Extract

Having gained a general comprehension of the probable physical and palæontological sequence among the Lower Palæozoic strata of the Southern Uplands of Scotland, as partly published in my memoirs upon the “Moffat Series,” and the Girvan Succession, I felt myself at liberty last summer to commence the study of those rocks of the North-west Highlands, which are supposed to be of corresponding age.
