near Mauchline. Outside the Permian basin, numerous necks or vents, filled with volcanic agglomerate, pierce the Coal-measures which have been referred to this period of volcanic activity. Since the discovery of Khaetic and Liassic fossils in Arran, which has led to the grouping of the red sandstones in the south of Arran with the Triassic strata, it has been suggested that the Mauchline sandstones may be of the same age. The part of Arran lying to the south of a line drawn from Brodick to Blackwaterfoot on the west coast is occupied by a great development of false-bedded red sandstones, conglomerates and marls, which are now regarded as of Triassic age. This correlation is based on the discovery of Rhaetic fossils characteristic of the Avicula contorta-zone, and Lower Liassic fossils in masses of shale, marl, limestone, and sandstones, which do not now occur in place on the island. These portions of sedimentary strata are associated with fragmental volcanic materials, and various intrusive igneous rocks which now fill a great volcanic vent. Its site is about halfway between Brodick Bay on the east and Machrie Bay on the west, and to the south of the String Road which crosses the island from Brodick to Shiskine. This discovery was made by Messrs. Peach, Gunn, and Macconochie, in the course of the Geological Survey of that district. The occurrence of these sedi- mentary masses, one of which is acres in extent, points to the former existence in the Clyde area of Ehaetic and Lower Liassic strata which have now been swept away. The detailed mapping of the island by Mr. Gunn has con- clusively proved that the Triassic sandstones rest partly on the Coal-measures, partly on the Carboniferous Limestone series, and partly on the Old Bed Sandstone. Hence the apparent conformability is entirely deceptive. A patch of these rocks occurs in the north of the island at the Cock of Arran where the late Mr. James Thomson many years ago discovered pebbles with Carboniferous Limestone fossils in the Triassic conglomerate, though at the time he referred the conglomerate to the horizon of the Millstone Grit. In addition to the Rhaetic and Liassic strata in the volcanic vent near Shiskine, fragments of limestone and chert were found associated with the agglomerate by the Geological Survey. The limestone has yielded fossils of Cretaceous age, including Globigerina, Tertularict, Porosphaera globularis, and Inoceramus, thus pointing to the existence of Cretaceous strata in the Clyde area, which have been removed by denudation. It is obvious, there- fore, that this vent is of post-Cretaceous age, and may with probability be referred to the age of the necks of Tertiary time in Skye. This discovery likewise furnishes valuable evidence in favour of referring the granite mass in the north of Arran, and most of the intrusive, acid and basic igneous rocks in that island to the Tertiary period. 412 THE GEOLOGY OF In connection with this development of Tertiary igneous rocks in the island, allusion must be made to the series of basalt and dolerite dykes so largely developed in the Clyde area. They traverse all the geological formations in the region and some pierce the Arran granite, facts which lend support to the view that they belong to the grand outburst of volcanic activity in Tertiary time in the West Highlands. The phenomena connected with the glacial period in the Clyde terri- tory are of special interest, owing to the extent and variety of the deposits. There is evidence for maintaining that, during the period of maximum glaciation, this area experienced a conflict between the ice which radiated from the Highlands and from the Southern Uplands. The ice that radiated from the AVest Highlands moved partly down the Firth of Clyde and partly eastwards towards the Firth of Forth. The striae and the dispersal of the stones in the drift prove that part of the ice-stream from the Highlands invaded the Clyde basin and moved south east wards to Hamilton, where it was met by the ice that descended from the higher grounds in Upper Clydesdale. These two opposing ice-sheets were deflected eastwards to the German Ocean and westwards across the Renfrewshire Hills towards the Firth of Clyde. The ice from the Highlands also overflowed the low grounds of Ayrshire and coalesced with the stream that moved northwards from the hills of Galloway. No less interesting is the evidence furnished by the glaciation of Kintyre. That peninsula was overridden by ice which moved from the Firth of Clyde in a westerly direction — such deflection being due probably to the influence of the ice that radiated from the north of Ireland. A remarkable feature of the records of glacial time in the West of Scot- land is the great thickness of the superficial accumulations, which in one place in the Clyde basin reaches 357 feet. The numerous natural sections reveal the existence of stratified deposits in association with Boulder-clay, which is confirmed by evidence from bores. The data prove the occurrence of more than one Boulder-clay separated by sands, gravels, and silts. Professor James Geikie and the late Mr. Dugald Bell suggested that some of these interstratified deposits may have been lacustrine — the lake having been formed by the Loch Lomond glacier moving southwards across the Clyde at Bowling towards the Kilbarchan Hills, and the waters escaping by Loch- winnoch and Dairy to the Firth of Clyde. But apart from the evidence supplied by the great depth of the superficial accumulations, there is clear proof that the land must have stood relatively at a higher level in pre-glacial time than it does now. Dr. Croll contended that the thickness of stratified deposits found in the bores near New Kilpatrick in the valley of the Kelvin indicated a pre-glacial channel of that river. If his suggestion be correct, then the buried river-course must have entered the Clyde about 200 feet below the present sea-level. This evidence is confirmed by the buried river- channel that joins the Forth near Grangemouth about 260 feet below the sea. Mr. Cadell of Grange has recently obtained similar evidence in the case of the pre-glacial course of the river Almond, which must have entered the Forth about 100 feet below sea-level. Underneath a thick mass of Boulder- clay in Ayrshire, both at Woodhill quarry near Kilmaurs, and at Drummuir near Dreghorn, stratified beds occur, that have yielded elephant tusks, antlers of reindeer, arctic ostracods, and f oraminifera, together with several species of plants, including Ranunculus (tquatilis and Potamogeton. Mr. John Smith has traced over a wide tract in Ayrshire and as far inland as the Guelh Water near Cumnock, a thick series of inter-glacial sands and gravels up to a height of 900 feet. These are associated with shelly pebbly clay, which he regards as of marine origin. Again, from samples of Boulder-clay near Glasgow Mr. Joseph Wright obtained a large number of foraminifera which were determined by him. Further on the west coast of Kintyre, at Cleongart, dark silt or clay with THE CLYDE TERRITORY. 413 marine shells is overlain by 76 feet of Boulder-clay at a level of about 180 feet above the sea. In the basin of the Endrick draining into Loch Lomond, Mr. R. L. Jack mapped shelly Boulder-clay up to a level of 320 feet. He considered that the fragments of marine shells in the Boulder-clay had been derived from a pre-existing inter-glacial deposit, formed when the sea stood about 100 feet above its present level. Among the most interesting records of glacial time in the West of Scot- land are the Arctic shell-beds of the Firth of Clyde. They have been investigated and exhaustively described by Dr. Eobertson, Dr. Crosskey, and Mr. James Bennie, whose researches have proved the Arctic character of the fauna found in the marine clays. These deposits belong to the period of the 100-feet beach, though owing to denudation they occur now at lower levels. The younger Raised Beaches at 50-feet and 25-feet levels are well developed in the basin of the Clyde. From the deposits of the 25-feet terrace canoes have been exhumed which point to the existence of neolithic man along the shores of the estuary in post-glacial time. THE CRYSTALLINE SCHISTS OF THE HIGHLANDS. BY PETER MACNAIR. THE area occupied by the metamorphic rocks about to be described may be defined as that lying immediately N. of the great boundary fault which, crossing Scotland from shore to shore, with a N.E. and S.W. trend, divides the Highlands from the Lowlands geographically, and the Crystalline Schists from the Old Red Sandstone geologically. The position of this great line of demarcation has been more or less accurately fixed. It can be traced through Arran and Bute, thence from near Toward Castle to Innellau, and across the eastern point of Rosneath peninsula, and by Helensburgh across Loch Lomond northeastwards by way of Balmaha, Aberfoyle, Callander, and Comrie. The valley of the Clyde proper after traversing the Silurian rocks of the Southern Uplands and the later palaeozoic rocks of the midland valley eventually abuts against the great wall of crystalline schists forming the frontier Highlands near Helensburgh, where the Gareloch runs northwest- wards into them. Further on, Loch Long, Loch Goil, the Holy Loch, Loch Striven, Loch Fyne, and other sea-lochs trench deeply into the crystalline schists, exposing along their shores numerous sections of great value in unravelling the structure of this region. Above Helensburgh the Clyde receives at Dumbarton the waters of Loch Lomond, which drains part of the Highland area, and is the most easterly drainage system falling into the Clyde valley from the crystalline schists of the Highlands. It will, however, be well here to include the ground further east as far as Loch Tay, as the rocks there still occupy their normal positions, whereas along the Firth of Clyde, owing to a succession of earth- movements, the original sequence has been obscured and their physical structure complicated. As it is impossible to speak with certainty as to the physical structure, succession, or age, of the rocks forming the southern or marginal Highlands, it may be well to briefly sketch the history of opinion concerning them. In 18i9 Macculloch l pointed out for the first time the opposite directions of the dips in the schists of Cantyre, where the beds of micaceous schist on the eastern shore have an eastern dip, while those on the opposite side dip west- wards. Murchison 2 also at a later period refers to an anticlinal fold at Loch Eck. In 1860 Jamieson3 described in more detail the anticlinal axis observed by Macculloch and Murchison, correlating the argillaceous series of Bute with that of Loch Fyne, which he states arches over into an anticlinal axis, the more arenaceous rocks of Cowal forming the core of the anticline at i "Western Islands of Scotland," Macculloch, 1819, vol. ii., p. 288.

THE CRYSTALLINE SCHISTS OF THE HIGHLANDS. 415 Ben Capuill near Tighnabruaich. This he believed to be a true anticline of the bedding. The altered basic rocks he calls greenstones and points out their intrusive origin. In 1861 Murchison and Geikie 1 described certain sections along the margin of the southern Grampians with reference to the supposed succession of the rocks in northwest Sutherlandshire. They believed that the southern and central Highlands were overlaid by a great series of quartzites, limestones, and schists, the representatives of those in the northwest, and that they always bore the same relative position to one another, namely the quartzites at the base, followed by limestones, and the whole overlaid by the schists sup- posed to be of Silurian age. In another paper about the same date these authors maintained, in opposition to the views advanced by Sharpe, that the foliation of the Highland rocks generally coincided with or followed the original planes of sedimentary deposition. In the same year similar views to these were advanced by Harkness2 as to the rocks south of the Caledonian Canal. In 1863 the next contribution to the study of these rocks appeared from the pen of James Nicol,3 and was, in many respects, as I have elsewhere pointed out, the most far-seeing paper which has ever been written on the subject. He entirely discarded the hypothetical views of Murchison, Geikie, and Harkness. Taking a series of sections across the Highland frontier he noted the occurrence in them all of a regular order of clay-slates, grits, grey- wackes, and quartzites. He also remarked the reversal of dip from S.E. to N.W. as he proceeded from west to east across the Highland frontier, and arrived at the conclusion that the slates along the Firth of Clyde were in their normal position overlying the schists of the interior, w^hereas these further east as in Perthshire, with a N.E. .dip and thus apparently under- lying the schists of the interior, did not really do so, their position being really due to a reversal of the beds. This reading is, however, apparently incorrect, the Perthshire slates being really in their normal position, while they are reversed along the Firth of Clyde. Nicol also pointed out the existence of a highly contorted belt on both sides of Loch Long, and strenu- ously maintained that the central Highland quartzites belonged to a horizon higher than the schists further south, and did not underlie them as had been maintained by Murchison and Geikie. In 1891, in a Presidential Address to the Geological Society, Sir A. Geikie 4 gave a table of the Highland rocks, the work of the Geological Survey, and placed the Central Highland quartzite at the top, and the phyllites and grey- wackes of the Pass of Leny at the base of the series. Independently a similar succession was advocated the same year by Henry Coates and the author of this paper. In 1896 the author5 arranged the clastic rocks of the Highlands iii descending order as follows : — Upper Arenaceous zone, Upper Argillaceous zone, Middle Arenaceous zone, Loch Tay Limestone zone, Lower Arenaceous zone, and Lower Argillaceous zone. The principal lithological features and geographical position of each zone was first given, then a series of sections illustrative of their succession and physical structure in Highland Perthshire, and it was pointed out that along the shores of the Firth of Clyde the zones forming the frontier Highlands have been bent into a deep synclinal fold with a reversal of dip. In 1897, in a Memoir upon the Geology of Cowal,6 published by the Geological Survey, a series of schist-zones, beginning at the great boundary 1 "The Altered Rocks of the Western Islands of Scotland and the Northwestern and Central Highlands," Quart.

Survey, 1897. 416 THE CRYSTALLINE SCHISTS fault and traversing that region in a northeast and southwest direction, are described. The existence of the anticline first noticed by Macculloch and Murchison and then in detail by Jamieson, as an anticline of the bedding, is recognised, with this important difference, that it is looked upon as a great arch of foliation, and not of bedding as maintained by the earlier geologists. From a comparison of the different schist-zones on each side of the anticline of foliation the conclusion is arrived at that it cannot be also an anticline of the bedding, but that probably it is an original syncline of bedding traversed by an anticline of foliation ; a reversion to the view originally maintained by Sharpe — that the folds of the foliation in the Scottish Highlands were entirely independent of the bedding. In 1897 the writer1 further developed the views he had already published in the Geological Magazine. The Argillaceous zone along the Highland frontier is the oldest of the schist-zones, and is in its normal position in Perthshire. Westwards, however, towards the Clyde its position becomes steeper and steeper, till in the area of the Firth it becomes reversed, having been pushed backwards and inwards upon the main mass of the Central Highlands. In a series of papers lately contributed to the Geological Society of Glasgow,2 the writer has again more fully expressed his views regarding the structure and succession of the schists of the Southern Highlands as summarized in the following pages. It has long been recognised that the metamorphic rocks of the Highlands traverse that area in bands or zones having a general N.E. and S.W. trend roughly parallel with the great boundary fault. The Lower Argillaceous zone abuts against the younger Old Red Sandstone rocks to the south, but separated from it by the boundary fault. Outcropping at the base of the schist- series of the southern Highlands it stretches across the frontier Highlands from sea to sea. In Perthshire it may be seen at Birnam, Logiealmond, Comrie, Callander, and Aberfoyle ; in Dumbartonshire at Luss, Row, and Cove ; and in Argyllshire at Kirn and Dunoon, crossing the Toward peninsula to Loch Striven, whence it can be traced through Bute from Kames Bay to Ettrick Bay. The principal rocks of this zone are variously coloured phyllites, including black, blue, purple, grey, green, and buff, with intercalated bands of grit, greywacke, and thin limestones, and they frequently show a finely banded structure referable to their original bedding. Differences of texture may also be observed, more or less gritty bands being often inter-laminated with bands of extremely fine material. Some of these grit bands attain a con- siderable thickness, such as the Leny and Aberfoyle grits, and the Bull Rock greywacke. Towards the east, as at Birnam, Logiealmond, Comrie, and Callander, this zone of argillaceous rocks is not so highly metamorphosed as on the Firth of Clyde, having more the appearance of a clay-slate. In many instances, as in the quarries at Logiealmond, Aberuchill, and the foot of Loch Lubnaig, the bedding is distinctly folded, the folds being crossed by planes of cleavage. Rarely, however, can any folding or crumpling in the cleavage- planes themselves be detected so that the rocks might here be more fitly called clay-slates than phyllites. Towards the Firth of Clyde there is an increasing development of mica along the cleavage-planes, and at Dunoon there is evidence of more intense metamorphism, secondary foliation-planes being developed, while the cleavage is often violently twisted or folded and the folds crossed by ausweichung or strain-slip. One of the most interesting features in the Lower Argillaceous zone is the evidence it affords of the behaviour of these beds during the process of plication and crushing. An examination of the arenaceous beds with which these 1 Trans. Perth. Soc. Nat. Science, vol. ii., 1897, p. 166. 2 Trans. Geol. Soc. of Glasgow, vol. xi., part 2, 1900, p. 273. OF THE HIGHLANDS. 417 phyllites have been interstratified, and of the Arenaceous zone which succeeds them to the north, generally reveals the planes of foliation and shear to be roughly coincident with the bedding, though there are numerous exceptions. In many places, such as in the Dunoon section, the foliation-planes in the phyllites have been themselves folded, and that oftener than once. This structure is only explicable on the supposition that the argillaceous beds must have been driven en masse between the more massive arenaceous beds with which they were interstratified, the latter having simply a rough foliation developed along their original bedding-planes, while the argillaceous beds were twisted into innumerable folds with a much more perfect foliation. Immediately N.W. of this Lower Argillaceous zone another broad band of rocks, with a more or less developed foliation occurs. Because of the predominance in it of coarsely fragmental materials it is here termed the Lower Arenaceous zone, varying from exceedingly fine-grained light and dark greywackes to massive grits with pebbles often an inch in diameter. These pebbles generally consist of quartz or felspar set in a finely comminuted felspathic matrix. Associated with these rocks occurs a group known as "the green beds" because of their marked greenish colour. They generally show a more or less well-developed schistose structure and are characterised by the presence of granular epidote, chlorite, and dark green or brown biotite. That they are of fragmental origin seems undoubted, but the conditions under which they were originally deposited are uncertain. When first mapped by the officers of the Survey they were supposed to be of pyroclastic origin, the green colouring matter being looked upon as similar to the fine dust of volcanic tuff, but the complete absence of interbedded lava-flows, or of any pebbles referable to igneous rock, throws doubt upon such an origin. Like the phyllites they immediately succeed they exhibit a gradually increasing metamorphism from east to west, the grits and greywackes becoming more highly schistose. Geographically this Lower Arenaceous zone may be traced from St. Fillans, in Perthshire, through Ben Vorlich, Ben Ledi, and Ben Venue, giving rise to the characteristic scenery of the Trossachs ; thence along the shores of Loch Lomond below Rowardennan and Inverbeg into Cowal, where it may be seen at the head of the Gareloch, and along Loch Eck, where it gives rise to a peculiarly rugged type of scenery. Above the group just described occurs one of the best marked zones of all the schists seen in the southern Highlands, that known as the Loch Tay limestone, the typical rock of which is a crystalline, black, grey, or mottled limestone, generally showing distinct crystals of calcite. With it are associated beds of calcareous mica-schist which often appear to split the limestone up into several bands. It is well exposed along the shores of Loch Tay, and can be traced westwards along Glen Dochart to near Crianlarich, and thence into Argyllshire at Ballimore, near Strachur, in Glendaruel, and near Kilfinan. Upon this horizon occur massive beds of sheared basic rocks which accompany the limestone in a remarkable manner from E. to W. across the whole of the southern Highlands. Above this zone comes a band of mica-schists and quartz-schists character- ised by the abundance of their garnets, sometimes in such quantities as to form the larger bulk of the rock. This group which has been named the garnetiferous schist-zone, forms a tolerably well-marked horizon immediately above the Loch Tay limestone, and can be traced along the mountains N. of Loch Tay into Glen Dochart, and thence into Argyllshire, where it accompanies the limestone which it apparently overlies. A well-marked group of phyllites, schistose-quartzites, and graphite- schists, the Upper Argillaceous zone succeed this. Like those of the Lower Argillaceous zone, the rocks of this zone seem to have been driven between 2D 418 THE CRYSTALLINE SCHISTS the more massive beds, and to have suffered intense metamorphism, the foliation-planes having been folded and twisted to an almost inconceivable extent. This is well seen in the mountains N. of Loch Taj and along Loch Fyne. Geographically this zone may be traced through the summits of Ben Lawers, Craig Na Calliach, and on to the high ground separating Glen Lochy and Glen Dochart. At Tyndrum it is faulted against the central Highland quartzites, whence it runs N.E. towards Loch Lyon, and it is also well exposed along both the E. and W. shores of Loch Fyne. Succeeding the Upper Argillaceous zone and covering a great "part of the central Highlands there is a group of quartzites and limestones here named the Upper Arenaceous zone, because of the predominance in it of the quartzites. It can be seen in the neighbourhood of Blair Atholl, the limestones being well exposed in Glen Tilt, whence they can be traced westwards through Schiehallion, Glen Lyon, the Black Mount, and Dalmally, to the shores of Loch Awe. Associated with these different zones are other schists which have origin- ally been intruded into the sedimentary schists as sills of igneous rock, prior to the general metamorphism of the region. These have suffered along with the clastic rocks, and are now known as epidiorites and hornblende schists. A remarkable development of them is to be found along the horizon of the Loch Tay limestone, and in the schists immediately above and below it. Though they now in many instances present a perfectly developed schistose structure, they have originally been igneous rocks of a basic character. Ser- pentines and chlorite-schists, both, probably, of igneous origin, occur here and there throughout the area. The following table gives the principal schist-zones, with their character- istic rocks. For reasons to be afterwards shown it is probable that the order given in the table is a descending one, the newest rocks being placed at the top, the oldest at the bottom : c • i— t to • — f-t O a O o — ft60 ,- Oj o a O 02 ^4 tJO 03 -?• H; ?- 03 rfi T3 •£?

As a prelude to the description of the Leadhills district, brief reference must be made to the geological structure of the classic region of Moffat which embraces the type-sections described by Professor Lapworth, in proof of the sequence and relations of the graptolite-shales of the central part of the tableland. The Moffat black shale series forms narrow boat-shaped areas, being brought to the surface along sharp anticlinal folds, in the midst of the younger Tarannon rocks. From the preceding table it will be seen that the members of the Moffat series have been grouped in three divisions : Glenkiln, Hartfell, and Birkhill ; corresponding to the Upper Llandeilo, Caradoc, and Llandovery rocks of Wales respectively, the whole sequence not exceeding 300 feet in thickness. Where denudation has proceeded far enough to expose strata underlying the Glenkiln shales, these consist of Radiolarian cherts and fine tuffs of Lower Llandeilo and Arenig age. The famous Dobb's Linn section at the head of Moffatdale, clearly shows the divisions and structural relations of the Moffat series. When the Moffat series is traced northwards on successive anticlines, towards the northern margin of the central belt of Tarannon rocks, the subdivisions of the Birk- hill shales (Llandovery) disappear and are replaced by coarser sediments. Hence at certain localities it is not easy to trace with precision the northern limit of the Tarannon belt. In the districts of Abington and Leadhills there is a remarkable develop- ment of Arenig, Llandeilo, and Caradoc rocks, of greater thickness than their representatives in the Moffat region. A remarkable feature of these northern districts is the occurrence of Arenig volcanic rocks, comprising lavas, agglomerates, and tuffs exposed in the cores of many anticlinal folds. They are immediately overlain by fine mudstones containing abundant hingeless brachiopods (see list), and these in turn by red, dark, and gray cherts charged with Radiolaria (see list). Next in order come the Glenkiln - Hartfell shales yielding their characteristic graptolites of the Moffat region. This sequence is exposed in various folds in the districts of Abington, Lead- hills, and Saiiquhar. Part of the Lower Caradoc rocks of the northern districts is represented by grey wackes, shales, and fossiliferous conglomerates (Duntercleuch, Wallace's Cast, and Kilbucho, see list), while the Upper Caradoc rocks are represented mainly by the Lowther Shales which, to the east of the Clyde basin, include the fossiliferous limestones and conglomerates of Wrae, Glencotho, and Winkston. This change in the type of sedimenta- tion of the Upper Caradoc rocks is also observable in that of the Lower Hartfell and Glenkiln black shales (Lower Caradoc and Upper Llandeilo) when the latter are traced northwards to the margin of the tableland. These in turn are replaced by coarse sediments and the graptolites of the Glenkiln group occur in thin dark seams, interleaved in greywackes and shales.

This district embraces an area in the extreme northwest part of the table- land, extending along the shore from Girvan to the mouth of Glen App, and inland to the village of Barr in the valley of the Stinchar. The geological structure of the area south of the Stinchar closely resembles that already described in the Sanquhar and Leadhills districts ; for there we find a sequence from the Arenig volcanic rocks and overlying Radiolarian cherts and graptolitic mudstones with Glenkiln graptolites upwards to the greywackes, shales and conglomerates of Llandeilo-Caradoc age. (Portandea and Currarie north of Glen App.) North of the Stinchar valley, however, the sequence is wholly different. One of the striking features of this northern area is the remarkable develop- ment of Arenig volcanic rocks near Ballantrae, comprising diabase and diabase porphyrite lavas, agglomerates and tuffs. The age of this volcanic series is clearly defined by the occurrence in it of black shales and cherty mudstones yielding graptolites of Lower or Middle Arenig age. North of the Stinchar valley they are overlain by a great development of Radiolarian cherts (Arenig and Lower Llandeilo) and other sediments. The lavas, tuffs and overlying sediments are pierced by various intrusive igneous rocks, including serpentine, gabbro, dolerite, diorite, and granite. Of special importance also is the marked unconformability that separates the rocks just described from the overlying sedimentary series of Girvan. For the massive conglomerates (Kirkland and Benan) at the base of the latter series not only rest on the eroded surfaces of the volcanic and plutonic rocks, but are mainly composed of materials derived from the underlying platform. The general succession and subdivisions of the Girvan series, as worked out by Professor Lap worth, are given in the following table, from which it will be seen that there is a marked divergence in the lithological characters of the strata from those in the Central Moffat region. In most of the sub- divisions there is a great development of coarse sediments consisting of con- glomerates, grits, greywackes, flagstones, mudstones, and shales, implying deposition near land and in comparatively shallow water. As might be expected from the foregoing conditions the Girvan series yields organic remains in profusion, on certain horizons. Of special importance are the bands of graptolite shales, yielding many of the zonal forms of the Moffat region, which enabled Professor Lapworth to correlate the Silurian divisions of the Girvan and Moffat areas. (See general Table, pp. 424, 425.) The list of fossils from the Girvan area, exclusive of the graptolites, has been compiled from all obtainable sources, and is, in large measure, based on the general list and on Mrs. Gray's list of fossils published in the Geological Survey Memoir on " The Silurian Rocks of Scotland." Special thanks are due to Mrs. Gray for supplying a note of recent additions to her list, which now appear for the first time. Want of space has prevented the insertion of more than one or two localities for each fossil. When two localities are given, they represent the lowest and highest horizons for each form. In this list each division of the Silurian system is represented by a capital letter, each sub-division by a figure. IN THE SOUTH OF SCOTLAND. 429 TABLE OF SILURIAN STRATA, GIRVAN. o o 0> 1.

To the north of the margin of the Silurian tableland and within the area occupied by the Old Red Sandstone, there are several inliers of Upper Silurian strata, ranging from Wenlock to Downtonian time, which have been exposed at the surface by the folding and denudation of the younger Palaeozoic rocks. These may be grouped as follows : 1. The inlier near Lesmahagow (L in fossil list). 2. The inlier of the Hagshaw Hills (H in fossil list). 3. The inlier at Carmichael (C in fossil list). 4. The inlier south of Tinto. Of the foregoing areas, by far the most important is that near Lesinaha- gow, where the strata are arranged in a gentle anticline, only the northern limb of which is preserved. The strata are admirably exposed in the Logan Water, Birkenhead Burn, and adjoining streams. The passage-beds, comprising conglomerates and sandstones, with green and red mudstones, overlying comformably the Ludlow rocks, and formerly regarded as the base of the Old Red Sandstone, are now grouped with the Silurian strata. They have yielded a fauna consisting of ostracods, phyllo- carid crustaceans, eurypterids, and fishes ; some of the fishes being identical with those in the underlying Ludlow rocks. The various subdivisions adopted by the Geological Survey are given in the following table x : 1 Memoir of the Geological Survey, "The Silurian Rocks of Scotland," p. 568.

N. PEACH, F.R.S. THE area under consideration is one in which there is an almost unbroken succession of rocks recording continuous deposition from Lower Arenig up to the close of Downtonian time — in fact nearly the whole of the Silurian period. During this prodigious lapse of time trilobites became the most prominent marine arthropods, the}7 culminated in the Caradoc period, waned during Upper Silurian and Devonian time, while their last lingering remains finally disappeared within the Carboniferous period. As will be seen in the sequel the trilobite remains found in the Silurian rooks of the area, and more especially of the Girvan region, strongly bear out this conclusion. LOWER SILURIAN. During the deposition of the Arenig and Lower Llandeilo rocks of the area, which appear to have accumulated in an open sea free from land-borne sedi- ment during pauses of volcanic activity, the conditions appear to have been so unfavourable to trilobite life that not a vestige of their remains has been recorded from rocks of these horizons. Towards the close of Upper Llandeilo time, however, when earth-movements had reared these pelagic strata above the surface over a great part of the area, trilobites appeared in profusion among the denizens of the shore, and their remains are numerous and well- preserved in the rocks representing the finer sediments derived from the newly emerged land. In the Girvan district the chief horizons in which they occur, -beginning at the lowest strata and working upwards, are as follows : The Stinchar limestone, proved by graptolite evidence to be near the top of the Upper Llandeilo rocks, occurs between the massive Kirkland and Benan conglomerates, and, together with its associated mudstones probably representing a pause in the uplift, has yielded 18 species belonging to 14 genera, the forms being of Caradoc facies as shown by R. Etheridge, Jnr. ' The next horizon is that of the Balclatchie mudstones overlying the great Benan conglomerate. From the graptolites yielded by the associated beds, which are those of the intermediate zone between the Glen kiln and Hartfell subdivisions, these beds must lie somewhere near the base of the Caradoc rocks of the region. These fine green mudstones have been looked upon by some observers as volcanic tuffs, but, like the Benan conglomerate itself, they are evidently only the ordinary detritus from the rocks of the ridged up Arenig volcanic group. They are exposed at Dow Hill and Ardmillan Braes i "A Monograph of the Silurian Fossils of the Girvan District in Ayrshire," vol. i. By H. A. Nicholson and R. Etheridge, Jur., 1880. 446 THE TRILOBITES OF to the south of Girvan as well as at the typical locality of Balclatchie. The mudstones have yielded the most abundant and best preserved remains of trilobites obtained from the Girvan region, belonging to 31 species falling under 18 genera, the facies being on the whole similar to that of the forms obtained from the Stinehar limestone. A third horizon from which trilobites have been obtained is of Middle Caradoc age, the beds being found at Whitehouse Bay and Shalloch Mill on the coast south of Girvan, where they consist of calcareous shales. These have yielded a special group of forms among which are Agnostus perrugatus, Bohemilla sp., Cydopyge armata, 0. rediviva, Dindymene Cordai, and Dionide Lapworthi. The next horizon lies at or near the top of the Caradoc subdivision and comprises the highest beds of the Lower Silurian series in Girvan. They are the well-known mudstones of Drummuck, almost identical in character with those of Balclatchie, and the prolific "Starfish Bed" of Threave, both the localities being in the inlier of Silurian rocks north of the Girvan valley. From these beds 16 species belonging to 12 genera have been obtained. Among these occur Agnostus agnostiformis and Remopleurides Colbii, the last surviving remains of the two great Cambrian families of the Agnostidae and Oleuidae respectively, no member of which is known to pass up into Upper Silurian rocks. The Lower Silurian family of Trinucleidae is repre- sented by Trinucleus seticornis and its variety T. Bucklandi, typical Upper Bala forms, and Ampyjo rostratus, and Dionide Lapworthi, being only known in the Girvan region from the Whitehouse horizon. This is also the last appear- ance of any member of the family. The other genera which occur in the Lower Silurian rocks of Girvan and the southwest of Scotland, but which do not pass up into the Upper Silurian horizons, are as follows : Asaphus, Ogygia, Cydopyge (Aeglina), Stygina, Bronteopsis, Barrandia, Sdlteria, Bohemilla, Deiphon, Sphaerexochus, Cybele, .and Dindymene. Outside the Girvan area the only other Lower Silurian rocks that have yielded trilobite remains are those of Duntercleugh and Snar Water near Leadhills, Wallace's Cast on the Wandel Water near Abington, and Culter Water and Kilbucho further to the east. The rocks in which they occur are all of similar type, conglomerates and coarse grits with calcareous nodules, associated with calcareous shales. That the rocks at the different localities are on one horizon is shown by the trilobite remains which they have yielded, numbering 11 species belonging to 8 genera, which are all of Lower Caradoc facies and very similar to those from the Balclatchie mudstones of Girvan. The horizon is proved to be probably that of the Dicranog raptus Clingani sub-zone of the Hartfell group from the relation of the conglomerates to the black shales of the neighbourhood where they occur. UPPER SILUEIAN. Returning to the Girvan area, the lowest members of the Llandovery rocks, viz., the shelly mudstones of Mulloch Hill and Rough Neuk, localities to the northeast of Girvan, have yielded the remains of 9 genera and 12 species of trilobites. The next horizon is found at Woodland Point, south of Girvan, in beds belonging to the Monograptus gregarius zone of the Birkhill group. These rocks have yielded 14 species belonging to 9 genera, many of the forms being common with those from the Mulloch Hill beds and the horizon next to be considered. The next horizon is that of the Rastrites maxirnus sub-zone, the highest of the Birkhill group and the top of the Llandovery rocks. The beds are exposed at Penkill and in the Bargany Pond Burn to the south of the Girvan Water between Girvan and Dailly. The beds there have yielded J16 species belonging to 9 genera. A few trilobites have been obtained from -a somewhat higher horizon, Tarannon, in Penkill Burn. THE SILURIAN ROCKS OF SOUTHWEST SCOTLAND. 447 From the rocks of Blair and Knockgardner between Girvan and Straiton, which represent a still higher horizon, either at the top of the Tarannons or the base of the Wenlock series, the following species have been obtained : Catymene Blumenbachi, Encrinurus punctatus and its variety E, arenaceus, Phacops Downingiae, P. Stokesi, and Proetus Stokesi. The genera of trilobites found in the Upper Silurian rocks of Girvan, all of which made their appearance in Lower Silurian times and occur in those rocks at Girvan, are, Acidaspis, Bronteus, Calymene, Cheirurus, Encrinurus, Harpes, Ulaenus with its sub-genera Dysplanus and Bumastus, Lichas, Phacops, Proetus, and Staurocephalus. The genera Homalonotus and Phillipsia occur in the Lower Silurian rocks of the area, the former at Duntercleuch, and the latter represented by Phillipsia parabola at Threave. Though these genera are not represented in the Upper Silurian rocks of Girvan they pass up else- where, the former to the Devonian, and the latter as far as the Carboniferous. Beyond the Girvan area the only band of Upper Silurian rocks that has yielded trilobites is found among the Wenlock-Ludlow rocks of the Hagshaw Hill inlier of Lanarkshire. The locality is near High Broomerside on the Podowrin Burn, a tributary of the Douglas Water, and the strata consist of shales. These have yielded to Mr. Macconochie Calymene Blumenbachi, Encrinurus sp., Ulaenus sp., Phacops sp., and Proetus Stokesi, a group almost identical with that from Blair and Straiton in the Girvan region. It will be seen from the above that the distribution of the trilobite remains is similar to that which obtains elsewhere in Britain and Europe generally. The whole facies is European, even down to the forms that occur in the Stinchar limestone, though the corals of that zone were shown by Nicholson to be of American facies,1 and the peculiar American gasteropod genera Maclurea and Ophileta which occur in it have only been found else- where in Europe in the Durness limestone. The forms have a nearer affinity with those of Bohemia than those of Scandinavia and Eussia, and it is evident that they belong to the same great geographical and biological province. The constant association of trilobite remains with mudstones and shales in the area under consideration seems to point to muddy sea-bottoms not far from shore having been their favourite habitat, a fortunate circum- stance, since it favoured the preservation of their moults and their dead bodies for our study. i Op. cit., p. 95. THE CRUSTACEA OF THE SILURIAN ROCKS OF SOUTHWEST SCOTLAND. BY B. N. PEACH, F.R.S. PHYLLOCAEIDA. THE phyllocarids are represented by Caryocaris Wrighti in the Arenig rocks of Balcreuchan Port and Bennane Head near Ballantrae, and of Ravensgill near Abington, the form being also found elsewhere in rocks of this horizon. The Caradoc rocks of Girvan have yielded two genera and species, viz. Pinnof-aris Lapworthi, which occurs in the Balclatchie sandstones at their base, and Solenocaris solenoides in the Drummuck and Threave beds near their upper limit. In the Tarannon rocks of Blackwood Head, near Dailly, Discinocaris gigas has been found. This form occurs at Moffat in the Birkhill shales at a somewhat lower horizon along with D. browniana and Peltocaris aptychoides. These two latter forms have been recorded from the Birkhill shales, outcrops between Portpatrick and the Mull of Galloway, and reappear along with these shales in Ireland on the opposite shore of the Channel at Coalpit Bay, near Donaghadee. A form doubtfully referred to Peltocaris has been recorded by Mrs. Gray from Penkill in the Girvan area. The genus Aptychopsis has not yet been recorded from the Girvan area, nor from the Wenlock rocks of the northwest margin of the southern uplands, but two species have been recorded from the Tarannon and Wenlock rocks of Burrow Head to the south of Wigtown. All the forms above enumerated seem to have associated with graptolites, as they are mostly found embedded in graptolite-shales, and seem like the graptolites to have flourished best at or near the limit of sedimentation. The genus Ceratiocaris is the prevailing phyllocarid form in the Wenlock- Ludlow rocks of Lesmahagow and the Hagshaw Hills, no fewer than nine species having been recorded from these beds. They occur in such numbers in certain bands that they have given the name to a very important sub-zone of the Ludlow rocks of the Lesmahagow inlier, viz. that from which the Ludlow fish- and scorpion-remains have been obtained. It is from these beds that the specimen showing abdominal appendages described by R. Etheridge, Jnr.,1 and a considerable amount of the material which is figured by Jones and Woodward in their monograph2 was obtained. The species of this genus seem to have frequented the muddy bottoms where slow deposition was going on, for their remains are most numerous in certain finely-laminated calcareous beds which are comparatively free from the remains of lamellibranchs and gasteropods which crowd many of the less finely -laminated beds of the Lesmahagow inlier. In the 1 Memoirs Geol Surv. Scot. " Explanation " of Sheet 23, p. 93. 2 Palaeont. Soc. Monograph on "British Palaeozoic Phyllocarida," part i. THE SILURIAN ROCKS OF SOUTHWEST SCOTLAND. 449 Wenlock rocks of the southeast border of Scotland their remains are often found associated with such graptolites as Monograptus priodon, J/. Flemingii, and Retiolitet Geinitzianus, and witli Orthoceratites, in thinly- laminated dark shales which weather into layers as fine as writing paper. In their Monograph on the British Fossil Phyllocarida Professor Jones and Dr. Woodward make a new genus, Calyptocaris,1 to include the form recorded by R. Etheridge, Jnr., as Dithyrocaris (?) striata? which was obtained by the Geological Survey from Carmichael Burn near Carmichael Manse, to the north of Tinto in Lanarkshire. In 1873, at the time of the publication of the " Explanation " of Sheet 23, these beds were considered by the Geological Survey to belong to the Lower Old Red Sandstone formation,3 but their subsequent work has shown them to be the uppermost zones of the Ludlow shales, which, together with the Downtonian rocks, make their appearance upon the back of a denuded isoclinal fold in the midst of Lower Old Red strata.4 OSTRACODA. In the Girvan area ostracoda have been found on several horizons. The lowest horizon is that of the Stinchar limestone which at Aldons lime- works near Pinmore has yielded five species of the genus Cy there and one species of Primitia which Professor Rupert Jones considers to be of eminently Lower Silurian type. From the Middle Caradoc shales of Whitehouse Bay Mrs. Gray has obtained the following forms — Aparchites leperditioides, A. subovatus, Beyrichia impar, Cypridina Grayae, Primitia elongata, var. nuda, P. girvanensis, P. Grayae, P. Krausei, P. mundula, var. fimbriata, P. mundula, var. Kloedeniana, P. ulrichiana, and Sulcuna praeurrens. In the uppermost Caradoc rocks of Threave is the first appearance of the genus Beyrichia^ represented by B. comma, and the common Upper Silurian form B. Kloedeni. In the Upper Silurian rocks of Girvan and Straiten, in the Bargany Pond Burn, in shales at the top of the Llandovery Rocks, a variety of Beyrichia Kloedeni occurs, and the Wenlock rocks of Straiten have yielded the familiar forms Beyrichia Kloeden ?', B. (Entomis) impendens, and Entomis globulosa. In the main it would appear that these early entomostraca seem to have frequented the same kind of sea-bottom as that sought out by the trilobites, as their remains are obtained from the same localities and the same beds. In areas outside that of Girvan entomostraca swarm in some of the Wenlock-Ludlow beds of the Lesmahagow and Hagshaw inliers of Lanark- shire, but they are restricted to one or two species, Beyrichia Kloedeni and one of its varieties being the principal forms. A species of Entomis also occurs. A species of Beyrichia is rare in the Downtonian fish-beds. CIRRIPEDIA. Two species of Turrilepas have been found in the Lower Silurian rocks of Girvan at Balclatchie, Whitehouse, and Drummuck, and an unnamed species- from the Newlands beds in the Llandovery rocks. 1 Palaeontolographical Soc., vol. liii., p. 183, pi. xviii., fig. 7, 1899. 2 Memoirs Geol. &urr.

LAPWORTH, F.R.S., Birmingham University. THE Silurian strata of the Basin of the Firth of Clyde contain some of the richest graptolite-bearing deposits in the world, and the Graptolites which they afford include examples of all the known families of this group of fossils. Researches carried on in the region of the Southern Uplands of Scotland (a portion of which lies within the limits of the Basin of the Clyde) first demonstrated the reliability of Graptolites as " zone fossils " for unravelling the sequence of the British Lower Palaeozoic deposits : and within the last thirty years these fossils have been keenly studied by foreign geologists and palaeontologists in Scandinavia, France, Bohemia, Belgium, Canada, the United States, etc. In these countries, as in Britain, their first-rate importance as aids in working out the geology of the older stratified rocks has long been admitted and utilized. Geologists owe it to the Graptolites that they are now able to divide the Ordovician and Silurian strata into successive chronological " life zones " corresponding with those demonstrated by means of the Ammonites for the Jurassic sediments more than half a century ago, and to parallel satisfactorily the strata containing them in Britain with the equivalent deposits in Europe and America. The region of the Southern Uplands of Scotland — of which the basin of the Upper Clyde forms a part — is the type region for these fossils in Britain from the stratigraphical point of view. The recent Memoir of the Geological Survey ("The Silurian Rocks of Britain," vol. i., 1899) gives an admirable and detailed account of the distribution of Graptolites in the southwest of Scotland, and of the geology of the Southern Uplands. To this work the reader is referred. Graptolites are especially abundant in the Silurian rocks of the basin of the Upper Clyde at the localities of Wanlockhead and the Leadhills. Here they constitute the predominant fossils of the district, and are prac- tically confined to certain black shale bands which run through the country along the strike of the beds. They are also present, in less abund- ance, however, in the Silurian strata of the coastal district of Girvan ; but here they are often associated with crowds of other fossils — Brachiopods, Trilobites, Cephalopods, etc., and are more generally distributed throughout the entire succession. In the Guide Book issued for the members of the British Association at its last meeting in Glasgow in 1876 ("Catalogue of Western Scottish Fossils," J. Armstrong, J. Young, and D. Robertson) four plates by the writer of figures of the more characteristic Scottish Graptolites were included. Figures of the common Scottish forms have also been published elsewhere. See for example the Proceedings of the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club* Appendix, 1876-1877, and the plates in the Survey Memoir, 1899, cited above. GRAPTOLITES. 455 The following Catalogue gives the names of the species of Graptolites hitherto recognised in the Silurian strata of the West of Scotland ; and the appended Bibliography embraces the titles of those works and papers which deal with the description and illustration of these Scottish forms, or with their local or general geological distribution. The localities for the various Graptolite species are arranged in the following order : 1. Girvan and Ballantrae district. 2. Currarie and Stinchar district. 3. Wanlockhead district of the Upper Clyde basin. When the localities belong to different districts they are separated by a hyphen. The letters N. and S. in brackets ( ) refer to the northern and southern portions of the long section in Penwhapple Glen, Girvan district. The geological range of each species is indicated by the initial letter of the formation in which it occurs being placed after the name in heavy type.

Memoir of the GeoL Survey of the U. K. THE OLD RED SANDSTONE OF THE CLYDE AREA. BY J. G. GOODCHILD, F.G.S. THE rocks usually classed under the general name of the Old Eed Sandstone in Scotland consist of four separate formations, three of which are well represented within the basin of the Clyde. These three are widely separated from each other in time, and are linked together chiefly because they collectively occupy a geological position intermediate between that of the Silurian rocks below them and the Carboniferous rocks above. In addition to that they may be said to have had a common origin, seeing that they present various types of rocks formed under continental conditions ; in which respect they differ from the strata of marine origin which occur above and below them. The key to their common characteristics is to be found in the fact that they were all deposited during a period of prolonged terrestrial disturbances during which movements of upheaval predominated, and maintained for long periods at a time climatal conditions of exceptional aridity. Of the three subdivisions occurring in the basin of the Clyde the lowest has lately been classed as a member of the Silurian rocks. Under the name of the Lower Old Eed Sandstone its geological position was accurately described by Murchison and Geikie. But when the fact came to be known that a newer Old Eed lay unconformably upon it and was in turn uncon- formably succeeded by the true Upper Old Eed, it became evident that some more distinctive name was needed for the lowest strata of the group, and this was more especially the case when palaeontological evidence rendered it clear thatjhe Orcadian rocks were the true Middle Old Eed. I therefore proposed to call these oldest rocks the Lanarkian rocks, with reference to the county in which they are typically represented. When, however, the officers of *the Geological Survey re-examined these rocks, and it was found that they appeared to graduate downward into the Silurian rocks, and that they were linked on to them further by containing an ichthyic fauna having the same facies as that found in the associated strata of Silurian age, the name Downtonian was proposed instead, and is now coming into use. The Downtonian rocks consist of alternating beds of sandstone and mud- stone, characterised by reddish and greenish-grey colours, with which are associated one or more bands of fine conglomerate, whose predominant con- stituents are small pebbles of quartzite, with little or no intermixture of pebbles of greywacke. These strata are interstratified with others of the petrographical types prevalent in the underlying Ludlow rocks. No traces of any volcanic rocks have yet been found in them. The entire aspect of the group is exactly what might be expected in the case of strata formed under transitional conditions when the area in which they occur was gradually passing from an area of subsidence to one of 462 THE OLD RED SANDSTONE elevation. The reader will find this subject, and others connected with the origin of the Old Red rocks in general, discussed at some length in the Pro- ceedings of the Royal Physical "Society, vol. xiii., pp. 291-299. Considerable interest attaches to this Lanarkian Old Red now that an abundant and varied ichthyic fauna has been discovered in them, which has formed the subject of an important memoir by Dr. Traquair.1 I am inclined to think that the Lanarkian rocks were originally of con- siderable thickness, and that, while the terrestrial oscillations to which they are due were in progress, a band of marine limestone similar to the Plymouth limestone was formed in connection with them. But upon this point there is still some difference of opinion. This, however, is certain ; whatever strata may at one time have been formed in connection with these rocks they soon afterwards underwent con- siderable disturbance and denudation, which ended in the removal of nearly the whole of the Lanarkian rocks, as well as a considerable thickness- many thousand of feet in all probability — of the older Silurian and Ordovician rocks. Hence it has happened that only a few fragmentary patches of the -strata originally formed have been left, and of these a still smaller part has been exposed by later denudation. As a consequence, the Lanarkian rocks are now only to be seen within limited areas. One of these lies in the heart of the Pentland Hills, near the head-waters of the rivers Lyne and North Esk. Another occurs on the flanks of Tinto. The third, and perhaps the •most important, occurs in connection with the Silurian outlier of the Logan Water, near Lesmahagow, and near Muirkirk. The second division of the Old Red, in chronological order, is that great group of strata which forms the Pentland Hills, the Cheviots, the Ochils, the Sidlaws, etc. For this the name Lower Old Red Sandstone is still employed by many geologists ; but having regard to the confusion likely to arise from such a use of the term many others consider that it is as well to adopt some more distinctive term, and they therefore refer to these rocks as the Caledonian Old Red, seeing that it may be justly regarded as par excellence THE Old Red of Scotland. This formation, in the area under notice, lies upon an exceptionally uneven surface, which is shaped out of every rock older than the Caledonian Old Red. In other words, there is an extensive and wide-spread unconformity, the base of the Caledonian Old Red overstepping all the rocks older than itself, from the highest surviving member of the Lanarkian Old Red down to the lowest Ordovician rocks occurring in the district. Further, its middle, or even its higher, subdivisions may overlap any one of the lower. Usually the basement beds consist of purplish- and chocolate-coloured sandstones, which are well seen at the Falls of Clyde, and the area a few miles to the south. Occasionally these are more or less conglomeratic, and very commonly there is at the base a well-marked band of conglomerate which is readily distinguished from the older conglomerate found in connec- tion with the Lanarkian rocks by containing, amongst many other rocks, a large percentage of grey wacke pebbles, derived .from the waste of the ancient uplands of Silurian and Ordovician strata which formerly occupied the area to the south. This greywacke-conglomerate has been found to be a very useful datum by the officers of the Geological Survey who lately re-mapped the district. As above remarked, the base of this formation is extremely variable as a consequence, chiefly, of the unevenness of the old land-surface upon which it accumulated. The irregularity is further increased by the fact that im- portant volcanic outbreaks commenced at an early period in the history of the formation, and were continued throughout a period of great length. 1 Trans, S.S»E.3 vol. xxxix., part 3. OF THE CLYDE AREA. 463 commonly one of the ancient lava-streams may be found to end off suddenly, and sandstones, or even conglomerates, may be found side by side with it. ' This fact has to be borne in mind in considering the geology of the country around Tinto, and also many other areas in the Pentland Hills and elsewhere. On the southeastern flank of Tinto the Caledonian Old Red is represented by a series of andesitic lavas which overstep the various members of the Lanarkian rocks in a manner which impresses one very much with the importance of the chronological break between the two formations. On the opposite side of Tinto we find the basement beds to be simply conglomerates and sandstones, with not a trace of any volcanic rocks amongst them. It is the same elsewhere. The general character of the Caledonian Old Red is that of a formation accumulated under continental conditions, when a certain degree of aridity characterised the climate. The torrential deposits from the ancient hills to the south were spread out on the lowlands and in the shallow waters of inland lakes, liable to be periodically dried up, wholly or in part. A chain of volcanos contributed occasional streams of lava, mostly of andesitic com- position, and now and then explosive eruptions took place, from which beds of tuff, usually of 110 great thickness, were spread out far and wide over the adjacent land". The volcanos must have attained to considerable dimensions if one may judge by the magnitude of the remnants left. During the active phases of volcanic action some considerable masses of intrusive rock were left at different levels below the surface ; while, at great depths below the volcano, the slow cooling, under enormous pressure, of the last of the volcanic magmas gave rise to several interesting masses of granite, whose dominant petrographical varieties may be termed diorite-granites, but which, as might be expected, locally graduated into more basic, or more acid, varieties. Considerable thermometamorphism arose in connection with these intrusions, .as niav be seen in many places in the southwestern parts of the basin of the Clyde." It is difficult, from the very fragmentary and disconnected nature of the existing remnants of the Caledonian Old Red, to form any reliable estimate of what its full thickness may have been. It is certain, however, that the maximum in any part of the basin of the Clyde must have been considerably less than has usually been considered to be the case. As regards the life of the period when the Caledonian Old Red was being formed the evidence is scanty, and has to be sought chiefly outside the area. It is recorded, however, that the late Mr. Brown of Lanfine once found a specimen of Cephalaspis Lyelli in the sandstones near that place. Most of the other fossils recorded from these rocks have been obtained from areas beyond the- limit of that specially under notice. Remains of the Caledonian Old Red occur at several places within the basin of the Clyde. They appear in force near the foot of Loch Lomond, where they form the western end of the great tract constituting the Sidlaws, the Ochils, and Strathmore. Discontinuous patches are exposed at several localities between Lanark and Girvan, and others more extensive are, doubtless, concealed beneath the unconformable covering formed by the newer rocks. A third exposure is to be found in the northern half of the Island of Arran. The andesitic lavas of these rocks form some of the chief repositories of the Agates or " Scotch Pebbles," for which the land has so long been famous. The highest group of strata classed under the general name of the Old Red Sandstone is the Upper Old Red. It consists almost entirely of sandstones and conglomerates, which latter occur chiefly in its lower portion. It is characterised, on the whole, by a much brighter-red coloration than either of the others. In its upper part calcareous concretions or " cornstones " occur. These mark the passage-beds into the Carboniferous rocks. They 464 THE OLD RED SANDSTONE OF THE CLYDE AREA. are due (as the writer suggested some years ago) to the reducing action of organic matter upon aqueous solutions of sulphate of lime, and mark a transition-period from the extremely arid climatical conditions which pre- vailed during the earlier part of the period to the humid conditions which characterised the succeeding Carboniferous times. Everywhere the Upper Old Red lies with a strongly-marked unconformity upon the rocks below, including the granites which are contemporaneous with the Caledonian Old Red volcanic rocks. The Upper Old Red Sandstone includes no volcanic rocks. It has yielded fossils at a few localities within the basin of the Clyde, chiefly at the Heads of Ayr. There is some reason to believe that part of the rocks within the Clyde area which have been referred to the Upper Old Red Sandstone may really belong to the Bimter division of the New Red rocks. ! THE CARBONIFEROUS ROCKS OF THE CLYDE DRAINAGE AREA. BY JOHN SMITH. THE Carboniferous strata of the Clyde drainage area, including the con- temporaneous volcanic rocks and the later intrusive sills, reach a total thickness of several thousand feet. Following the divisions adopted by the officers of the Geological Survey the arrangement of the different series may be given as follows : 1. Upper Coal and Ironstone Series. a. Red Sandstone, etc. b. Coals, Ironstones, Fireclays, Shales, Oil-shales, White and Grey Sandstones. 2. Millstone Grit Series. 3. Upper Limestone Series. 4. Lower Coal and Ironstone Series. 5. Lower Limestone Series. 6. Calciferous Sandstone Series. a. Cement Shales, and Grey Sandstones. b. Red or Grey Sandstones with Cornstones. Takino- these divisions in ascending order we have first the O O CALCIFEROUS SANDSTONE SERIES. The strata of this group rest either on Silurian rocks, as at Lady Glen, Kilkerran, or on Old Red Sandstone, as near Sorn. The red or grey sandstones of the division contain few fossils — Lepidodendron, Calamites, etc. — and the Cornstone beds, once extensively worked near Galston, New Cumnock, Kirkmichael, Dailly, Ayr, Arclrossan, etc., both in opencast quarries and in mines, are now entirely abandoned. They are remarkable deposits, sometimes with layers of chert, containing, amongst the limey material, abundance of sand-grains, pebbles of agate, jasper, quartz, etc., but they are entirely unfossiliferous. In the red sandstones near West Kilbride occur footprints, probably reptilian, worm-trails, rain-prints, ripple-marks and sun-cracks. The cement-shales in the upper part of the series occasion- ally yield ostracods, fish-remains, and plants, as on the shore between the mouth of the River Doon and the Heads of Ayr, and in the district between Galston and Sorn thev contain thin lavers, some crowded with Spirorbis and ** v • i * i » .J others with small bivalves. No truly marine remains have been found in the Calciferous rocks of this area. LOWER LIMESTONE SERIES. This series may rest on the cement-beds, but where best developed in the Beith and Dairy districts it rests on a great thickness of volcanic debris 2G 466 THE CARBONIFEROUS ROCKS OF which forms the upper part of the Dairy and Kilbirnie Hills. At Wildshaw near Douglas, however, it lies almost directly on the Old Red Sandstone. It contains a large proportion of the marine fauna of the Carboniferous rocks of Scotland. Near Campsie, Paisley, and Beith, it contains a bed with fresh- water ostrocoda, and on the top of a thin coal below the lowest limestone in the Beith and Dairy districts a band with Naiadites crassa. Above the second limestone in the same localities and also at Kilwinning there is a "fish-bed" in which volcanic debris mixed with the limestone is penetrated by roots and rootlets of Stigmaria. Some of the beds of this series were at one time very extensively worked for industrial purposes, but the workings are now confined to a few opencast workings near Beith and some pits near Lesmahagow. LOWER COALS AND IRONSTONE SERIES. This series occurs in a succession of strata between the Lower and Upper Limestone series, and its economic bands of ironstone generally occupy the lower part. The coals range from three or four workable seams at Dairy and Kilbirnie to seven or eight at Dalquharran and Muirkirk where the series attains its greatest importance. One of the seams near New Cumnock was 40 feet thick, and the Johnstone coal is said to have been even thicker. There are but few indications of marine conditions having obtained during the deposition of the beds of this series, but many of freshwater ones. Above one of the coal-seams near Giffen there is a thick band crowded with Naiadites, and in the lower strata there are occasionally thin layers containing some of the smaller species of Carbonicola. In the shales associated with one of the ironstones huge spines of Gyracanthus are sparingly got, also Rhizodus Hibberti, and sometimes reptilian remains. UPPER LIMESTONE SERIES. Like the Lower Limestones these strata attain their full development near Dairy (the very thickest bed in the latter lies to the east of Beith), but they are also well represented near Muirkirk and Barrhead. At the last-named place one of the thicker beds has long been worked as a "cement- stone." They, as a rule, contain more clay than the Lower Limestones, and so have seldom been burned for lime, but some of them yield good hard material tor roads. One of the lower beds, known as the "Index limestone" is a "calm lime," that is, a limestone with almost no fossils large enough to be visible to the naked eye, and breaking with a conchoidal fracture. It has been largely used in iron-smelting, building, and agriculture. Chert sometimes occurs in these beds as well as in the Lower Limestones. Marine fossils are occasionally abundant in certain limestone bands and in their under and overlying shales. Under the chief bed of cement-stone at Dairy and at Thornliebank there is a hard shale with Estheria and some crustacean remains, and the last of the trilobites occurs in abundance at Bowertrapping. Corals are but feebly represented in this series. Some thick and good white and grey sandstones occur in it. Nearly* all the limestone beds rest, as in the Lower Limestones, with very little intervening shale, on thin coal-seams with under clays. A few of these coals swell out in places to a considerable thickness. I have come to the conclusion that the Scottish Carboniferous limestones, as well as those in the north of England, are sedimentary deposits, the finer limey material of which they are largely composed having been brought by marine currents from the sea-bed during shallow depressions of the areas over which they extend. Plenty of evidence can be produced in favour of this view, but it is too extensive a subject to be entered upon here. THE CLYDE DRAIXAGE AREA. 467 MILLSTONE GRIT SERIES. The officers of the Geological Survey have introduced this series into their maps and memoirs, and have for this purpose drawn the base of the Upper Coal and Ironstone series at the slatyband ironstone, and they seem to have come to the conclusion that there is no Millstone Grit in the Kil- winning area. But the slatyband ironstone does occur there with several argument from the Survey point of view that there is no occurrence of the of the principal coals of the Upper series under it. If this represents the Millstone Grit it will include all the Upper Limestones and the sandstones immediately above and below the Lower and Upper beds. UPPER COAL AND IRONSTONE SERIES. The strata of this series occupy a very large area in Ayrshire and Lanark- shire, and are associated with the usual clays, shales, and white and grey sandstones of the division. Economically, where at its best, it contains about a dozen workable coals and several ironstones. The fossils generally belong to the genera Anthracomya and Carbonicola, which indicates fresh- water or estuarine conditions. C. robusta often extends in great "scalps" over large areas. In only one locality — near Coatbridge — do truly marine forms occur in the series, and Lingula is got in one or two places in Ayr- shire. Spirorbis is found attached to plants and shells, S. helicteris occurring crowded into thin bands much in the same way as it is in the cement- t/ stone (Calciferous) group. Plant-remains occur scattered throughout all the series, or sparingly collected into thin bands known as "fern beds." Several oil-shales occur, and generally yield disjointed remains of fishes and sometimes reptiles. Gyracanthus is got, generally in the roof-shales of some of the coal-beds, ostracoda occur in some of the shales and ironstones, and Belinurus Prestivichia, tfuphoberia, Xylobius, etc., have been obtained sparingly near Kihnaurs. At its upper part this series generally contains thick beds of reddish or purplish sandstones, shales of the same colours, and thin yellow sandstones. In the shale a thin limestone band with Spirorbis rninutus occurs, and also burrows filled with shale, as is well seen at Ballochmyle Scar near Catrine. Other bands of limestone are apparently unfossiliferous. [This Spirorbis limestone also is found at the top of the Lower Coal series of England, near Manchester, there being twelve bands of it, and what have long been known as " The Upper Coal-measures " of Scotland are now considered to be the equivalents of the English Lower Coal-measures.] The coal-seams of the Clyde drainage area number in their entirety about seventy, and they are all interesting from a geological point of view. The thin brownish layer — the old land- or swamp-surface — under them often contains a great variety of beautiful microscopic objects — Triletes and micro- spores — with remains of scorpions and eurypterids. These fossils are also got in the coals themselves, the hard layers (when not caused by clay) being often masses of their remains. These layers are called " splint." The Permian rocks rest unconformably on the Upper Coal and Ironstone series, though sometimes, as in the Snar Valley, on the Silurians. THE CARBONIFEROUS FOSSIL PLANTS OF THE CLYDE BASIN. BY ROBERT KIDSTON, F.R.S.E., F.G.S. IN Britain the Carboniferous formation is divisible into : l f I. Upper Coal-measures. TT ft v •£ II. Middle Coal-measures. Upper Carboniferous. H TTT T ^ , 111. Lower Coal-measures. I IV. Millstone Grit Series. T /-t i •£ f V. Carboniferous Limestone Series. Lower Carboniferous.^ -cTT f\ i -r o i < a • ( VI. Calciferous Sandstone Series. Of these only Nos. III., IV., V., and VI. occur in the Clyde area. Locally the Lower Coal-measures are referred to as the " Upper Coals and Ironstones," and the coals of the Carboniferous Limestone series as the " Lower Coals and Ironstones," but as these terms are very misleading I have adopted a nomenclature which is applicable to the Carboniferous formation iu its entirety in Britain. One most interesting circumstance in regard to the vertical distribution of the Carboniferous flora is that, as far as observations have yet shown, not a single species (with the exception of Stigmaria) passes from the Lower Carboniferous into the Upper Carboniferous. I am specially indebted for the Lanarkshire Coal-plants to Mr. R. Dunlop and Mr. P. Jack. For the Renfrewshire fossils I have received much assistance from Mi1. Peter Macnair, and for the Ayrshire records I am very specially indebted to the Rev. Dr. Landsborough ; also to Messrs. A. Sinclair, J. Rorrison, D. Beveridge, J. Stevenson, R. Lintou, and others. Mr. J. Smith has submitted to me specimens from the Kilwinning districtr arid to the same geologist I owe the majority of the records from the Calciferous Sandstone series. To the Director of the Geological Survey of Scotland I owe my thanks for permission to include in the list the plants collected in Arran by Mr. A. Macconochie and Mr. D. Tait, but it is to Dr. W. Ivison Macadam, F.R.S.E., that we owe our first knowledge of the Lower Carboniferous plants of Lochrin Burn. From the late Dr. John Young, the late Mr. A. Paton, and the late Mr. James Bennie, I also received much assistance. The list is divided into Lower Coal-measures, Carboniferous Limestone series, and Calciferous Sandstone series. In mentioning the horizons of the Coal-measure plants, I merely give the name of the seam, but the fossils have been derived in almost all cases from the shale forming the roof of the coal. The following list of the various localities may be of assistance in finding them : 1 See Kidston, Proc. Roij. Phys. Soc. Edin., vol. xii., 1894, pp. 183-258.

THE Carboniferous Foraminifera of the West of Scotland are found in nearly a4l the fossiliferous Marine Limestones and their, accompany ing shales, though certain forms are often restricted to particular horizons and localities. During the earliest years of- research specimens were almost entirely obtained from the weathered and rotted limestones and shales, which, on being care- fully washed and examined, yielded a considerable number of species, but more recently, through the use of transparent sections ground down from the harder strata, many interesting species have been added to the lists. When the late Dr. H. B. Brady beo-an his well-known Monograph on "The i/ OX British Carboniferous Foraminif era," issued by the Palaeontographical Society in 1876, nearly all the genera and species of foraminifera submitted for his determination were sent as single specimens detached from the rock-matrix, and he had to section many of them to transparency, often with consider- able difficulty, in order to obtain a knowledge of their shell-walls and internal structure. Had the same work now to be gone through Dr. Brady would have been spared much labour by the aid of the many microscopic sections which would have been at his disposal. • Further particulars of the West of Scotland foraminifera will be found in a paper by the late Dr. Young, which he read before the Geological Society of Glasgow in 1891.1 The divisions' of the Carboniferous rocks which yield the foraminifera are indicated in the following list by heavy letters — U.

S. THE CARBONIFEROUS SPONGES OF THE CLYDE DRAINAGE AREA. BY JOHN SMITH. IN 1876 I discovered remains of Sponges in the Carboniferous Limestone strata — both the Lower and Upper divisions. These were described by Prof. John Young and Dr. John Young, F.G.S., in the "Catalogue of Western Scottish Fossils," 1876, and in the Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 1877. They have since been more exhaustively treated by Dr. G. J. Hinde in his Monograph on "Fossil Sponges" issued by the Palaeontographical Society, and in his "Catalogue of Fossil Sponges in the British Museum." With perhaps the exception of A canthactinella Benniei, which may have been a sponge with calcareous spicules, all those found in the Carboniferous rocks of the Clyde drainage area appear to have been furnished with siliceous spiculae, and a peculiarity is the immense size of the spicules compared with those of recent sponges. They occur in both the Lower and Upper Limestones, but most abundantly in the upper divisions of the Lower Limestones, and though generally in the limestone strata, only occasionally in the shales. The divisions are indicated in the following list in heavy letters placed before the localities — U. L. S., Upper Limestone Series ; L. L. S., Lower Limestone Series.

THIS list of the Carboniferous Corals of the Clyde drainage area was drawn up by Mr. Thomson only shortly before his death in 1899, and therefore has not had the benefit of his revision in print. So far as possible it has been compared with an exhaustive paper on the Scottish Carboniferous Corals, which Mr. Thomson read before the Philosophical Society of Glasgow in 1883, and which was published at length in its Transactions, accompanied by 14 plates with numerous figures.1 Aulopora campanulata (M'Coy). — Wistown, Lanarkshire.

THE CARBONIFEROUS ANNELIDA OF THE CLYDE DRAINAGE AREA. BY (THE LATE) JOHN YOUNG, LL.D., F.G.S. CASTS and tracks of these organisms are to be met with in both the Lower and Upper divisions of the Carboniferous rocks of the Clyde area. Many traces of the smaller Annelids are found in the debris of the weathered limestone shales. A most interesting exposure of sandstone beds, con- taining abundance of the tubes or burrows of Arenicolites, afterwards filled with dark clay, is to be seen at Burnfield Quarry, near Thornliebank. After a period of possession the inhabitants seem to have died out, their remains having been covered up by a barren layer of shale, and this alternation has occurred some 12 or 14 times with the utmost regularitv.

THE Ostracoda found in the Carboniferous strata of Western Scotland are obtained from certain fossiliferous beds in each of its chief divisions, viz. the Calciferous Sandstone series, the Lower Limestone series, the Middle Coal and Ironstone series, the Upper Limestone series, and the Upper Coal and Ironstone series. The division, however, which has yielded the greatest number of genera and species is the Lower Limestone and its accompanying shales, chiefly of marine origin. In the strata, believed to be of lacustrine or freshwater origin from their fossil evidence, and from the absence of characteristic marine remains, as in the case of those strata which compose the Lower and Upper divisions of the Coal and Ironstone series, there are found certain forms of a small group of Ostracoda highly characteristic of these so-termed lacustrine conditions, and some of the species of which are found to range in time from the lower to the higher beds. The Ostracoda, wherever they appear, have evidently been very abundant in the waters in which these strata were being deposited, as their minute shells are often seen to have largely contributed to the formation of the beds. As a general rule they are hardly ever found mingling with the characteristic marine forms, which shows that the conditions under which the two groups lived were different. The species of the group have been, so far as discovered, very fully determined, described, and figured, thanks to the long-continued labours of Prof. T. Rupert Jones, F.R.S., and Mr. James W. Kirkby,1 who have made its study one of their chief specialities, culminating in the publication of their Monograph on the Carboniferous Ostracoda issued by the Palaeonto- graphical Society in 1874 and 1884 Extracted from a paper by the late Dr. John Young, F.G.S., read before the Geological Society of Glasgow in 1891. 2 Other important memoirs by Prof. Jones and Mr. Kirkby with figures and descriptions of the same subject have been published in the following : Annals and Magazine of Natural History, 1865, 1866, 1875, 1879, 1885, 1886, 1892, and 1895. Transactions of the Geological Society of Glasgow, 1869. Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, 1879. 1 A few weeks before this article was put in type the regretted death of Mr. Kirkby occurred. Consequently the list has not had the benefit of his supervision. 2 "Notes on the group of Carboniferous Ostracoda found in the strata of "Western Scotland, with a revised list of Genera and Species."

THE CARBONIFEROUS BRACHIOPODA OF THE CLYDE DRAINAGE AREA. BY JAMES NEILSON. THE important group of Brachiopods is well represented in the marine beds of the Upper and Lower Limestone series of the Clyde drainage area, especially in the Lower Limestones, and the most finely preserved examples are found in the associated shale-beds, showing in many cases the interior structure and muscular impressions. The minute organisms have been obtained in great abundance from the rotted limestone of the upper part of the Lower Limestones near Beith in Ayrshire. The Middle Coal and Ironstone series, which lies between the above- mentioned marine beds, and is chiefly of freshwater origin, is not known to contain any brachiopods except a few specimens of Lingula mytiloides and L. squamiformis, which occur in the alternating brackish-water beds. The Calciferous Sandstone series of the Clyde drainage area does not yield any brachiopods, several species previously recorded from Arran being now found to belong to the Upper and Lower Limestones. The boundaries of the Millstone Grit series are not as yet well-defined, and the fossils recorded from it appear so low down in the beds, abutting on the Upper Limestones, that it has been thought best to include them in the list from that series. The remains of brachiopods, chiefly as casts, are found in a bed of hard, white sandstone, exposed in a cutting on the North British Railway just south of Garngad Station, Glasgow, and this is, so far as we know, the only instance of the remains of marine mollusca having been met with in sandstone belonging to the Western Scottish coal-field. One or two forms of brachiopods, e.g. Lingula, range upwards into the lower strata of the Upper Carboniferous series, but are confined to thin bands which do not contain any of its more characteristic forms. In 1865 a thin bed containing two species of brachiopods and some other marine forms was discovered in the sinking of a coal-pit at Drumpark, about 200 fathoms above the Millstone Grit, but no similar occurrence has since been noted.1 The arrangement adopted in the following list is that of the late Dr. Thomas Davidson in his Monograph of " The British Carboniferous Brachio- poda " issued by the Palaeontographical Society. The divisions of the rocks in which the fossils occur are given before the localities in heavy letters. 1 Trans. Geol. Soc. of Glasgow, vol. ii., 1865, p. 52.

THIS class of the mollusca ranges throughout the several divisions of the Carboniferous rocks, the marine species being met with in the greatest numbers in the shales and clay-ironstones alternating with the limestones, in which latter, however, comparatively few specimens are found. The freshwater, or brackish-water group, represented by the Carbonicola, Anthracomya, and Naiadites, are confined chiefly to the musselband iron- stones and shales of the Upper Carboniferous series, a few species being got in similar strata in the Middle Coal and Ironstone series, while one— Naiadites crassa — is found in shale under the lowest limestone in the Beith district, associated with marine fossils. None of this group are to be met with in any of the beds yielding the characteristic marine organisms of the system, while, on the other hand, none of the latter are found in the Middle Coals and Ironstones. In several instances where Carbonicola is said to have been got along with marine organisms it may probably have been derived from some earlier deposit, or drifted seawards from its own proper habitat, or even more probably, it may have been picked up on a shale-heap amongst marine fossils, having really been derived from quite a different stratum, as recently happened in the case of other fossils at Alexandra Parade,. Glasgow. It is evident that these freshwater or brackish- water forms have lived in the Scottish coal-field under quite different conditions from the marine ones found in the Limestone series. In the following list the names of the freshwater group are those given in Dr. Wheelton Hind's Monograph on Carbonicola, Antkracomya, and Naiadites, and those of the marine Dimyaria in his Monograph on the Carboniferous Lamellibranchiata, both issued by the Palaeontographical Society, 1894 to 1900. Unfortunately Dr. Hind has not yet worked out the Monomyaria, though it is to be hoped he will soon do so, as at present the group is in a most unsatisfactory condition. When this is done we are under the impression that the number of species will be very much reduced. Many of the generic and specific names in this list will be found to differ from those in the 1876 Catalogue1 owing to various causes, such as the sub-division of genera, the former names being synonyms of previously- existing species, or former faulty identification of the species. For facility of reference to the existing literature on the subject the old names have been given in italics, and within brackets ( ). MONOMYARIA. Leiopteria lunulata, Phill. — (rare). U. L. S.

THE Carboniferous Cephalopoda are represented by a considerable number of genera and species, which range from the Lower to the Upper Limestones, the greater number both of species and of individuals being found in the latter. A small species of Goniatites has been found abundantly in a thin marine band in the LTpper Carboniferous series at Alexandra Parade, Glasgow, Remains of large examples of Nautilus, Actinoceras, Orthoceras, and Poterio- ceras occur in the limestone chiefly in the form of casts, but the good specimens which are got in the shales generally have the outer shell well preserved, some of the Orthoceratites still showing the remains of chevron- shaped colour-bands.

IN concluding my lists of the larger groups of the Carboniferous mollusca some interesting points regarding their distribution may be mentioned. On certain horizons of both the Lower and Upper Limestone Series an associated group of shells always appears in some of the shales and the clay ironstones, and sometimes in the calmy or cement limestones. The following are its most characteristic genera : — Nucula, Nuculana, Ctenodonta, Paral- lelodon, and Cypricardia, amongst the bivalves ; Plcurotomaria, Murchisonia, Eiiomphalus, Macroc/ieilus, Naticopsis, Loxonema, Dentalium, and Bellerophon, amongst the univalves ; and Nautilus, Cyrtoceras, Orthoceras, and Goniatites, amongst the chambered shells. From these same strata Corals, Crinoids, Polyzoa, and most of the Brachio- pods, are absent, or at least rarely present ; but, on the other hand, in the strata where these latter groups do occur abundantly, the above-mentioned group of mollusca rarely appears. It may also be stated that the above genera of mollusca are generally absent from the purer limestones, or are sparely represented by different species which do not appear in the shales. A cursory examination of any collection of Western Scottish fossils will show that all the genera named are chiefly derived from the Lower and Upper Limestone shales. This grouping of the molluscan and other marine faunas of the Scottish Carboniferous sea-bottom has in all probability depended greatly upon the depth of water, the temperature, and the nature of the sediments which were then being deposited. The reappearance at wide intervals, and at several horizons, of strata containing such varying groups of molluscan life shows clearly that certain conditions of the sea-floor were requisite for their growth and development, and also, on the other hand, that the same conditions were not favourable to the growth of Corals, Crinoids, Polyzoa, and many of the Brachiopods.

THE Carboniferous rocks of the West of Scotland are rich in fish-remains, although entire specimens of fishes are not of such frequent occurrence as in Midlothian or North Staffordshire. I have not myself collected in the district, but I have carefully examined the Carboniferous fish -remains in the principal collections of Western Scottish Fossils, viz. : 1. The James Thomson collection now in the new Kilmarnock Museum. 2. The Hunter-Selkirk collection, in the same institution. 3. The collection contained in the Hunterian Museum, of the University of Glasgow, which includes the fish-remains collected by the late Dr. Eankine of Carluke. 4. The collection formed by the late Mr. Robert Craig, Beith. 5. The collection of Mr. John Smith, Monkredding, Kilwinning. 6. The collection of Mr. James Neilson, Glasgow. 7. The collection of Mr. Robert Dunlop, formerly of Stanrigg, Airdrie, and now in New Zealand. 8. The collection of Mr. David Sinclair, Kilmarnock. Besides the fish-remains in these collections (to the possessors and guardians of which I must return my best thanks for facilities of inspection), I have noted those in the Edinburgh Museum of Science and Art, which, a good many years ago acquired the collection of the late Mr. James Armstrong of Glasgow, and that of Dr. Grossart of Salsburgli, Carluke. The result of my recent examination is to confirm the conclusion at which I arrived a good many years ago, after studying the fossil fishes of Fife and the Lothians, — that so far as fish-life is concerned there are only two great life-zones — Upper and Lower — in the Carboniferous system of Great Britain. In Scotland the Upper division includes the true Coal-measures with the II n deriving Millstone Grit, while in the lowerone may be reckoned, in downward succession, the Upper Limestone series ; the Edge Coal series of Edinburgh geologists, or the "Lower Coal" series of those who dwell in the west ; the Lower Limestone series ; and the Calciferous Sandstone series. The difference between the fish-fauna of these two great divisions is not, however, quite so instructively brought out in the West of Scotland as in the East, the reason being that the fish-remains from the Lower Carboniferous rocks of the West are principally from the marine limestones, while those of the Upper division or true "Coal-measures" are wholly estuarine, and in setting up " life-zones " we must, of course, compare the organisms which lived under similar conditions. This we are enabled to do better in the East of Scotland owing to the great richness in fossil fishes of the Lower Carboni- ferous estuarine beds there, though the list from the entire formation is not CARBONIFEROUS FISHES OF THE WEST OF SCOTLAND. 513 so great as that from the West, owing to the smaller extent of the Coal- measures, and the consequently smaller number of the workings. The fish- remains which have, however, occurred in the Coal-measures (Upper Carboni- ferous) of Fife and the Lothians belong to the same fauna as those of the West of Scotland, and of the North and West of England. In the following list of species I have, therefore, only indicated two great horizons, the Lower and Upper Carboniferous, which are distinguished by the letters L.C. and U.C. respectively, in heavy type.

It is true that a large proportion of the fishes of the Lower Carboniferous rock& of this region are marine, while those of the true Coal-measures are entirely estuarine, but in the East of Scotland, where those of the Lower division are likewise mostly estuarine, almost as marked a difference obtains, as regards species, though there is of course a greater similarity in general facies. Consequently as we can there compare estuarine with estuarine forms, the break in the Carboniferous fish-fauna which occurs at the top of the Upper Limestone series is, as I have already remarked, brought home to us with all the greater force. THE AMPHIBIA OF THE CARBONIFEROUS ROCKS OF THE CLYDE DRAINAGE AREA. BY THE LATE DR. JOHN YOUNG.

As observed by Sedgwick, Binney, Harkness, and Goodchild, the Permian rocks of England are unconformable to the underlying strata, and the patches of this formation in the Clyde drainage area occupy a similar position. BALLANTRAE DISTRICT. Just north of Ballantrae harbour and on the shore, there is a narrow patch of Permian rocks. It consists of (a) a subangular conglomerate of a reddish tinge at parts bound together with calcite, the contained pebbles being evidently derived from the local Silurian rocks, greywacke, and trap, and having suffered very little tear and wear, generally no more than their angles having been removed. (6) From a short way N. of the harbour and on to near Bennane Head there is an exposure of fine-grained red sandstone closely resembling that of Mauchline. The beds dip gently, and are fre- quently cross-bedded and ripple-marked. It is so soft that the recent mollusc Pholas crispata bores freely into it. These beds have been bored for coal, and fresh water issues from a bore- hole under high-tide mark. They terminate abruptly a short distance inland, and may be faulted against the Silurians. A few narrow trap dykes cut through them. MAUCHLINE DISTRICT. The Permian rocks of this district occupy a " pear-shaped " area, 9 miles by 6 at its widest part. The lower beds consist of a series of " porphyrites, melaphyres and tuffs, the product of volcanic vents which were active during the earlier part of the Permian period." ("Explanation" sheet 14, Geol. Survey.) They form a ring with an average width of less than a mile, and doubtless extend under the red sandstones, which at parts are seen to rest on them. There is, however, no definite line of junction, the tuft' dove- tailing into the sandstone lying above it. The Permian sandstone is well exposed on the Water of Ayr at Balloch- myle and Barskimming ; on the Lugar Water, near Auchinleck ; and in several large quarries near Mauchline. It resembles that of the Ballantrae district, and probably is largely a subaerial formation, although some of it as exposed in the railway cutting between Mauchline station and the Mossgiel tunnel has evidently been laid down in water. The thickness of this patch is not known, but is at least several hundreds of feet. Towards its upper part, bombs of the characteristic Permian volcanic, steatitic, and tender amygdaloidal rock occur in the sandstone, showing that towards PERMIAN ROCKS OF CLYDE DRAINAGE AREA. 519 the close of its formation (so far as seen here) volcanic activity had again set in. A volcanic vent is seen at the north end of the Mossgiel tunnel. Car- boniferous Coal-measure rocks extend all round this Permian area, and doubtless under it. ARRAN. The geological position of the red sandstone strata of Arran had long been a matter of dispute till the discovery on the N.E. shore of a con- glomeratic underlying sandstone which closely resembles that of Mauchline, proved at least that they were of post-Carboniferous limestone date and were in all likelihood of Permian age. (Trans. Geol. Soc. of Glasgow, vol. xi., 1898, p. 29.) The sandstones closely resemble those already described, but the conglomerate is entirely different from that of Ballantrae, and that of the Snar Valley to be presently mentioned. It contains pebbles of limestone with at least 29 species of Carboniferous fossils ; the other pebbles consist- ing of quartz, varieties of 'trap, and fragments of sandstone. The patches of red sandstone near Corrie and at Maoldon may be of Permian age, and have evidently been influenced, as to their dip, by the granitic nucleus of the island. SNAR VALLEY.* In the Snar Valley, between Crawfordjohn and Leadhills, there is a sub- oval area of two miles by one mile, its long axis running N.N.W. and S.S.E. With the exception of a few feet of sandstone it is entirely composed of conglomerate with pebbles of greywacke and radiolarian chert. It dips towards Glendowran Hill (1543 feet) and Brown Hill (1603 feet), at about 20° on an average. Close to the east boundary, on these hills, the dip becomes reversed and increases to as much as 60°, which apparently indicates that since the Permian strata were deposited they have been let down or the hills have been elevated. They rise from 850 to 1350 feet above sea-level. The conglomerate has a considerable resemblance to that of Ballantrae, and like it is occasionally cemented bycalcite, the greywacke pebbles being stained (generally to their centres) of a reddish colour, and occasionally reaching a diameter of two feet. (Trans. Geol. Soc. Glas. vol. xi.) It is seen at one part to rest on the upturned edges of Silurian strata, also stained to some depth by the red colouring matter of the conglomerate. At Bothwell the Clyde cuts through red rocks, but they are probably just the upper part of the Coal-measure strata, although some of the beds closely resemble the sandstone of Ballochmyle. No fossils having been found in the Permian patches of the Clyde area, it is entirely on lithological and stratigraphical evidence that these remnants of an evidently once more extensive formation have been relegated to the Permian period. * For a detailed description of this deposit see the author's paper, Trans. Geol. Soc. of Glasgow, vol. xi., part 2, 1900, page 250. THE DRIFT OR GLACIAL FORMATION OF THE CLYDE DRAINAGE AREA. BY JOHN SMITH. THE DRIFT BELOW SEA-LEVEL. THE Clyde Drift-deposits extend to at least 230 feet below sea-level,1 and to 1750 feet above it.2 In a bore at Millichin, near Garscadden, 355 feet of drift-beds were passed through, the bottom being 221 feet below the present sea-level. These contained probably six Boulder-clays of varying shades of colour.3 In another bore at Drumry the bottom of the drift was 230 feet below sea-level. It has been shown by Messrs. Croll and Bennie that a deep drift-filled gutter extends between the Clyde and the Forth in the hollow at present occupied by parts of the River Kelvin and the River Carron. As far as borings give the information the highest part of that hollow cannot be far, geographically, from the present watershed at Kilsyth, the bottom of the trough there being 15 to 20 fathoms below the level of the canal The ^5 hollow E. of that deepens even more — at least 252 feet below sea-level — than that yet proved on the Clyde side. Several Boulder-clays have been passed through in the bores (as on the Clyde end of the hollow), but in the shallow portion near Kilsyth " only sand and gravel has been found." Shells of mollusca and foraminifera have been occasionally recorded from these beds, but no attempt was made to "work" them systematically for organic remains when the borings were made. At a little below and above sea-level a series of beds with Arctic shells, etc., is found, but as they are evidently of more recent date than the drift-beds higher up country I shall take the latter as first in order. THE DRIFT ABOVE SEA-LEVEL. The drift is only occasionally seen on the shore-level, as at Ardneil Bay, where the surface is composed of a tough reddish Boulder-clay ; on the Garnock Water and the Water of Irvine ; on several parts of the coast between Gourock and Skelmorlie; and in some of the sea-lochs. This paucity of drift on the sea-margin is owing to the immense time that the waves must have acted both on it and the adjoining rocks during the Raised Beach period, and also the recent one when it was cut off from that below sea-level. The last Raised Beach epoch is represented in the Clyde by a platform or terrace about 10 feet above high-tide mark, and that it was of great duration is shown by the present line of cliffs on its landward side. 1 J. Bennie, Trans. Geol. Soc. of Glasgow, vol. iii., part 1, 1868, p. 139. 2 The author, Ibid., vol. xi., supplement, 1898, p. 83. 3 J. Bennie, Ibid., vol. iii., part 1, 1868, p. 139. DRIFT OR GLACIAL FORMATION. 521 At present it is the fashion to regard the close of the glacial period as of comparatively recent date — 8000 years even having been suggested. North of Portincross there is a Raised Beach cliff a mile long, composed of reddish sandstone and pink trap, rising to a vertical height of 300 feet, west of which, during the Raised Beach period, a quantity of rock of probably at least 9,000,000 of tons must have been weathered from the face of the retiring cliff, ground into sand and mud, and carried off by the waves and currents. The talus of this cliff amounts to more than 100,000 tons. Where the rock is composed of sandstone and conglomerate the talus is a reddish clayey sand with pebbles and large masses of sandstone, but where the sandstone is capped by trap, 150 feet thick, the talus has also large blocks and shivers of trap. Some of the blocks from this cliff rest on Raised Beach shelly beds which they have protected from decay. Advocates of the theory of a short period of time since the close of the glacial period must bear in mind that there are no extinct shells in the Eaised Beach beds of the Clyde, nor any boulders, and that little or no alteration in sea-level has taken place since Roman times, and very little since Iverian ones. Above sea-level, the drift rises to at least 1750 feet, as already stated, and like that below it contains several beds of Boulder-clay — sometimes four. On some parts of the coast-line there are higlAnd old "scars " of drift, as N. of Girvan and N. of Ballantrae. An exposure 3 miles N. of the latter shows : Boulder-clay, with a few shelly fragments, . . 98 feet. Reddish sand, with decaying shells, . . • \ 28 Dark-red clay, with a few stones and solid shells, J Gravel and sand, with rotted shells, . . 21 „ Boulder-clay, only occasionally seen, . . . 5 „ The base of this section, not seen, is probably about sea-level. The drift-beds as we ascend in altitude generally become thinner, and at about 1100 feet, in Ayrshire at least, no intercalated beds have been recorded — only Boulder-clay/ In a recent investigation of the deposits cut through by the new railway from Elvanfoot to Wanlockhead in Lanarkshire I observed that there is no Boulder-clay above 1000 feet, and that all the drift is well-stratified, sometimes containing large foreign blocks. In no part of Scotland are the drift- deposits better seen, perhaps, than in Ayrshire, the strata in many of the sections lying almost horizontal, or dipping with the valleys. There is clear evidence of extensive deforma- tion having taken place, sometimes during their deposition, but occasionally after it, and, there is an almost continuous exposure of the shelly-drift from sea-level to a height of 1061 feet above it.1 The shells are _ generally preserved in the Boulder-clay or in stoney clay, though sometimes in sand or gravel, or in clay layers in the sandy beds and in laminated clay. In Lanarkshire shelly-drift occurs on the Douglas Water at 1060 feet, and for two miles down stream. Recently I have obtained marine fossils at even a higher level on the Powbrane Burn. In other parts of the Clyde area shells have been found in the drift from near to over 1100 feet above sea-level. SHELLS IN THE BOULDER-CLAY. It must have been noticed by most observers that shells in the Bo alder- clay exist almost always as fragments or as single valves, though these are often in such a fine state of preservation that it is impossible to suppose they have been transported any distance.

Soc. of Glasgow, vol. xi., supplement, 1898, p. 113. 522 THE DRIFT OR GLACIAL FORMATION OF retained. True, some of the shells are scratched, and in such cases must have been dragged a little. But how the valves have been so generally disjoined it is not easy to explain. That the Boulder-clays are marine deposits does not, I think, admit of doubt ; they are frequently stratified, they often contain passage-beds between them and their associated sand and gravel beds, and they shade into laminated clays interbedded with them. These, taken with the fact that they often contain an abundance of marine fossil remains, afford strong proofs that Boulder-clays have been deposited in the sea. The coast of Ayrshire lies well open to the Atlantic, and it is difficult to see how its drift could be a deposit from land-ice carrying " ground-moraine " uphill, as some geologists maintain. It is generally admitted that before the glacial period the land stood much higher than it does at present, but this only increases the difficulty of understanding how marine remains could have been transported uphill by land-ice.1 But how are the drift-shells so uniformly single-valved ? It may be suggested that after the large ligaments have decayed or been eaten by microzoa the valves would easily fall asunder by agitation of the water caused by the falling of stones from floating ice, and probably a large pro- portion of the shells were smashed by the same agency. DRIFT PECULIARITIES. The Original Ground- Moraine is a thin layer on top of the rock which differs from any of the drift above it, and is, I believe, the only deposit of the kind ever formed by land-ice. Where the drift has been dragged (a) by the stranding of icebergs, (6) by glaciers pushing into the sea amongst deposits, or (c) by subsequent 'land-ice dragging the beds, it has been con- verted into what may be called secondary ground-moraine. Boulder-clay is seen sometimes resting on rock entirely different in colour from itself even at the point of contact, and it is often difficult to know, on the one hand, where the Boulder-clay ends and the gravel or laminated clay begins. On the other hand, it is puzzling to decide as to whether a bed is simply clay or Boulder-clay, as sand, gravel, and clay often contain large blocks, and gravel is sometimes very clayey, as may at present be seen at Blackhall, near Paisley, where it also contains boulders, is stratified, and lies under true Boulder-clay. Unscratched Angular Stones, well-scratched stones, and unworn and un- scratched shells, are often got lying near each other in Boulder-clay. Boulders versus Stones. The latter are found often in the drift, whereas boulders are the exception, though they are conspicuous from their size. Lines of Boulders are frequently seen in sections in the Boulder-clay, but the arrangement is only noticeable when they extend over a considerable space. Ripple-marked Sand is occasionally seen interbedded in the drift, as in sections on the Guelt Water. Manganese Gravel. Black gravelly beds stained by the binoxide of man- ganese are sometimes seen in the drift. Drift on Steep If ill-sides seen in sections on the burns is always very stoney and sometimes stratified. Crumpled Mud is occasionally met with in the drift under normal beds. Vertical Burrows in Sand are found in thick Boulder-clay at Newmilns.2 Sand-dykes in Boulder Clay are rare, but in. Crawfordland Burn eight are 1 The Norwegian expedition to Greenland of 1876, 1878 found remains of a littoral fauna down to 6000 feet below sea-level. 2 Trans. Geol.

THE CLYDE DRAINAGE AREA. 523 exposed within a few yards, at about 380 feet above sea-level, and dip with the valley at about 800.1 Passage-beds from Boulder-clay to Sand are well seen on Changue Burn, in Galston parish, 700 feet above sea-level. Peat and Vegetable Matter in Drift are found : — under a sand-bed in Boulder- clay at Gamesloup, 70 feet 2 ; at Burnhead, near Airdrie 3 ; in sand under thick Boulder-clay on Guelt Water, at 860 feet above sea-level 4 ; on Patrick Burn, Muirkirk, in Boulder-clay and resting on a rotted surface of the same material, at about 1000 feet above sea-level ; ou Afton Water, but doubtfully if in situ, at 1350 feet above sea-level. Shore-lines and Gravel Terraces. Near the " Windy Wizzen," E. of Darvel, the officers of the Survey have shown on the 1 inch map No. 22, "an old sea- beach about 700 feet above sea-level." Lately, I saw that, where exposed, large blocks of trap from the great scar on the south face of London Hill had at one time rolled down on the top of this sand and gravel deposit, so that this cliff may have been the work of the waves helped by floating-ice. Terraces of sand and gravel occur near Eagleshain 535 to 900 feet above sea- level,5 and among the Moorfoot Hills at 1050 to 1100 feet.6 Where Boulder- clay has been denuded away, sand and gravel are often exposed on the surface over small areas, as on the Annick Water at 620 feet above sea-level, where they may be seen going under Boulder-clay. Hill-Benches backed by Cliffs or Banks &TZ occasionally seen at London Hill ; Glen, near New Cumnock about 900 feet above sea-level ; Ponesk Valley, Muirkirk, at about 1300 feet7 ; and in many places to much higher altitudes un the hills near the higher tributaries of the Clyde. Old Drift-filled Glens are frequent, the rivers having at many places left their old glens and cut new ones, often out of solid rock.8 Post-Glacial Glens cut in Rock. Examples of these are : — the Mouse Water, Lanark ; Craignethan ; Ness Glen, Loch Doon ; Boreland Glen, near Patna ; Hindog Glen and Cleaves Glen, Dairy ; and the gorge in the Permian rocks near Barskimming. Old Land-Surfaces have been found in the drift 300 to 400 feet above sea- level, near Beith, with roots of oak, hazel, and other trees, between Boulder- clays.9 Angular Blocks. — In the moraine of the Ford of Moak, Loch Doon, there is a great assemblage of angular blocks, which to all appearance have never been rubbed, and were probably carried on the surface of a glacier. Dry River Channels occur near Muirkirk, New Cumnock and Ballantrae, and are cut out both of rock and drift. They have probably been formed by streams diverted from their normal courses by ice -dams.10 BOULDERS. According to the late Mr. Allport there is not a boulder in Arran foreign to the island, and although it is a strong statement I know of no contradictory evidence. The principal carriage of the granite blocks has been S. and towards the Atlantic, very few having, apparently, come E.

In the island itself many large granite blocks have come east. A few north Highland schistose rocks are abundant in the northern part of the Clyde area, and extend as far S. as Muirkirk (perhaps to Wanlock Water). They have been long known to the country folk as " Heelan Whin." Boulders of mackled granite, possibly from Ben Cruachan, but more probably from the patch of similar granite which lies E. of the head of Loch Fyne at Loch Garabal,1 diorite from Glen Falloch, and actinolite (hornblende) probably from near Loch Tay, are occasionally got. Knype granite from New Cumnock is found towards the head-waters of the Clyde, more especially in the district between the Lowthers and the Crawick Water. Spango granite is frequent about Muirkirk, Douglas Water, and the head- waters of Glenmore Water and Crawick Water. On a recent investigation I found that the Spango granite boulders extended for several miles all round the outside of the granitic area. Watstone Hill granite is frequent in the upper part of the Irvine valley, but less so about Strathavon, an occasional block having found its way as far to the N.N.W. as Kilwinning and as far E. as the Nethan Water. The granite to the south of Loch Doon and Loch Bradan is found in immense quantities in the valleys of the Doon and the Girvan, and along the Carrick shore, and has come N. as far as Portin- cross, and S. to Lead hills as seen in recent railway cuttings, and also some way West. Boulders are sometimes seen lying with their long axes in the same direction as the rock-striae, but they are also found lying across them, in fact in all ways, and sometimes even standing perpendicularly in the drift. ROCK-STRIAE. Perhaps these should have been partly treated of first of all, but it is extremely difficult to discriminate between the first formed striae and the later ones. Those on rock-faces are often taken as indexes to the direction from which the drift was carried along and deposited by land-ice, but I believe the striae have nothing to do with the drift-beds above them. It is evident that glacier-ice was in motion long ages before they were deposited, the old rotted rocks having in many parts been previously removed ; and the condition of the majority of the stones and boulders in the drift shows that they were derived from solid rock and not from the rotted surface-rock. At the present day, for instance, solid serpentine cannot be got from the outcrops, except on the sea-shore or from underdrift, but it can be obtained in first- rate condition from the Boulder-clays of Lendalfoot, etc. Where the bottom beds of drift are composed of gravel there are no striae on the rock-faces under it. In the higher reaches of the Clyde area some of the rotted grey- wacke and Spango granite may date from pre-glacial times. The directions of the rock-striae in the Clyde area are briefly : — On the Ayrshire coast, S. of, or parallel to, the coast-line ; in the lower part of the Doon valley, N.W., or with the valley ; at Loch Doon, nearly N., or with the valley and loch ; in N.E. Ayrshire, S.W., or with the valleys ; in the upper hilly part of the Garnock valley, S.E., or with the valley ; on the head waters of the Irvine, W., or with the valley ; at Fairlie, S., or with the shore (or Clyde valley) ; at Little Cumbrae, the same ; in Renfrewshire, from Greenock to Paisley, E.S.E. ; on Loch Lomond, S.S.E., or in the direction of the loch ; at Airdrie, E. ; at Lanark and Carnwath, E.N.E. ; in Bute, S.S.E., the direction of the Firth of Clyde valley ; on the upper part of Loch Fyne, S.S.W., or with the loch ; in the lower part of Kintyre, both across and with the long axis of the peninsula. It will be seen from this that the direction of the striae generally follows the slope of the ground (though sometimes they are at right angles within 1 Hopkins, Q. J. G. S., 1850. THE CLYDE DRAINAGE AREA. 525 short distances, or even on the same rock-surface) so that the bulk of the evidence is in favour of their having been produced by the action of land-ice, before the drift-beds were deposited, but some of them may have been caused by icebergs during a depression of the land. Striae occasionally ascend on rock -surf aces, as in Bute, at Ashgrove near Stevens ton, in Dun- nach Burn, Ballantrae,1 in Loch Doon, and in the Afton valley. ROCK-DRUMS. In the low grounds rock-drums often occur, probably under drift, and near the coast examples are sometimes laid bare, as at Bennane Head, N. of Ballantrae. In the valleys hemmed in by steep-sided hills — especially where the rocks are of unequal hardness2 — they are very numerous. Perhaps the finest display of them in the Clyde area is on the hill-slopes in the lower eastern part of Noddsdale, and in the upper part of the Girvan valley. On the moors they are abundant, and permanently wet rock-faces often have them very well preserved. The long axes of rock-drums are usually with the striae. DRIFT-DRUMS. The 60-feet and 40-feet Eaised Beaches occasionally rest on Boulder-clay drums. Up to 800 feet above sea-level there are immense numbers of drift- drums, their long axes being generally with the valleys, but sometimes across them. Above that height clusters of small drift-drums occasionally occur in the narrow valleys and usually at the junction of a side valley with a larger one.3 It is quite evident that many at least of the drift-drums have been carved out of stratified deposits by glacier-ice.4 A drift-drum is sometimes found resting on top of a rock-drum. The waves during the last Eaised Beach period truncated the large drift-drums N. of Girvan and Ballantrae,5 and drift has in many places, like beds of rock, been entirely carried away by glacier-ice. MORAINES. These remains of ice-action are singularly scanty. Some of the fishing " banks" in the Clyde estuary may be the upper surfaces of either moraines- or drift-drums. At low levels near the mouths of some of the Highland glens a few occur, like the remarkable one near Row ; on Loch Lomond-side N. of Balmaha ; and in Arran. The fine example in Glen Fruin has a ground plan of nearly semicircular outline, with a length of about 4 miles, and climbs the hills on either side to a height of several hundred feet.6 There are also the Colmonell moraine 7 ; the Cuff hill moraine ; the Penwhapple,, Polreoch, and Avon moraines, about 750 feet above sea-level.8 KAMES. Carnwath is the great centre for the peculiar accumulations of stratified sand and gravel which are known as kames. There they present the appearance of a " tumbled sea . . . the ground now swelling . . . into beautiful peaks and cones, and anon curving up in sharp ridges that often wheel suddenly round so as to enclose a lakelet of bright, clear water." 9 Somewhat similar surface-features are to be found near Maybole. Some kame-like hillocks of drift are probably due to recent river-denudation, as near Skelmorlie ; in the angle between the Avon Water and the Glengavil Water ; and near 1 Trans. Geol.

BY JOSEPH SOMMERVILLE AND G. R. THOMPSON. THE Rocks of the district are given in a tabulated form, and are chiefly compiled from Sir Archd.Geikie's "Ancient Volcanoes of Britain," the Memoirs of the Geological Survey of Scotland, and the Transactions of the Geological Society of Glasgow. IGNEOUS ROCKS. The Igneous Rocks have been classified from their chemical and mineralo- gical composition. For their positions in geological chronology, see "The Ancient Volcanoes of Britain." They are divided into four groups as follows :— Acid group. — Those containing over 65 per cent, of silica. Granite — Arran : Loch Doon : Spango. Micro-Granite, Eurite or Granulite — Ailsa Craig. Graphic Granite or Pegmatite — Cowal District. Felsite — Quartz-porphyry and Feldspar-porphyry or Porphyrite — Tinto : Lochfyne : Ballantrae. Pitchstone — Arran. Intermediate group. — Those containing 55 to 65 per cent, of silica. Lamprophyre, including Kersantite, Camptonite, Vogesite, etc. — Cowal District. Diorite — Girvan and Cowal districts. Trachyte — in dykes in the Cowal district. Andesite — largely represented in the district and often a.mygdaloidal. Dumbarton, Ayr, Renfrew, and Lanark shires. Basic group. — Those containing 45 to 55 per cent, of silica. Gabbro : Hornblend gabbro and Hyperite — Girvan : Cowal. Basalt — common in the district in intrusive sheets and dykes, often columnar. Tachylyte — a basalt glass forming selvages of basalt dykes — Whiteinch : Lendalfoot. Mr. Clough has found it in the centre as well as on the selvages of dykes ; see Survey Memoir: "The Geology of Cowal." Dolerite — commou all over the district in dykes and intrusive sheets. Where it has been erupted or intruded amongst carbonaceous strata its usual dark colour has been changed into grey and white. Diabase and Diabase porphyrite, showing pillow structure — Girvan dis- trict : Dumgoyn. Ultra-Basic group. — Those containing generally less than 45 per cent, of silica. Serpentine — Lendalfoot : Innellan. In this group may also be noted Olivine-enstatite rock and Horn- blend-picrite — Girvan district. VOLCANIC FRAGMENTAL ROCKS. Volcanic agglomerate — Dunibuck : Campsie Hills : Renfrewshire and Ayr- shire. THE ROCKS OF THE CLYDE DRAINAGE AREA. 547 Volcanic Conglomerate and Breccia — Ayrshire. „ Tuff — This is found associated with the agglomerate. A very fine variety known as Water-of- Ayr-stone was recently exposed in a fine section at Troon. METAMORPHIC ROCKS. A group of these rocks are well exposed in Argyllshire, passing into Bute and forming a rim around the granite area in Arrau. These are more fully described by Mr. Peter Macnair, p. 414. Their geological age has not yet been ascertained, but probably they are not younger than Silurian. They consist of altered igneous rocks, forming Epidiorites, Hornblende, and Chlorite-schists and Serpentines. The rocks of sedimentary origin are altered to Gneissose-grits, Schistose- grits, Schistose-greywackes, Albite-schists, Graphite-schists, Mica-schists, Schistose-limestones, Phyllites, and Chlorite-epidote-schists. See the Green beds of the Geology of Cowal. AQUEOUS OR SEDIMENTARY ROCKS. (The Aqueous or Sedimentary Rocks are given in ascending geological order.) Silurian. Sandstones, Greywackes, Grits, Breccias, Conglomerates (Haggis rock). Mudstones, Radiolarian Cherts, Limestones, etc. — Ayrshire and Lanarkshire. Old Red Sandstone. Red Sandstones, Breccias and Conglomerates, Cornstones and Magnesian- lirnestones— Ayr, Lanark, Dumbarton, and Argyle shires. Carboniferous Rocks. The rocks of this formation are largely developed in the counties of Lanark and Ayr, and consist of thick-bedded Limestones and Sandstones, Grits, Conglomerates, Shales, Fireclays, Blackband Ironstones, and numerous seams of Coal. Permian (?) or New Red Sandstone. Red Sandstones — Ayrshire. Pleistocene or Glacial Beds. Boulder-clay, Stratified clays, Sands and Gravels, Moraines, and Kames, Erratic blocks, etc. These rocks are abundant all over the district. See " The Great Ice Age," by Prof. James Geikie ; " The Drift or Glacial Deposits of Ayrshire/' by Mr. John Smith ; and the Transactions of the Geological Society of Glasgorv. Recent Beds. Alluvium in the river valleys. Blown sand — along the shore from Ardrossan to Avr : near Ardlamont «.' Point, Argyllshire. Raised-Beaches — along the shores of the river and firth of Clvde. •/ Peat — extensive tracts occur on many parts of the district, chiefly in Lanark and Ayr shires, as at Shotts, Aird's Moss, etc. Soil — Boulder-clay deposits being extensive in the district, a great part of the soil is the weathered surface of that clay. There is also fine soil produced by the disintegration of some of the volcanic rocks. Talus — This is found at the base of cliffs and steep slopes. THE MINERALS OF THE CLYDE DRAINAGE AREA. BY JOSEPH SOMMERVILLE AND G. R. THOMPSON. THIS list of minerals has been compiled from various sources, amongst which may be mentioned The Mineralogical Magazine ; The Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh ; The " Memoirs of the Geological Survey of Scotland"; The Transactions of the Edinburgh Geological Society ; and The Transactions of the Geological Society of Glasgow. The classification with the chemical formulae are based upon Dana's "System of Mineralogy," 1892. A few of the more important local varieties are given, but synonyms have been avoided as far as possible.
