Abstract
The Outer Hebrides, lying off the north-west coast of Scotland, are of particular interest to the student of Pleistocene geology, on account of the grand scale on which the results of ice-action are to be seen, and because of the marine shell-beds which are to be found at the northern end of the Isle of Lewis. In the present paper no general survey ofthe glacial deposits of the Outer Hebrides will be attempted; my object is rather to drawattention to certain features of the marine fossils, as a study of the coast sections shows that a faunal sequence can be established in the Pleistocene series.Keywords
