Abstract
THE Geological Survey of Scotland is continuing the excellent work which it has commenced in issuing memoirs describing in detail the geology of the districts of economic importance, more particularly of the various coalfields. Whatever faults may be found with this work of the Survey, it cannot be accused of undue haste, for the immediate precursors of the present volume were published so far back as 1925. The present memoir is the third of the series which has been issued under the general title “Economic Geology of the Ayrshire Coalfields”. The first two of these dealt with north Ayrshire, whilst the present volume deals with the northerly portion of central Ayrshire.
