PREFACE
In writing a book of this kind, it is quite impossible to avoid all occasion
of censure. There is not a single part of the scheme which I have
followed that could not be severely criticised, either in one way or in
another. I have followed, in the general arrangement of the families
and in the case of the more critical genera, the classical work of Bent-
ham and Hooker, but I have attempted to quote all the species men-
tioned in the Ninth Edition of the London Catalogue. I am quite
aware that, in classing many of the "species" of this work as subspecies,
I am probably exposing myself to a great deal of perhaps avoidable
blame, but my reason for this course is perfectly conclusive to my own
mind.
No one can doubt that the idea of a " species " depends entirely
on the personal experience of the botanist. None who have worked on
English Botany have had such a wide experience of plants of all nations
as the authors of the Genera Plantarum, and I prefer to take their view
as being in the main more serviceable and orderly than that of those
whose experience, though profound, is confined chiefly to European
plants.
The Record List has involved a vast amount of labour. All the
MSS. of Watson's Topographical Botany in the Natural History Museum
have been consulted, and the records are quoted under the names there
mentioned. I have to thank Mr Carruthers for his kind permission in
this respect. In the case of Dr Davidson's records, I have been put in a
difficult position. His plants are now in California, and I cannot obtain
any information as to who named them. With this exception it may, I
think, be considered certain that the records are entirely correct, for I
have taken the best advice as to all critical species, and spared no trouble
in verification from all sources.
IV. PREFACE.
A great difficulty has been to know how to deal with those forms
which have been in some manner introduced. I have been severely
criticised on this point already. Firsts if I had taken only absolutely
native or indigenous plants, I should have departed from the course
pursued by every other author of a local Flora, and been very severely
blamed for carelessness in not doing the work thoroughly. Secondly^ as
I have admitted every species now found established in a wild condition,
however introduced, I shall be of course exposed to those who say that
only well established plants should be admitted in a local Flora.
The criterion I have taken is the establishment in a healthy condition
of self-sown plants. None other is really of value, and certain interest-
ing problems could not have been studied, if these doubtful forms had
not been included. The climate of the county is so genial, that these
introduced plants are exceedingly abundant, and exceedingly difficult
to tell from plants undoubtedly native to Scotland. I do not know of
any other method of treating this question, which does not either on the
one side or on the other involve serious error.
In citing localities I have tried to pass, in the case of Maritime
Plants^ from the Mull of Galloway, along the coast of Glencaple, and
thence to the English Border. The three great valleys are then taken
in order, and the reader is supposed to pass up the Western and down
the Eastern bank. Further subdivision than that here given did not
seem to me of any practical use. The Cargen, Cairn, etc., are in-
dubitably part of Nithsdale, just as the JV, and Kirtle are quite
characteristically Annandale.
Of course no work of this nature can ever be complete. The
London Catalogue shows a considerable growth in two years, and is still
growing. I have chosen to produce this work as it stands, partly because
the information is quite correct and will undoubtedly be of assistance,
and partly because six years of African travel has greatly told on
pedestrian efficiency, and I know that it could not be appreciably
improved by my own exertions.
The amount of assistance received from my local friends will be
visible to all those who read the Flora. I must thank all heartily for
their kind and valuable help. Perhaps one of the pleasantest remem-

brances at the close of such a work is^that of the many happy days
spent in congenial companionship with fellow-students in botany. Mr
M'Andrew, Mr Johnstone, the Misses Hannay, and Mr Bell are best de-
scribed as part authors of the work; but I have had the greatest delight in
finding that the older Botanists of Dumfriesshire were far more thorough
and correct than is perhaps agreeable to some of those amongst us now.
It is a pleasure to rescue their names from oblivion, and to put their notes
in a form accessible to all. The Kev. E. F. and W. R. Linton have helped
me very greatly with the critical Hawkweeds, and other forms. Mr
Brunetti kindly named all the Diptera (I had asked Mr Verrall, who
was, however, unable to spare the time), and Mr R. Service the Hymen-
optera and Coleoptera. The plants collected by most of those
named below are now in the Herbarium of the Natural History and
Antiquarian Society of Dumfries, and open to inspection. I have also
to thank Mr A. Bennett for much kind assistance.
The introductions by Mr Robert Seivice on the Hymenoptera,
and the Geology by Messrs Peach and Home, speak for themselves.
I am very conscious myself of the value which they give to the follow-
ing pages ; and my thanks are also due to Mr Andson for the data,
gathered by many years' careful observation, which we have brought
together as an account of the Meteorology. The map has been
specially obtained at great trouble, and it is to be hoped that it will be
found satisfactory.
With this Herbarium and this Flora, I think there is scarcely any
county in Britain so easily studied as mine, and it is with the most perfect
confidence that I look to future Dumfriesians to carry out and prove
some of the problems suggested herein.

INTRODUCTORY.
TOPOGRAPHY.
The County consists roughly of the major part of the three great
river valleys — Nithsdale, Annandale, and Eskdale ; a certain amount
of the first is included in the Stewartry of Kirkcudbright, and another
portion of the upper part of Nithsdale belongs to Lanarkshire. A
glance at the map will show that the lower portion of Eskdale belongs
to Cumberland, and most of the Liddel is outside Dumfriesshire.
Hence the County will be seen to be an extremely unnatural one, and
for convenience sake I have attempted to include in the Flora the
whole drainage area of the Nith and Annan, and only followed its
regular boundary in the Southern and Eastern parts, as those parts
of the Esk and Liddel drainage areas which are beyond Dumfriesshire
would be most conveniently studied from Carlisle as a base.
The seaside part of Dumfriesshire is almost entirely composed of
estuarine mud, on which grows an abundance of Armeria, Triglochin,
and Pkntago maritima. This is occasionally broken by sand and
shingle or by a low cliff where the tide has reached, as e.g.^ near Annan,
a considerable hillock of boulder clay. Rocks are only represented by
the concrete at Torduff and the sandstone quays at Annan and Glen-
caple. Hence it is surprising to find that most of the ordinary maritime
plants have been discovered, though they occur usually in a very
scattered and local manner.
It is not unusual in works of this kind to produce a full description
of the general features of the County under review, giving the river
names, general appearance, and other knowledge usually sought for in
guide books. Most of this information is placed under the heads
following, and much will be best found by a careful study of the map.
The valley of the Nith is interesting in every sense. If we include the
Cargen as a part of its drainage area, then the western watershed will
be found a remarkable natural boundary, not only of plants, but of
ethnological and geological value. Civilisation and human imigrants
have followed the line of the Glasgow and South-Western Railway from
the earliest prehistoric times. This is due probably to the depth and
great inland extent of the valley. The 200 feet contour is not reached
before Drumlanrig, and a careful perusal of the Geology will show that
the depression occurred in the early Silurian age. All the valleys are
of extraordinary beauty, but this is only understood by those who have
the patience to go off the high roads and explore. In Nithsdale, the
Glen, Blackwood Linn, the Scaur, and Craighope Linn may be recom-

mended as the l^st examples of lower wood glens, but almost every
burn has a beauty of its own from one end of the dale to the other.
The western watershed begins with CrifTel, over 1800 feet high, but its
continuation is insignificant until the sources of Scaur, Kello, and
Euchan. Queensberry (2285 feet) is the most conspicuous point of
the eastern watershed. Annandale and the Caledonian line is a natural
road of the same kind. Moffat is perhaps the best botanical centre in
the County, as from it all the characteristic habitats of the district can
be easily reached.
These include the Beld Craig Linn and Garpol, both typical wood-
glens, and the beautiful corries of Black's Hope and Grey Mare's Tail,
above which are the highest elevations in the county.
Eskdale, between Langholm and Canobie Bridge, is the most beauti-
ful wooded valley that the writer has seen in any part of the world.
Higher up in the Eskdalemuirs, the scenery is desolate and wild in the
extreme. Meikledale is an interesting corrie, not unlike those on Moffat
water, but such ravines are rare in this valley.
Originally the County probably consisted of deciduous forest,
broken along the river sides by stretches of marshy soil or peat moss.
I believe this forest probably continued from nearly sea level to about
800 feet, from which level to that of the present peat haggs there may
have been, either after a belt of conifers or throughout, rough grass and
heather. The succession found in most parts of the world of
deciduous forest, conifers, and heather or moss may be traced there-
fore without much difficulty. Arable land now replaces the deciduous
forest, which still persists along the rivers and burns up to 2200 feet.
The hill farms and permanent pasture represent probably what was
once rough grass and heather, but man has not yet been able to bring
the peat-haggs into cultivation. These are laid down in a capping of
peat some ten to twelve feet thick, though varying enormously in depth
over all the higher hills in Dumfriesshire. Peat-mosses are found at all
elevations, from the Solway to that of Loch Skene and higher, but I
can find nowhere a satisfactory explanation of this formation.
I must refer the reader to the map for the source and tributaries of
the three great rivers, Nith, Annan, and Esk, as the impression of these
three large valleys is by far the most valuable for all practical purposes.
THE HABITAT.
It was chiefly on account of the great importance, to my mind, of a
study of the suitability of plants to their habitat, climate, environment,
milieu or monde ambiant (for all these terms really express the same
thing), that I undertook this Flora. I soon found that in this country
it was not possible to obtain a very clear idea of those tendencies to

variation which are produced by climate, mainly because the climate
itself does not vary in a sufficiently marked manner, even in such a
diversified area as one finds in Dumfriesshire. My original scheme has
been therefore modified more than once, and in its final form consists
in pointing out the following factors for every species — soil, exposure to
wind, and exposure to sun. Insect visitors, really an essential part of
the environment, are treated of by themselves.
These three leading factors of the habitat are found inextricably
mixed in practice. The most usual combinations in Dumfriesshire are
the following : —
1. The Seashore (sand, shingle, estuarine mud flats, and rarely cliffs
of boulder clay ; or, in Galloway, of rock).
2. Holms (flat river-alluvium) — roadsides and arable fields on boul-
der clay.
3. Ordinary Arable Land extending from sea level to about 800, or
rarely 900 feet.
4. Permanent Pasture or sheep farms, chiefly on silurian rock or
drift, and extending from about 800 feet to the lower level of
the peat-haggs.
5. Woods and Linns ^ from about sea level to nearly 800 feet.
6. Corries and Glens, or mountain ravines, from 800 to 2200 feet.
7. Peat Mosses and Ifaggs, at almost all elevations from nearly the
sea level at Lochar Moss, and forming a thick capping over
all the highest hills of the district.
8. Grains and Scaurs of bare whinstone rock or mudstones ; occa-
sionally screes and accumulations of broken boulders and
stones.
9. Railway Stations and Tracks, as well as waste ground generally.
10. Lochs and Rivers.
A large proportion of the Flora is rigorously confined to one or
other of these divisions. Unfortunately the meteorological and geolo-
gical factors are so insufficiently known that one cannot in any manner
obtain data of the degree of moisture of the soil or atmosphere, the wind
exposure, the amount of sunlight received, the porosity and fertility of
the soil, or even its geological character in any one of them. Without
distinct data on these points it is useless to attempt to draw up statistics
of the general characters of leaf, branching, or inflorescence found in
these particular habitats which would be, if possible, of enormous
importance.
As regards plants, the diff"erent eff'ect of light, heat, and wind ex-
posure can scarcely be distinguished in the field, because, e.g., shelter
from wind brings in its consequence rank vegetation, whether as a wood
or as in a corn field, and rank vegetation means a certain amount of
shade and a moist atmosphere. Shade in the same way involves wind-
shelter and a lower temperature. It is for this reason that exposure is
the most convenient term available.
XU. THE HABITAT.
The effect of exposure is most marked in the divisions one and
eight. Some characteristic desert adaptations, such as the rosette type
of plant, dense twiggy, cushion-Hke shrublets (which are really, I think,
to be considered as a bunch of rosettes supported on small branches),
fleshy leaves, and a coat of woolly hairs, are found both on the seashore
and on exposed rock ledges, as e.g.y Raven craigs in Black's Hope.
Spines and thorns, on the other hand, as well as the nameless type
represented by the seaside Euphorbias and Chenopodiaceae, do not, to
my knowledge, occur on the high exposed mountain ledges.
This is probably because the last two are special adaptations against
or effects of strong sunlight, which may injure the tissues or chlorophyll,
while the others are protections against transpiration generally, whether
due to the wind or sun.
The actual humidity of the atmosphere in the immediate neighbour-
hood of the sea must, unless I am greatly mistaken, be at some period
of the 24 hours far below that of the low-lying country and hills, and it
is not till the exposed rock summits of about 1500 to 2200 feet are
reached that there is the same amount of transpiration.
The same condition of exposure, though it is not quite so clearly
marked, is obvious on (division nine) railway lines and all waste ground
which is kept clear of plants. It is obvious that in such places the con-
ditions of temperature and radiation of heat are extreme, and possibly
this explains the presence of such plants as Linaria minor, Tragopogon,
and Hieracium aurantiacum, which become yearly more abundant
along the different systems.
The opposite extreme, that is of shade and shelter, is most marked
in number five, but in parts of number six there is considerably more
moisture even than in the lower woods, and I am rather doubtful
whether the separation is entirely justifiable.
Probably the typical peat plants are more thoroughly represented in
Dumfriesshire than in any other county. Whether their characteristics
are due to the spongy water-holding nature of peat, to its antiseptic
property, or to the large amount of decaying organic substance, is quite
unknown to me. The Droseras, Utricularias, and Pinguicula seem to
depend on the latter quality, and possibly the antiseptic property is
responsible for the limited flora, but it is not safe to say more on the
subject.
The effects of a clay and a sandy soil are quite distinct in their
extreme forms, but as one finds them under ordinary circumstances it
becomes excessively difficult to trace the effect on vegetation in any one
field; one may discover typical sand-loving plants in the stony places of
an alluvial holm and along the roadsides, where dust and road sweepings
are perpetually heaped against the bank, one may find all the clay-loving
plants in a sandy district.
The only habitat which appears to me to be explained by soil is that
of Helianthemum vulgare. Its curiously isolated position may con-

ceivably be due to the drift, after passing Lanarkshire, having left along
the lelt bank of the Annan Valley and the Beeftub considerable
quantities of limestone fragments ; but I am not sure if this explanation
is correct. (See Geology). The present condition of the study of
botanical environment is so chaotic and speculative that it is not
advisable to point out more than these obvious factors.
FLOWERING PERIOD.
My data for this are chiefly due to the excellent observations made
for me by Messrs Johnstone, G. Bell, and J. Shaw. These are only
intended to be approximate, and in cases where the two former have
observed the same plant there is sometimes a difference of six weeks,
which is quite what one would expect. I did not realise at first the
importance of this question, both as proving that a definite " thermal
constant " is required before any given flower appears, and also in
practically isolating two varieties of the same species which grow under
different conditions of exposure. Observations are much required on
all these points, and both the hour of the day at which flowers open
and close, as well as the commencement and end of the flowering
season, must sometimes contribute to complete isolation of incipient
varieties and subspecies.
INSECT VISITORS.
The catching of insect visitors has probably occupied more than
nine-tenths of the time which I have spent on the work. I soon found
that no human being could expect to go through the whole Flora,
species by species, as it would scarcely be possible to do six species
thoroughly in one season, while the number here alluded to is nearly
900. I have therefore attempted to give an idea of the more common
visitors of about 270 species. Miss Hannay, Mr Armstrong, and Miss
Ethel Taylor have given me most valuable assistance, and a very
important paper by Mr J. C. Willis''^ has greatly pleased me, because
my own observations are very markedly supported by his, which were
taken independently at Auchencairn.
The result is to leave me more impressed by the importance of this
study, for it is obvious that for the distribution of many plants, certain
insect visitors are absolutely essential. They are also to my mind
important agents in the isolation of varieties, for though the same plant
may grow inside a wood and in the neighbouring field, it is quite certain
that the same insects will not visit its flowers in each case, and hence
these plants are absolutely isolated.

XIV. INSECT VISITORS — ACULEATE HYMENOPTERA.
I have much doubt as to wind-fertilised flowers. I have seen
insects on Grasses, Sedges, Plantago, Thalictrum, and of course on
Willows. It is obvious that if two flowers of Thalictrum are separated
by five feet, the chance is one to thirty that a pollen grain should go
within a foot of the right direction, and the wind and gravitation pro-
bably diminish the probability to an indefinitely small extent. If an
insect is, for any reason, on one, the chances are ten to one that it will
go to the next visible flower.
I should, if I had drawn this introduction out at the beginning of
my work, have added tables showing the proportions of Hymenoptera,
Diptera, etc., but now this does not seem to be advisable. No one
would have supposed that a plant which is visited by one butterfly, four
species of humble bee, and two Syrphids was anything but a red or
purple Corolliflor, whereas these were all caught on the common
bramble, Rubus fruticosus* I am, however {vide Labiatae and Caryo-
phylleae), firmly convinced that the shape of every flower as well as the
modes of dehiscence, general arrangement, and so on, are entirely suited
to the average insect visitor of the particular species. In most cases the
corolla is nearly an exact mould of the shape and motions of the head
and proboscis of the average visitor ; it is very rarely the shape of its
head at rest. In fact, granted growth of the corolla and the obvious
modifications due to mechanical strains and stresses, most flowers seem
to have suited themselves exactly to these shapes and motions, like a fox-
glove to a humble bee or an old glove to its wearer's thumb.
Much as I should like to uphold Professor Henslow's theories as
to the exact effect of probing in stimulating the flow of honey and hairs,
the subject does not seem to me proved, and scarcely to be proved,
without exceedingly delicate and difficult experiments.
It is not too much to say that the knowledge of British Hymenoptera,
and particularly Diptera, is disgracefully behind that of British Botany.
I have been most l^ortunate, however, in obtaining the invaluable assist-
ance of Mr Robert Service for the former and of Mr E. Brunetti for the
latter. These gentlemen have named all the insects cited under my
name, that of Misses Hannay, Miss Taylor, or Mr R. Armstrong, and I
have to sincerely thank them for this.
THE ACULEATE HYMENOPTERA OF MID-SOLWAY.
By ROBERT SERVICE.
Amongst all the vast multitudes of the Insect tribes, I think it will
be generally conceded that in variety of habits, in the high intelligence
displayed in their social intercourse, and in beauty of form and colour-
ing, the Aculeate Hymenoptera stand unrivalled. Unfortunately, with

but few exceptions, this district is not at all rich in species, and still less
in the numbers in which the species that do occur are represented.
Of course, owing to the very insufficient way in which the very few
collectors who have studied these insects have of necessity examined
the district at large, it is certain that many species have escaped obser-
vation ; but enough is known to prove that we are comparatively poor
in the classes under notice. This is doubtless caused by the general
absence of suitable sandy soil. The district of whose Aculeates we
propose to give an account may be stated broadly as the country that
lies betwixt Annandale on the east and the valley of the Dee on the
west. It is thus the mid portion of the faunal territory, known to all
Scottish Naturalists as " Solway," being one of the zoological divisions
into which the late Dr Buchanan White so admirably mapped out
Scotland for faunistic purposes. In the meantime, owing to the almost
complete absence of materials, there is no use in extending our present
remarks outside the limits of Mid-Solway. The nomenclature employed
is that of Mr Edward Saunders — Catalogue of British Hymenoptera
(Aculeata), 1883.
The Ants stand par excellence^ not only at the head of the Aculeates,
but, in the stage of evolution to which they have attained in respect to
their well-ordered communities, and in the high degree of intelligence
reached by the individual, they are unquestionably in advance of all
other insects whatsoever.
Formica cunicularia is the first species on our list, and is fairly
common. It varies much in size, as do so many other species of ants,
and some of the " races," as they are termed, have received names,
having been considered at one time to be distinct species. Lasius niger
is the small ant so abundant everywhere, and sometimes so troublesome
to gardeners when it takes up its abode in glass-houses. Tapinoma
erratica is in general appearance similar to the last named, but is much
darker, and it has also some structural peculiarities. It is a very scarce
species here. Myrmica is a genus of small ants that is represented here,
as elsewhere in Britain, by a single extremely variable species. No
less than five very distinct " races " are recognised by Mr Edward
Saunders, the great authority on the Aculeates. Of these I have very
commonly taken — indeed they are the commonest of all our ants —
Ruginodis, Scabrinodis, and Lsevinodis. Sulcinodis and Lobicornus
have not been detected as yet. Leptothorax acervorum is a small
species sometimes found in little communities under bark or rotten
stumps in the Mabie woods. I have not found it elsewhere. The last
ant amongst our local species is a very interesting one, inasmuch as it
has only been known to exist here within the last ten years or so. It is
the Monomorium Pharaonis — rather a startlingly long name for such a
minute creature. It is confined to places where it finds sufficient heat,
such as bake-houses, hot-houses, and dwelling-houses kept at a
sufficiently high temperature, Lately I was called in to see this ant
XVI. THE ACULEATE HYMENOPTERA OF MID-SOLWAY.
at home in a house which it had over-run from cellar to attic. Its
myriads were past comprehension, and in some places it distinctly
coloured the white wall with its hosts.
The Fossorial portion of the Aculeates next claims our attention.
Tiphia minuta, a very small dark species, has been taken several times
on the flowers of goutweed (^gopodium podagraria). Tiphia femorata,
the other member of the genus, has been taken near Moffat frequenting
the flowers of various Umbellifers. Amongst the Pompilidae we have a
few local species, these being Pompilus plumbeus, of which an occasional
specimen is to be seen on Umbelliferous flowers ; P. viaticus, a few in
August near Mabie, and P. fuscus, also captured at Mabie. Two other
species of Pompilidae were originally described by the late Frederick
Smith from specimens captured here. One of these is P. acuminatus,
found in Kirkpatrick-Juxta many years ago by the late Rev. W. Little ;
the other is P. approximatus, and was found at Eccles by Dr Sharp
during his residence there. Neither species has been met with since
by any other collector. Passing over a large number of Aculeates that
are not found in these counties, we next come to the genus Pemphredon.
All of the three British species, viz., lugubris, unicolor, and lethifer are
found, the last named being quite common. It can be most easily
collected by looking for broken bramble stems, in which the exposed
end has been burrowed in, or perforated. These are almost certain to
contain larvae of this species, and if the bramble stems are cut off" and
kept, the perfect insects will duly make their appearance at the end of
June or early in July. Mimesa bicolor is found not infrequently.
Mimesa Dahlbomi was taken by Mr Scott-Elliot at the Mill Loch,
Lochmaben, in June on flowers of Cicuta virosa. One or two specimens
only of Harpactus tumidus have been taken. Nysson dimidiatus,
though the rarest of the genus, is the only one I have taken. I found
a solitary individual on Ragwort. The others ought to be found here,
but so far have not been recorded.
A very pretty species is Gorytes mystaceus, and it is common in
most seasons. It provisions its nest with the green larvae of the Cuc-
koo spit, or " Gowkspittle " (Anthrophora spumaria), so abundant on
herbage throughout the summer months. Mellinus arvensis is another
very common insect. It burrows regularly in the sides of potato furrows
in dry sandy districts, and is, like the previous species, a carnivorous in-
sect. M. sabulosus has only been taken on one occasion. Only a few re-
presentatives of the great genus Crabro are to be met with, but where they
do occur they are tolerably plentiful. C. palmipes is a minute species that
may be collected in quantity, skipping about on the leaves of brambles,
or on similar surfaces in the tangled growths about sunny lanes and
hedgerows. They may often be seen preying upon the tiniest Diptera.
C. varius has been taken, but is scarce. It occurs about flowers on rail-
way banks. A few specimens of C. elongatulus were found on one
occasion on the moss road near Mabie. C. dimidiatus has only occurred
THE ACULEATE HYMENOPTERA OF MID-SOLWAY. XVll.
in single specimens as yet, C. cribrarius is a most handsome species ; it
is very common on composite and umbelliferous flowers. A few indi-
viduals of C. peltarius have been got in the Mabie plantations some
years ago, and the same may be said of C. vagus, although it is perhaps
rather oftener met with. C. chrysostoma, a species with a splendidly
golden coloured fringe of hairs on the upper lip, is frequent, and seems to
be attached to rotten willow trunks. Oxybelus uniglumis used to be
taken near Moffat by the late Rev. W. Little.
Next in order are the Wasps, Social and Solitary. The Social Wasps
are very fully represented indeed. Vespa vulgaris, V. rufa, V. germanica
are all equally common, and of general distribution, appearing in some
seasons in enormous swarms, and at such periods doing considerable
damage to ripe fruit. The good they always do in destroying vast
quantities of noxious flies and larvae, as well as in acting as general
scavengers, is apt to be over-looked. There can be no question that the
good qualities of Wasps far out-balance any evil they do, but this is
very often lost sight of. V. norvegica is also an abundant species.
Its small hanging nests are often hung on low bushes and similar situ-
ations, and are a subject of dread to those ignorant of wasp habits.
V. sylvestris is rather a rare species, while V. arborea does not seem to
be found here at all. It might be as well to correct the rather common
error that V. crabro, the Hornet, is found in this region. It has never
been seen here, nor is it ever likely to be, as it is strictly a southern
species.
Of the solitary species v/e have Odynerus spinipes, O. parietum, O.
trimarginatus, O. parietinus, and O. gracihs. The last named seems to
be plentiful near Rockcliffe in Colvend, but none of the others are really
common except O. parietinus. This species concludes our meagre list of
Solitary Wasps.
The Bees proper come next in order for consideration, and although
neither in species nor in the number of individuals with which they are
represented are these at all abundant, still they yield to no ether division
of the insecta in the interest attached to their varied and sometimes
very curious life histories. Of the genus Colletes, we have C. fodiens and
C. succincta. The former is usually taken on ragwort bloom, and the
latter has been caught in Lochar Moss on the flowers of the heather.
Of Prosopis, which comprises no less than nine British species, I have
never taken or seen a single individual ; but Mr Scott-Elliot has had
the good fortune to capture a male and female of Prosopis hyalinata on
flowers. Sphecodes is a very pretty genus of small red and black bees
found burrowing in garden walks. S. gibbus is fairly common ; a few
specimens of S. pilifrons have been taken at intervals; while S.ephippium
and S. subquadratus are seldom met with.
The great genus Halictus is very well represented throughout this
.district, and the active little bees that belong to it are very numerous
and conspicuous on many kinds of flowers. On the flowers of the

dandelion, very early in spring, the females of H. rubicundus are pretty
sure to be seen. The males, as is the case with this sex throughout the
genus, do not put in an appearance till mid-summer, and on fine
autumnal days they are very abundant on ragwort and other late
flowering plants. H. leucozonius has been taken near Moffat, and so also
has H. quadrinotata, both by the late Rev. W. Little. H. laevigatus is a
very scarce member of the genus ; it has been taken at several places in
Troqueer. H. cylindrirus and H. albipes are very closely related ; both
species are very abundant, and their colonies may be seen on almost
every dry pathway. H. subfasciatus seems rather scarce ; it has been
taken on ragwort. H. villosulus is very commonly found on dandelion
and hawkweed flowers. H. nitidiusculus is a common species, generally
found at the flowers of weeds in waste places in company with H. Smeath-
manellus. H. minutus, H. leucopus, and H. morio are very small species
foundin some abundance andofgeneral distribution. Andrenais thelargest
genus of British bees, numbering, according to the catalogue of Mr E.
Saunders, no less than forty-eight native species. Many of them are
as "like as two peas," and it is in such cases almost hopeless for the
novice to attempt to name his captures. By and bye, however, he will
begin to see and appreciate their differences, and when the collector
once learns to discriminate between the more closely allied species he
will find their study a very fascinating pursuit. Andrena albicans is
common everywhere, frequenting dandelion and chickweed flowers.
The males have a special preference for the flowers of Mahonia
aquifolium in shrubberies. A. trimmerana is an interesting species that
builds its nests in old walls, especially where the lime is crumbling out
from betwixt the stones. In such places it is not infrequent in May.
A. Clarkella is a particularly pretty species found early in April as a rule,
but occasionally even in March. I have taken it in several localities,
making its burrows on sandy pathways. A. nigroaenea has been cap-
tured only once, when I took a specimen at Mabie on willow catkins in
April. Both forms of A. gwynana occur very freely, the var. bicolor be-
ing very partial to flowers of the harebell. I have taken one or two
specimens of A. lapponica. This species was first captured in Britain,
at Kirkpatrick-Juxta, by the late Rev. W. Little. A. varians seems to be
rather scarce. A. fucata is common in Lochar Moss, and some other
locahties. Only a few individuals of A. nigriceps have been captured at
some localities on the Galloway side of the Nith. A. denticulata, though
apparently a rare species in Britain, is very common here. One speci-
men of A. tridentata has been taken. At certain spots there are immense
colonies of A. albicrus. I know no other of the wild bees that is found
in our district in such multitudes. One such place is on the Moss, just
behind Douievale House. A. coitana is a small species that is found
everywhere. A. minutula is another species equally common, its var.
parvula being found in about equal numbers. A. nana is another of
the small species that may be captured in some seasons in great abun-»
dance, A. afzeliella occurs freely near Craigs, and the last on our list of
THE ACULEATE HYMENOPTERA OF MID-SOLWAY. XIX.
local species, A. Wilkella, is rare, only one or two specimens having been
taken on dandelions near Dalscairth.
The next division that comes in for enumeration is that of the Cuc-
koo Bees, forming the genus Nomada. Superficially they resemble
slender wasps, being mostly more or less banded with black and yellow.
Their economy is most interesting. Stated generally, these bees attach
themselves to certain other species of wild bees, depositing their eggs in
their cells, and leaving the eggs and young larvae to the care of other
species, so that their life history is not unlike that of the cuckoo
amongst birds. Hence their name of Cuckoo Bees. Nomada solida-
ginis, N. alternata and N. obtusifrons are each very commonly found.
N. lateralis, N. fabriciana, and N. flavoguttata are frequent, though not
numerous. A few specimens of N. ruficornis and N. furva have been
caught, while of N. roberjeottiana only one specimen has been taken.
The genus Caelioxys comes next on our local list, and of its repre-
sentatives we have C. vectis, C. rufescens, and C. elongata, all occurring
with tolerable frequency.
The fine genus Megachile is well represented here in numbers of
individuals, if not in species. M. Willughbiella is very common every-
where ; this is the bee which is seen so frequently making its burrows
in rotten trees and stumps. M. centuncularis is the familiar " leaf-cutter "
bee ; it makes its burrows in wood or in old walls, but occasionally in
the ground ; it lines its cells in the most artistic way with litde round
pieces neatly clipped out of the leaves of bushes, those of the rose by
preference.
Anthidium manicatum is to me personally the most interesting of
insects, for it was probably the first that attracted my attention. Its
strange mode of courtship, much akin to what is related of the love-
making (?) of the Australian aborigine, I used often to watch when I
was a very small boy indeed. But at that time I had no idea when I
saw the headlong rush of the male, and saw him clutch his partner in
such a vicious looking embrace and observed him bear her aloft into
the air, that his intention was anything else than to devour her forth-
with. A favourite occupation of this species is that of scraping the
tomentum off such plants as supply this material, making it up into
little bundles, and then carrying it off for lining its nests with. The
species is common in most situations suitable for it. I have nowhere
seen it in such abundance as upon the bramble flowers in the loaning
that leads up from Rockcliffe past the avenue to Baron's Craig.
It is somewhat remarkable that the genus Osmia should be un-
represented in the district, at anyrate so far as my experience goes.
There are certainly specimens of Osmia fulviventris in the collection of
the Rev. W. Little, now in my possession, but they have no data
attached, and so it is uncertain whether they are of local origin or not.
Of the Anthophorae I have only taken Anthophora retusa, of which
I took specimens on one occasion near Threave Castle.
XX. THE ACULEATE HYMENOPTERA OF MID-SOLWAY.
There is no more conspicuous tribe of insects at all times, from the
opening of- the leaves in spring until the chill airs of October have
turned the foliage to the brillance of autumn hues, than the Humble
Bees. With the flowering of the willow catkins in March, and often
much earlier, the large fine coloured females of Bombus terrestris
are out in force from their hibernating quarters. Their noisy hum,
as they buzz through amongst the willow branches to sip the
fragrant greenish-coloured nectar from the catkins, is the most
welcome music to the naturahst's ear. This species is usually
considerably in advance of the others, but if the weather continues
mild, B. hortorum, so readily distinguished by the length of its
face, soon follows. And then one species after another puts in an
appearance as the spring advances, till when we have seen the beauti-
ful B. distinguendus drinking at the bottom of the rhododendron
chalices, we may conclude that all our old friends amongst the Humble
Bees are once more in full flight. As yet there is, however, of the
different sexual forms none, except the old females to be found. These,
fertilised in autumn, have been hibernating all through the cold season,
till a suitable temperature and other conditions call them forth in spring.
Then they flit about looking for a suitable site for a domicile, and pre-
pare for setting up house. Their nidus may be in an old mouse hole,
in a dyke, or in a bank or slope, or under a stump, or it may even be on
quite open level ground if a suitable aperture into and underneath the
surface soil can be discovered. That is in the case of the ground
builders. Other species build on the surface amongst the herbage, and
make a very neat and snug domed dwelling of felted grass and vegetable
fibres, very often adopting to this purpose the nest of the Short-tailed
Field Vole. Many times I have seen nests of B. muscorum built inside
those of birds. The nests of the common wren, yellow hammer, tit-
lark, robin and willow wax bier, I have found filled up with a nest of
the last named species of Bombus, and more than once I have seen
where the mtruder had built her own nest over the eggs of the right-
ful owner. In such cases the birds had in all probability deserted
their nests before the bees took possession, for one can hardly think the
birds would give way to such a tiny burglar, and one, moreover, that
would furnish such a nice little eatable morsel. Nests being fairly into
shape, cell-building and egg laying proceed in due course, then the
young grubs hatch and go through their interesting series of transfor-
mations, and by the middle of May, the workers of an early species,
like B. pratorum, may be noted enjoying their first flight. Within a
fortnight or three weeks later, workers of all the species found here
may be observed, with perhaps the exception of B. distinguendus,
which is a somewhat late species. Males are not developed till far on in
the summer, indeed autumn has fairly arrived before there is any great
show of the male Humble Bees. This sex is in all the species, as it is in
so many other families of insects, very much smaller than the female sex,
and is even smaller, as a rule, than the workers or neute/s (which are
THE ACULEATE HYMENOPTERA OF MID-SOLWAY. XXI.
really abortive females). To compensate for their lesser bulk, most of the
species have males of more diversified and fully brighter colours than
those which adorn the females. Thus the males of Bombus terrestris,
pratorum, soroensis, Derhamellus, and lapidarius, are much prettier
than their respective partners. All the species already mentioned are
plentiful and generally distributed, with the exception of B.distinguendus,
a species that is by no means a common one, although it is almost
always present wherever rhododendrons are in bloom. Then we have,
in addition to the foregoing Bombi, B. cognatus, a very beautiful species,
of which I have seen only a very few examples. B. latreillellus is another
species of great rarity hereabouts; while B. schrimshiranus, though scarce,
may be found by diligent search. There is thus a total of eleven
species that occur in this district out of the entire number of sixteen
that are known as British species. Doubtless one or two more species
may yet be added to our local list by an assiduous collector.
Nearly allied to the Humble Bees, and so similar in general aspect
to them that most folks never regard them as anything else, are those
curious parasites known to systematists by the generic name of Psithyrus
(Apathus). They have quite a strange history. They make no nests
for themselves, each of the five British species — all of which are found
in this district — being attached to certain species of Humble Bees. In
appearance they are exactly similar to Bombi, one main distinction
being that they are destitute of the corbicula, or pollen basket along the
outer portion of the hind tibiae, which when filled is so conspicuous in
the females and workers of the Humble Bees ; and not making any nests
for themselves and also leaving their young, like the cuckoos, to be
brought up by others, no workers are therefore required, so the sexes
consist of males and females only. They are much later in making
their appearance in spring than their hosts, for a wise provision of
Nature keeps them slumbering in their hybernacula until the nests of
the Humble Bees are fairly set going for the season. Then the females
of Psithyrus come forth and search for the nests of the particular
species of Bombus to which they are assigned. Having found what is
required they have no difficulty in entering, for they are so similar to
the rightful inmates of the unsuspecting household that they enter it as
freely as if it was all their own. Once in, eggs are laid in the cells pre-
pared for those of the Bombi, and the latter, never guessing at the
presence of foster children, bring up the young larvae with all the care
lavished on their own brood. Towards the latter end of the summer,
the old females of Psithyrus give place to a new brood that consists of
both females and males. They occur in great abundance on all the
wild flowers during the autumn months, the females that have been
paired at once proceeding into winter quarters, while the males die off
gradually till they finally disappear with the setting in of cold weather.
As to their relative abundance and distribution : — Psithyrus rupestris,
which is said to be solely attached to Bombus lapidarius, seems to be

very scarce throughout this district. P. vestaHs, which lives with B.
terrestris, is very common on thistles and other flowers in autumn.
P. barbutellus is rather a rare species, so far as my experience goes ; it
frequents the nests of B. pratorum, B. schrimshiranus, and B. Der-
hamellus, according to some authorities. P. Campestris is common and
is found wherever its host, B. hortorum, dwells. P. quadricolor lives
with B. pratorum and B. schrimshiranus, and is fairly common in some
locaUties.
Such is our review of the genera and species of Aculeate Hymenop-
tera that have been taken by a very few collectors and observers in the
district betwixt Annan and the Dee. Many more species remain to
reward the labours of those who diligently search out the haunts of the
wild bee. A rich field, almost untrodden, lies ready for exploration by
any student who cares to take up one of the most fascinating branches
of entomological study.
METEOROLOGY.
By the Rev. Wm. ANDSON and G. F. SCOTT-ELLIOT.
The Meteorology of Dumfriesshire, as a whole, cannot be easily
described, for there are no records from, e.^.^ the Moffat Hills or the
Merrick, and without these, it is scarcely possible to understand the
bearings of the peculiarities shown in the county.
The following tables show the results which are at present available.
The death of Mr Dudgeon of Cargen has been a severe loss to meteo-
rology, as well as to many other sciences, and the first table which gives
the mean of no less than thirty years' observations (1860-1890) taken by
him, is one of extreme value.

METEOROLOGV.
XXV.
The heavy rainfall at Glenlee is probably due to its situation on
the eastern side of a hilly region where many of the summits are over
2000 feet in altitude.
The westerly and south-westerly winds laden with moisture from the
Atlantic meet these hills, and are forced up into a higher stratum of the
atmosphere, where they expand under the lower pressure there existing.
Consequently the aqueous vapour is condensed, and heavy rain falls on
the hills, and particularly their eastern slopes. There was a good example
of this on a smaller scale in 1888 at Drumpark, where 47*20 inches fell,
as compared with only 37 inches at Dumfries.
It is also commonly observed that across the watershed of the Nith
valley, for example at Colvend, there is frequently no rain, while there
is continuous wet weather about Dumfries.
The direction of the wind seems to be chiefly westerly. Thus the
mean of nine years gives as below : —

Cyclones passing over the county almost invariably pass from S.W.
or S.S.W., to N.W. and N. The wind veers from the former to the
latter direction as the depression passes. It is possible this may account
for the curious difference betwixt the wind observations, Dumfries
having 71 south-westerly wind days, Drumlanrig 57, and Wanlockhead
only 8.
No reports of wind at Wanlockhead for months of April, July, Aujfust, and September.
XXVI. METEOROLOGY.
•
All inhabitants of the district are, of course, aware that the climate
is peculiarly mild and genial. Unfortunately sunshine-recorders are
neither common nor in every way satisfactory, but the results given in a
paper by Mr H. N. Dickson in the Scottish Geographical Magazine^
August, 1893, are well worth considering as exemplifying the mildness
of our climate. This paper contains a map in which curves represent
the amount of sunshine (by the Campbell Stokes burning recorder)
received at various points in the British Islands. The three
counties receive between 1300 and 1400 hours of sunshine out of
4400 hours "possible sunshine." In this respect they are only
approached in Scotland by Banff, Elgin, and Aberdeen. If we
follow the lines representing the same amount of sunshine through
England, the result is astonishing. Salisbury Plain, the Weald
of Sussex, and Greenwich are practically in the same position as
Dumfriesshire, while no part of the east coast between Montrose and
Skegness in Lincolnshire is so fortunate in sunshine as the Burrow
head. Nottingham has less than, e.g., Drumlanrig and Dumfriesshire
generally, and this also seems to be the case with the whole of York-
shire, Durham, and Northumberland. In fact, so far as sunshine goes,
Wigtownshire particularly should have as genial a climate as such health
resorts as Aberystwith and the Malvern Hills.
This probably explains why an enormous number of escapes,
such as Datura Stramonium, Gagea lutea, and Tragopogon porrifolius
are found in the Flora. I should not wonder if observation were to
show that in the neighbourhood of Whitcoombe and Loch Skene, a
small tract of country exists in which not more than 1200 hours' sun-
shine is received annually, and if this is found to be the case, then the
three counties contain every variation found in Scotland.
On the whole, the Solway, resulting from a great depression which
separates the granites and whinstones of Dalbeattie and Kirkcudbright
from those of Scafell and Cumberland, acts in a double manner. The
clouds keep to the course of the mountains from the Cumberland Hills
round by Whitecoombeand the Lead Hills, to Carsphairn and the Merrick,
and hence give us more than our correct allowance of sunshine ; and
this explains also the abundance of westerly winds and the resulting
humidity.
On the other hand, the Gulf Stream probably assists in the pro-
duction of the complex currents round the Mull of Galloway. Some of
these currents, to judge by the Flora and garden experiments, must bring
a very warm climate with them round the shore of Galloway. Obser-
vations at Kingholm and Dumfries on the temperature of the river,
as contrasted with similar observations at the Island of Little Ross,
show ,in fact that in autumn and winter the temperature of the Solway
is considerably higher than that of the rivers which flow into it. The

The width of the estuary being about two miles at Little Ross, it is
probable that these means may be considered applicable to the Solway
Firth rather than the estuary.
At Little Ross the water temperature was higher than that of the air
in seven months out of twelve, and the difference ranged to from 2*2° to
2 '9°. The mean monthly temperature of the rivers, on the other hand,
was never higher than that of the air, though there were occasional days
in which the water was warmer.

The difference between the Nith and Dee observations are probably
due to two circumstances. First, those of the Nith were taken in the
year 1889, ^^^ those of the Dee in 1890; and secondly, the hour of
observation was as a rule later, and nearer the maximum heat of the
day on the Dee than in the case of the Nith. The observations of the
temperature of the Dee were taken at Langland by the Rev. W. T. Gordon,
minister of the parish ; and those of the estuary or Solway at the island
of Little Ross, by Wm. Macdonald, the lighthouse keeper there, and
in both cases with great regularity.

and along the fertile region bordering the Solway, the County of Dum-
fries is composed of Silurian strata, forming part of the ancient Silurian
XXVlll. METEOROLOGY — GEOLOGY OF DUMFRIESSHIRE.
table-land that stretches from St. Abb's Head to Portpatrick. There is
little variation in the lithological characters of the rocks, as they consist
mainly of massive grits, greywackes, flags and shales singularly destitute
of fossils. Fortunately, however, there are certain bands of black shales
richly charged with graptolites, by means of which Professor Lapworth
demonstrated the true order of succession of the beds. The strata
have been thrown into innumerable folds, frequently inverted, whereby
certain zones, not exceeding several hundred feet in thickness, have
been made to cover areas several miles in width. Further, the members
of the black shale series, which are typically developed in the Moffat
region, undergo iipportant modifications when followed north-westwards
to Wanlockhead. The higher fossiliferous zones gradually disappear,
and they are represented by coarser sediments. For these reasons the
stratigraphical relations of the strata are extremely complicated, but
with the aid of the graptolites it is possible to determine the age of the
various rock groups, and to correlate them with the subdivisions of the
Silurian system in other regions.
The lowest zones of the Moffat black shale series are accompanied
by cherts containing Radiolaria which were detected in the course of
the geological survey of the Abington area. The latter form an im-
portant horizon from their great horizontal extension and their constant
association with volcanic rocks. From these cherts Dr Hinde has
described twenty-three new species of Radiolaria belonging to twelve
genera, of which half are new. He concludes that these Silurian cherts
from the south of Scotland are due to the accumulation of the tests of
Radiolaria, forming a pure Radiolarian rock resembling the Teritary
beds of Barbados and the Nicobar Islands, which, according to Haeckel,
correspond to the Radiolarian ooze of existing seas. There can be no
doubt, therefore, that these cherts are true deep-sea deposits, which
must have accumulated beyond the limit of sedimentation. The horizon
of this important zone is accurately defined in the Ballantrae area, Ayr-
shire, where the cherts are underlain by a band of black shales contain-
ing Avenig graptohtes. Throughout the southern uplands they are
always overlain by the Glenkiln black shales yielding graptolites of
Upper Llandeilo age. Hence they belong partly to Avenig and partly
to Llandeilo time.
The following table gives in descending order the subdivisions
of the black shale series, which have been established by Professor
Lapworth in the typical Moffat region : —

The typical sections, where the various divisions of the black shale
series are displayed, occur within the limits of the county, at the locali-
ties from which they take their name. The members of the lowest
division, corresponding to the Upper Llandeilo rocks of Wales, are met
with in the Glenkiln burn, near Raehills, to the south-west of Moffat ;
those of the middle division, representing the Caradoc rocks, occur on
Hartfell at the spa, north-west of Moffat; while the members of the
Upper division of Llandovery age, are seen to advantage in the famous
section in Dobb's Linn, near Birkhill, at the head of Moffatdale.
The representatives of the black shale series, in the Moffat region,
are exposed along axial folds in the midst of younger strata. They are
arranged in parallel bands running in a north-east and south west direc-
tion, which can be readily distinguished from the surrounding grey-
wackes and shales by their colour and composition. Where the folds
are normal, the lowest beds occur in the centre, and the higher zones
follow in regular order on either side. Frequently the arches are in-
verted, and both limbs dip in one direction, while the beds are traversed
by normal and reversed faults. In order to study the succession of the
strata with advantage, the observer must visit the typical sections of the
Moffat region, where the various lithological and palaeontological zones
are admirably displayed.
One of the remarkable features of these Silurian rocks, ranging from
the horizon of the Radiolarian cherts to the top of the Birkhill shales,
is the variation in the character of the deposits when followed across
the strike of the beds, that is from south-east to north-west. This vari-
ation, together with the complicated system of folding, has led to much
of the difficulty in interpreting the succession. Excluding the Radio-
larian cherts, which are evidently true oceanic deposits, the strata in the
Moffat region consist of black and grey shales, clays and mudstones in-
dicating deposition in comparatively deep water. The whole series
does not exceed three hundred feet in thickness, and yet on palaeonto-
logical grounds it is evident that the beds represent the Llandeilo, Cara-
doc, and part of the Llandovery formations of Wales, which in the latter

territory are measured by thousands of feet. When, however, we examine
the successive reappearances of the black shale series between Moffat
and the Dalveen Pass, the Birkhill shales gradually disappear, bemg
represented by thin dark blue shales with a few characteristic Birkhill
graptolites. Passing still further to the north-west, beyond the limits of
the Llandovery area, the Barren Mudstones are represented by grey
sandy shales with lenticular bands and nodules of limestone. Grey-
wackes, grits and conglomerates, yielding Caradoc fossils, appear ; and,
in the northern part of the county, overlie the Glenkiln-Hartfell black
shales. Proceeding still further to the north-west, towards the county
boundary, west of Sanquhar, the higher zones of the Hartfell black
shales disappear, and the lower zones of this division occur as dark
seams in grey sandy shale. Taking these facts into consideration, it is
evident that the old land surface from which the sediment was derived
lay to the north-west. This conclusion receives support from the
occurrence of pebbles of crystalline schists from the Highlands, in some
of the Caradoc and Llandovery conglomerates, along the northern por-
tion of the Silurian tableland.
The volcanic rocks underlying the Radiolarian cherts consist mainly
of contemporaneous lavas and agglomerates, with occasional masses of
intrusive dolerite and gabbro. They come to the surface along sharp
anticlines in the northern part of the county ; the extent of the ex-
posures depending on the breadth of the anticline and the depth to
which they have been cut by denudation. They are visible near
Wanlockhead, in the tributaries of the Euchan water, and on Bail Hill,
north of Sanquhar. The volcanic rocks underlying the cherts are not
met with in the Moffat area, because the various folds have not been
denuded deep enough to expose this horizon. Volcanic tuffs are,
however, associated with the cherts and barren mudstones at certain
localities.
The various bands of black shales in the Moffat area are succeeded
by greywackes, grits, conglomerates, and shales of Llandovery age
(Queensberry grits and Hawick rocks), occupying a broad belt of
territory. A line drawn from the Dalveen Pass south-westwards by
Moniaive to the county boundary near CasUefearn marks the northern
limit of this formation. To the north of this line they are underlain by
the Caradoc and Llandeilo rocks, while towards the south of Eskdale-
muir they pass conformably upwards into the Wenlock beds. In the
Moffat region there is no difficulty in drawing the base line of the
Llandovery formation, as it is everywhere indicated by the Diplograptus
acuminatus zone of the Lower Birkhill shales. The northern boundary
line from Dalveen Pass to Moniaive is rather uncertain, owing to the
disappearance of most of the well defined Birkhill zones. Though
Llandovery rocks occupy a wide area, it is evident that their thickness
is not excessive, because the same beds are constantly repeated by
folding. In the central area, the dominant types, consisting of massive
GEOLOGY OF DUMFRIESSHIRE. XXXI.
grits, occasionally conglomeratic, and shales are extremly barren. Only
a few forms have been obtained from some of the shales, including Mono-
graptus exiguus, Dexolites gracilis, and Crossopodia Scotica. The Hawick
type of the Llandovery rocks consists of grey sandy shales, flags and
greywackes, associated with pale-coloured clayey shales, and red shales.
The shales have yielded Protovirgularia Harknessi.
The foregoing strata are succeeded southwards by the representatives
of the Wenlock formation. A line drawn from the head of Ewes Water
in Eskdale, south-westwards by IvOckerbie to Mouswald, marks the boun-
dary between the Llandovery and Wenlock rocks. Consisting of brown
crusted greywackes, flags and shales, resembling to some extent the
Hawick series, they are readily distinguished by certain bands of dark
shales yielding graptolites characteristic of the Wenlock beds of other
countries, as, for example, Cyrtograptus Murchisoni, Monograptus
vomerinus, Monograptus colonus, Monograptus priodon, etc. Occasion-
ally thick zones of olive-coloured shales are met with, resembling the
typical Wenlock shales of Wales. Along the fertile tract stretching
from Langholm to Ruthwell, these Upper Silurian strata are covered
unconformably by the Old Red Sandstone and Carboniferous rocks.
At the northern boundary of the county in the the basin of the Span-
go Water, the Silurian rocks are invaded by a mass of granite, probably
of the same age as the granite masses of Galloway, which are later than
the Upper Silurian time, and older than the Upper Old Red Sandstone.
Excellent examples of the contact metamorphism produced by this
igneous intrusion are to be found in the zone of altered Silurian rocks
surrounding the granite. Most of the dykes of felsite, diorite, and other
igneous rocks traversing the Silurian area are probably of the same age.
Towards the close of the Silurian period the marine deposits, which
had accumulated during that long interval of time, were elevated so as
to form a prominent barrier of land. In the hollows worn out of this
ancient table-land the strata belonging to the Old Red Sandstone,
Carboniferous, Permian, and Triassic periods, were deposited. These
newer formations have, however, been so much denuded that only
isolated fragments remain of what were once more extensive deposits.
The representatives of the Old Red Sandstone belong to the lower
and upper divisions of that system. Along the County boundary in
Upper Nithsdale the members of the lower division occupy a limited
area, stretching north-eastwards from the northern margin of the San-
quhar coal field. They consist of sandstones and conglomerates,
prominently developed on the slopes of Corsoncone beyond the County
boundary, where they are associated with contemporaneous volcanic
rocks. They form part of the great belt of lower old red strata,
stretching from the Braid Hills, near Edinburgh, into Ayrshire.
The upper Old Red Sandstone, on the other hand, forms a narrow
fringe underlying the carboniferous rocks from the County boundary
XXXll. GEOLOGY OF DUMFRIESSHIRE.
east of the Ewes Water, south-westwards by Langhohii to Birrenswark.
At the base they consist of conglomeratic sandstones, the included
pebbles having«been derived from the erosion of the Silurian flagstones
and shales ; these are overlaid by friable red sandstones and marls.
The Old Red Sandstone strata, within the limits of the County,
have not proved fossiliferous, but elsewhere in Scotland they have
yielded land plants and ganoid fishes. From the lithological characters
of the strata and the nature of the organic remains, it was long ago
suggested by Fleming, Godwin-Austin, and Ramsay that they had been
deposited in lakes or inland seas — an opinion which has been generally
adopted by geologists.
Towards the close of the upper Old Red Sandstone period there
was a remarkable outburst of volcanic activity on the south slopes of
the Silurian table-land, giving rise to an interesting series of igneous
rocks that always intervene between the red sandstones and carbonifer-
ous strata. They consist mainly of slaggy and amygdaloidal andesites,
which were spread over the sea-floor as regular lava flows. They can
be traced more or less continuously from the Tarras Water by Langholm
to Birrenswark Hill. This picturesque hill is formed of an isolated
mass of lava, surrounded by a narrow fringe of upper Old Red Sand-
stone. Some of the volcanic orifices from which these igneous materials
were discharged are still to be found on the watershed between Tarras
Water and Liddlesdale, and another of considerable size on the east
bank of the Ewes Water, about a mile north of Langholm.
The representatives of the carboniferous system — by far the most
important from an economic point of view — occur in three separate
areas: (i) m the district extending from Langholm to Ruthwell ; (2)
at Closeburn, near Thornhill ; (3) in the neighbourhood of Sanquhar.
The first of these is the most extensive, measuring about twenty-two
miles in length and varying in breadth from two to seven miles. The
following zones, given in descending order, were estabfished in the
course of the geological survey of the district : — (8) Reddened shales
with plants belonging to the true coal measures ; (7) Canobie coals and
associated strata ; (6) marine limestone series of the Esk, Penton,
Ecclefechan, and Kelhead ; (5) volcanic zone of fine tuff and andesite,
including about 50 feet of fine shales ; (4) Woodcock air sandstones ;
(3) Tarras Waterfoot cementstone series ; (2) white sandstones under-
lain by (i) the andesite lavas of Birrenswark and Ward Law.
In the course of the geological survey an important discovery of a
large number of new organisms was made in the beds of zone 5 and
partly in zone 3. The most celebrated locality occurs on the banks
of the River Esk, north of Canobie, in a particular band of shale
associated with volcanic tuff in zone 5. The fossils are in a splendid
state of preservation ; in some instances they have been so protected
by their matrix of fine clay as to retain structures which have never
GEOLOGY OF DUMFRIESSHIRE. XXXlll.
before been recognised in a fossil state. Upwards of twenty new
species of ganoid fishes were obtained from these beds, and out of the
sixteen genera to which these species belong five are new to science.
Few of the species are common to the carboniferous rocks of the
Lothians, which has an important bearing on the physical history of that
period. Along with the fishes were found about an equal number of
Crustacea new to science, comprising about twenty species of the higher
Crustacea, together with Eurypterids and Limaloids. No less interest-
ing is the discovery of several new species of scorpions, the occurrence
of which in carboniferous rocks has been extremely rare. The speci-
mens recently obtained are admirably preserved, and from a minute
examination of them it is evident that they closely resemble their living
representatives. Every structure of the recent form has been recognised
in the fossil scorpions from this horizon, including the hairs and hooks
on the feet. The sting alone has not been certainly observed, but that
it existed may be inferred from the presence of the poison gland which
has been detected in the fossil state. The remains of several new
plants were also found in the fine shales from the river Esk.
The organic remains found in the different subdivisions of the
carboniferous rocks bordering the Solway are of great value in correlat-
ing them with their representatives in the midland valley of Scotland.
The cementstone bands of Tarras Water and Ecclefechan are largely
composed of microzoa, chiefly Entomostraca ; others are almost entirely
made up of minute gasteropods.
Between the foregoing horizon and the true marine limestone series
of Penton, the river Esk and Kelhead, there is an intervening group of
thin limestones, which, from the presence of Lamellibranchs and gastero-
pods, indicate shore conditions during their deposition. The Lamelli-
branchs are represented by Myalina Crassa, M. lamellosa, Modiola
modioloformis, M. Macadami, Aviculopecten dissimilis ; the gastero-
pods by Natichopsis plicistria, Bellerophon Urei, Murchisonia Verneuil-
liana; and the brachiopods by Camerophoria Crumena, Athyris ambigua,
Productus semireticulatus, etc.
The marine limestone series of Penton, the river Esk, etc., from the
abundance of corals, point to deposition in clear water. Amongst the
corals obtained from these beds may be mentioned Lonsdalea flori-
formis, Lithodendron junceum, L. irregulare, Lithostrotion Portlocki, L.
basaltiforme, Laplorentis cylindrinca, Chaetetes tumidus. The brachio-
pods are represented by Productus semireticulatus, Athyris ambigua,
and Rhynconella pleurodon ; the Lamellibranchs by Edmundia sulcata,
etc. From the foregoing assemblage of organic remains, it is highly
probable that some of these marine limestones may be the equivalents
of the marine zones of the carboniferous limestone series of the mid-
land valley.
The recent researches of Mr Kidston have led him to the conclusion
XXXIV. GEOLOGY OF DUMFRIESSHIRE.
that the plants met with in the Millstone Grit, and the overlying true
coal measures, are specifically distinct from those which preceded them
in the carboniferous limestone and cementstone series. If this
generalisation should prove to be correct, then it is clear that the verti-
cal distribution of the fossil plants in the carboniferous system may be
of the greatest service in determining the horizon of the beds. Amongst
the plants obtained from the beds at the foot of Byre Burn, Archerbeck,
the Rowan Burn, and the Canobie coal field, and determined by Mr
Kidston, the following may be mentioned : — Sphenopteris L. and H.,
Sph. obtusiloba Brongt., Staphylopteris sp., Neuropteris flexuosa Brongt.,
Alethopteris lonchitica Schl , Pecopteris nervosa Brongt., Lepido-
phyllum lanceolatum. According to Mr Kidston, some of these forms
are never found below the horizon of the true coal measures, and it is
highly probable, therefore, that the Canobie coal field may represent
the true coal measures of the central valley of Scotland. The reddened
shales occurring to the south of the Canobie coal field yield Neurop-
teris flexuosa Brongt., a form confined to the true coal measures.
Within the Silurian area, carboniferous rocks are met with in the
Thornhill and Sanquhar basins, filling hollows worn out of the old
Silurian tableland. At Closeburn and Barjarg there are beds of marine
limestone associated with sandstones and shales. Still further north, at
the south-eastern limit of the Sanquhar coal field, there are small out-
liers of the carboniferous limestone series, consisting of sandstones,
shales, and thin fossiliferous limestones. The latter rapidly thin out, and
the true coal measures rest directly on the Old Silurian platform.
From these data it would appear that in Upper Nithsdale the Silurian
barrier did not sink beneath the sea level till the latter part of the Car-
boniferous period. The Sanquhar coal field is about nine miles in
length, and from two to four miles in breadth. It contains several
valuable coal seams, and from the general character of the strata it is
probable that they are the southern prolongations of the Ayrshire coal
measures.
Along the south-west part of the Sanquhar field, the strata are
traversed by three narrow dolerite dykes, which send out intrusive
sheets along the coal seams. The igneous rock is much decomposed,
having the same character as the white trap so common in the Ayrshire
coal fields. The coals are so altered by it as to be unworkable ; indeed
in some places they have been converted into columnar anthracite.
The strata next in order are of Permian age, which are invariably
separated from all older rocks by a marked unconformability. They
occur in four separate areas — (i) at Moffat; (2) at Lochmaben and
Corncockle Moor ; (3) the Dumfries basin ; (4) the Thornhill basin.
The beds consist of red sandstones and breccias, the latter being
mainly derived from the denudation of the Silurian platform. Professor
Harkness, however, long ago noted the occurrence of fragments of
GEOLOGY OF DUMFRIESSHIRE. XXXV.
carboniferous limestone in these breccias in the basin of the Annan,
south of Lochmaben. Recently, when cutting the road to the hydro-
pathic establishment at Moffat, nodules of impure limestone were found
in the breccia. From these nodules the following fossils were obtained :
Natichopsis plicistria, Camerophoria crumena and Bellerophon, belong-
ing to the cementstone series. It is clear, therefore, that patches of
carboniferous strata must have existed in these valleys during the
deposition of these breccias. In the red sandstones of Corncockle Moor
and to the south of Dumfries, reptilian footprints have been detected.
The breccias have probably accumulated in narrow fjords, and the red
sandstones may have been deposited in enclosed basins. The strata
are singularly destitute of organic remains, and though at present they
are provisionally regarded as Permian, it is not improbable that they
may be of younger date. An interesting feature connected with the
Thornhill basin is the occurrence of contemporaneous volcanic rocks
at the base of the Permian beds. They form a prominent belt, usually
rising to the surface as a distinct ridge, between and underlying carboni-
ferous strata and the over-lying Permian rocks. They consist of slaggy
diabase lavas and tuffs, which are occasionally interstratified with the
sandstones.
Beyond the limits of the Thornhill basin there is further evidence
of the extension of these volcanic rocks at Lockerben, about ten miles
to the east of Thornhill. Here there is a small isolated area of carboni-
ferous and Permian strata. In the course of the Garroch Water, red
and liver-coloured sandstones,'probably of carboniferous age, are over-
lain by red ashy breccia, composed of Silurian fragments and bJocks of
amygdaloidal lava, followed by slaggy diabase lava. In the Sanquhar
basin also there are several " necks " or volcanic rents filled with agglo-
merate, which in all likelihood mark the site from which lavas of
Permian age were discharged. There is also a small out-lier of diabase
lava, resting on the coal fields north of the town, which is regarded as
of Permian age. Further evidence might be adduced of the original
extension of Permian or Triassic rocks over areas from which they have
been removed by denudation. Some of the carboniferous strata in the
Sanquhar coal fields have been stained red by the infiltration of iron
oxide, and the same feature is observable in the Silurian rocks round
the margin of the Thornhill basin. The shales over-lying the Canobie
coals have been so much reddened as to resemble externally Permian
or Triassic rocks. In these cases the older rocks were formerly buried
underneath red sandstones, from which the percolating water derived
the iron oxide.
Between Canobie and Annan there is a strip of red sandstones and
marls, which have been correlated with the Triassic sandstones on the
south side of the Solway Firth. In the latter region, to the west of Car-
lisle, they are succeded by Liassic strata.
Several prominent basalt dykes traverse the Silurian and Permian
XXXVl. GEOLOGY OF DUMFRIESSHIRE.
rocks in a north-westerly direction, which may probably belong to the
remarkable outburst of volcanic activity during the Tertiary period in
the Western Isles. One example is worthy of notice, as it has been
traced from Leadhills south-eastwards by Moffat, and acrosj Eskdale-
muir by Langholm to the English border. In texture it varies from a
dolerite to tachylite, which is the glassy form of basalt. Another is
traceable for a short distance through the Permian sandstones, about a
mile to the north of Caerlaverock Castle.
Throughout the County there are abundant proofs of the intense
glaciation which this region experienced during the glacial period, in
common with the rest of Scotland. By means of the striae on the rocks
and the transport of stones in the boulder clay, we can follow the path
of the ice-sheet during the extreme glaciation. The general trend in
Nithsdale and Annandale is towards the south-east, but on approaching
the shores of the Solway the ice seems to have been deflected eastwards,
across the belt of low ground towards Langholm and Carlisle, and
thence across Northumberland and down the valley of the Tyne. This
singular deflection was evidently due to the opposing mass of ice radi-
ating from the northern part of the Lake District. This easterly move-
ment is placed beyond doubt by the occurrence of boulders of Criffel
granite in the boulder clay near Langholm and eastwards towards the
valley of the Tyne. The wide-spread covering of boulder clay which is
now found in the upland valleys, and on the low grounds, is the relic of
this ancient glaciation. But in the valleys draining the larger masses of
high ground, there are numerous moraines deposited by local glaciers,
of which some of the finest examples are to be found round Loch Skene,
at the head of Moffatdale. Moraine mounds, however, occur, far removed
from any great mass of high ground, suggesting the probability that
local or district ice sheets may have operated in producing them. Dur-
ing the disappearance of the ice sheet and valley glaciers, those fluvio-
glacial gravels may have been formed which stretch along the basin of
the Annan as far as Moffat and along the valley of the Nith. The high
level terraces of the river valleys may have been laid down during the
stage of the loo feet sea beach, the remains of which are now to be found
bordering the Solway. Even then arctic conditions seem to have pre-
vailed in the South of Scotland. In the alluvia of old lakes occupying
hollows in the boulder clay near Edinburgh, the remains of arctic plants
have recently been found. Among them are dwarf birch (Betula nana),
willows (Salix polaris, S. herbacea, S. Reticulata), Dryas octopetala, etc..
together with a phyllo])od Apus glacialis, now found only in fresh water
lakes in Greenland and Spitzbergen. It is highly probable that some of
these relics of an Arctic Flora and fauna may yet be found in the old
lake deposits within the County. The latter stages in the geological his-
tory of the County are indicated by the growth of extensive peat
mosses, by the fifty feet and twenty-five feet sea beaches fringing the
Solway, and by the successive terraces of alluvium which tell us of the
erosion of the land by existing streams.
