Extract

Referring to the papers formerly read before the Society in 1863 and 1864, the author first noticed the Section at Errol, its stratigraphical position and fossils, more especially the skeleton of a seal which had been found in the clay. He then described more in detail the different deposits as they occur in the neighbourhood of Elie. Since the shore Section was described in 1863 two new Sections had been examined, and the position of the different beds more fully ascertained. One was in the railway cutting extending from Elie Bridge to the Railway Station, in which, when first laid open, the series of deposits was remarkably well displayed.
