| Description | Murchison correspondence: letter from Robert HARKNESS, Dumfries, 30 Nov 1850. Re: Will accede to the request by Charles Lyell to postpone his paper ["On the Silurian Rocks of Dumfriesshire and Kirkcudbrightshire", 'Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society', vol 7 (1851), pp46-58] and offers to withdraw his other paper ["Description of the Graptolites found in the Black Shales of Dumfriesshire", 'Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society', vol 7 (1851), 58-64], or accept Mr Salter's offer to help name the different species; finds after recent studies that anthracite beds and graptolite shale run through the whole of Selkirk. |
