Description

1849..
NICOL ON THE SOUTH-EAST OF SCOTLAND.
59
In his Note on the most ancient systems of mountains in Europe *,
M. Elie de Beaumont includes the southern mountains of Scotland
in his Westmoreland and Hundsriick system, though with some hesi-
tation from uncertainty as to the age of the strata and their mean
direction. The former difficulty may now be regarded as removed
by the fossils collected by Mr. Moore and myself in such distant parts
of the chain, and it thus seems worth while to inquire how far the
general direction of the beds coincides with that which he assigns to
this system. Among a large number of observations in Peebles-shire
and the neighbouring counties, only sixty-six were sufficiently precise
to be used for this purpose. With two exceptions, probably acci-
dental, the whole of these fall in an arc of 65°, or little more than
one-third the circle. Thirty-five or more than a half dip to the north,
thirteen or one-fifth are'vertical, and the remainder, eighteen in number,
dip south, as shown in fig. 1, in which the Roman numerals mark the
number of beds, when more than one, corresponding to each line. The
mean of the whole is E. 35° 10' N., or about 9° north of the mag-
netic east. According to M. E. de Beaumont's calculation, the di-
rection of the system, to which he refers this chain, is in this place

This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
