Abstract
THE summary of progress of the Geological Survey of the United Kingdom for the year 1899 has been issued by Sir Archibald Geikie, Director-General. The field-work was carried out in England and Wales principally in the coal districts and bordering tracts of North Staffordshire, Leicestershire and Glamorganshire; in the slate and granite areas of Cornwall; and in the Cretaceous and Tertiary regions of the southern and southern-midland counties. In Scotland the survey of the Highland regions was prosecuted as vigorously as the nature of the ground permitted, and progress was also-made in the surveys of Arran and Skye. In Ireland the revision of Silurian areas was continued.
