Extract

The number of the Geological, Magazine, for September last, contained a description, by Mr. James Geikie, of stratified beds of sand and mud intercalated with Boulder-clay, which occur in the Cowdon valley, near Crofthead. His reference to some contained vegetable débris induced me to make an examination of the strata, which has resulted in revealing an abundance of organic remains quite exceptional in such deposits.
