	In connection with the Geological Survey, his labours were chiefly directed to searching the fossiliferous zones of the Carboniferous rocks and to the examination of glacial deposits in different parts of Scotland. His work necessarily brought him in contact with various specialists, including Mr. Etheridge, jun., Dr. Peach, Dr. Kidston, Dr. G. J. Hinde, Mr. Clement Reid, and many others. He not only furnished these men with materials for determination, but he was also able to supply valuable suggestions which yielded important results, and his own special methods of investigation led to new discoveries.

	One of his important researches was carried out conjointly with Dr. Kidston, the results of which were given in a paper " On the Occurrence of Spores in the ~~Carbonif- erous~~ Formation of Scotland," published in the ''Proceedings of the Royal Physical Society. They showed that the spores present in the various coals and dirt beds, which had hitherto been regarded as ''Sporangia'', were mainly true macros ones of lycopodiaceous plants, often arranged in groups of four, like those of the recent ''Selaginella.''
