Extract

It must be admitted that first impressions are to a certain extent instinctive, and need not, therefore, be taken for more than they are worth. To do any really valuable work in such a troubled district as Assynt would require a considerable length of time. Still, after having been nearly a fortnight in the place—a fortnight in which the rainy days and the dry ones were about equally balanced —it is almost impossible to avoid forming some idea as to the respective merits of the interpretations which have been put forth. And this one is all the more apt to do in order to be able to institute comparisons with other districts of the North-West already visited in previous years.

Soc. 1858, p. 381, pl. 13, fig. 31), I venture to think that their appearance is highly suggestive of crinoidal fragments.—EDIT. GEOL. MAG.
