Mr. Dugald Bell, F.G.S., has been so good as to send me a copy of his paper on the “Shelly Clays and Gravels of Aberdeenshire,” on which I beg leave to offer a few observations, as it deals with a subject in which I take much interest, namely, the origin and mode of formation of such deposits. His paper is mainly based upon one by Mr. T. F. Jamieson, of Ellon, also published in the same journal, and on a recent memoir by the Geological Survey of Scotland. There is no difference amongst these authors of any importance as regards the structure and composition of these post-Tertiary deposits, which are found adjoining the coast of Aberdeenshire; and they may be briefly described as follows, in descending order:—
page 450 note 1 Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., 08. 1895.Google Scholar
page 450 note 2 ibid., vol. xxxviii.
page 450 note 3 This I regret to say I have not seen; but rely upon Mr. Bell's quotations therefrom, which I doubt not are correct.
page 450 note 4 Very clearly represented in Mr. Jamieson's Coast-section, ibid. p. 151.
page 451 note 1 Supra cit., p. 166.
page 451 note 2 If it be the intention of Mr. Bell to represent this by his map, I may observe that on comparing the lines of the ice movement with the arrows given by Prof. James Geikie in his map in the “Great Ice Age,” they are almost always at right angles: both cannot be correct.
