Synopsis:

The stratigraphical succession of the Jurassic rocks of Eathie (Cromarty) is described and a list of the fossils collected by the writer from the Kimmeridgian beds given. The fauna, which is of mixed Boreal and Mediterranean affinity, shows that the strata belong to the three basal Eo-Kimmeridgian ammonite zones proposed by Spath. The occurrence of an abundant microfauna is recorded and the palæontology of the varied molluscan forms is discussed. Three new lamellibranch species are described. A short account of the Upper Oxfordian beds which outcrop at Bow Buoy Skerry, 1 mile south of Eathie, is given.
