Abstract
THE present volume forms a continuation of the important series of memoirs on the iron ores of Great Britain which the Geological Survey has been issuing for some time past. Unlike some of the previous ones, the subject here discussed affords little scope for original geological investigations, the principal deposits of iron ore being very well known and having often been described. As is, however, very truly remarked by Sir Aubrey Strahan, the information concerning them is scattered throughout a large number of publications, and it is a great advantage to the student of the subject to have it all brought together in one volume. The authors have done their work carefully and painstakingly, and the result of their labours has been to render available a very complete and minutely accurate record of the known Scottish iron-ore deposits.
