Extract

The writer stated that this paper was the result of observations made while staying at the sea-coast for a few weeks in autumn. Near Ardross a bed of limestone had been discovered, with peculiar fossils, which promised geological results of some interest. To determine its stratigraphical position, it was necessary to reduce to order a portion of the coast, hitherto held to be in a state of hopeless confusion. This led to fuller inquiries, till the rocks underlying the coal-field had been examined from Burntisland to St Andrews.
