Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Researches in Newer Pliocene and Post-Tertiary Geology
I mention them in the chronological order in which they assisted me. I had hoped at one time to have been able to add to the list the name of my friend, Sir Charles Lyell; but although I had not the good fortune to have his assistance in the field, I have had, from the very beginning of these researches, the benefit of his advice, and the encouragement afforded by the interest he took in their prosecution.
I have made use of his terminology in distinguishing the latest tertiary from the recent or post-tertiary. In the note at page 26 I have expressed doubts as to whether the Clyde Arctic should be included in the newer pliocene 3 but as these doubts never can be entirely removed, in consequence of the loss of some of the unknown shells, of which only one speci men was found, I adhere to the original classification.
