Abstract

Allow me to state that since writing the notice which appears in NATURE (vol. xxiv. p. 81), I have found that white crystalline marble has been described by Sir R. I. Murchison and Prof. Geikie as occurring in the Laurentian gneiss of Loch Maree, in Scotland. I had overlooked this statement, and was under the impression that limestone was absent from the Scottish Laurentian area. Its occurrence in both countries constitutes an additional point of resemblance.
