Abstract
MAY I supplement Prof. Green's history of geological mapping in Scotland (NATURE, vol. xlvii. p. 49) by pointing out that Mr. Cruchley published, on March 23, 1840, “A Geological Map of Scotland by Dr. MacCulloch, F.R.S., &c., published by order of the Lords of the Treasury by S. Arrowsmith, Hydrographer to the King.” This fine map is on the scale of four miles to an inch. From the omission of “the late” before MacCulloch's name, it seems possible that the plates were in course of engraving before his death in 1835.
