XXXII.—<i>The Canonbie Coalfield: its Geological Structure and Relations to the Carboniferous Rocks of the North of England and Central Scotland</i>

Abstract

The Canonbie Coalfield occupies a small tract of ground between the Liddel Water and the river Esk in the south-east part of the county of Dumfries. Though of limited extent, the coalfield has aroused considerable interest, due partly to the important series of plants obtained from the beds, and partly to the questions bearing on the correlation of the Carboniferous rocks of the Scottish Border with those in the North of England and Central Scotland.
