V.—Further Remarks on the Sequence of the Glacial Beds

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

The paper of Mr. Hull, “On the General Relations of the Drift Deposits of Ireland to those of Great Britain,” in the July number of the Geological Magazine, induces me to recur to one by myself on the Sequence of the Glacial Beds, Vol. VII p. 17 of the same Magazine.

page 411 note 2 Those who (unlike myself) believe in Mr. Croll's ice-filled North Sea, and in its having brought the shells of the Caithness Boulder-clay from some anterior seabottom into that elay, will perceive that any such sea-bottom, as well as the Caithness clay, must, from these Caithness shells belonging to the categorymentioned in the body of the paper, be, aocording to palaeontological probabilities, newer than the East Anglian Middle Glacial.
