Abstract
THE preservation in a carefully documented and permanent form of geological records of all kinds is a matter which should be regarded as of the utmost importance, and the opportunity is taken here of stressing the need for conjoint action to deal with it. If the examples used by way of illustration are drawn entirely from Scottish sources, it is partly because they have come directly under my own observation and partly because the suggestions advanced may gain in cogency if their application to one particular region is emphasized.
