14 Hydrozoa.—Two Species Belonging to This Class Downloaded from http://trngl.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Saskatchewan on March 18, 2015 14 ON THE CARBONIFEROUS FOSSILS 2. INVOLUTTNA CONICA, Brady, MS. Upper limestone—Orchard; lower limestone — Craigenglen, rare; Brockley, common. 3. I. LOBATA, Brady, MS. Moderately common. Upper limestone. High Blantyre. A larger variety is found sparingly in the Brockley beds, and Braidwood main limestone. 4. I. RADiATA, Brady, MS. Common in the lower limestone shales of the Garple "Water, Muirkirk; rather rare in the Brockley beds; very rare at Craigie. NOTE.—Mr. Brady leaves one form, common at Brockley, and more rare at Craigen­ glen, for the present, undetermined. Hydrozoa.—Two species belonging to this class have recently been discovered in the lower limestone series. HYDROZOA. 1. PALJSOCORYNE SCOTICTTM, Duncan and Jenkins. Phil. Trans, for 1869, pp. 693-699, pL lxvi. Rare. Lower limestone. Roughwood; Brockley. 2. P. RADIATUM, Duncan and Jenkins. Rare. Lower limestone. Roughwood; Auchenskeoch. These Tubularine Hydrozoa are usually found attached to the margins of the cell-openings of Polyzoa. Their general appearance "is that of a long, straight- armed starfish reversed, and fixed on a stiff stem with an expanded base."— D. and J. Zoophyta.—This class is represented by a considerable number of genera and species, some of which are so abundant in certain horizons that their stony skeletons now form whole bands of limestone. Corals, being truly marine in their habitat, are never found in the strata of our upper coal measures, nor in the brackish or fresh-water. beds that alternate with the limestone series or lower coal measures. They are always associated with fossils which represent true oceanic conditions, like the marine fauna of our present seas. About twenty genera and treble that number of species have already been recorded as found in our Downloaded from http://trngl.lyellcollection.org/ at University of Saskatchewan on March 18, 2015 OF THE WEST OF SCOTLAND. 15 strata; and, as the work of investigation goes on, it is likely that other forms will yet be detected. The greatest number is found in the lower limestone series, some of which seem to be charac­ teristic of this division, such as Lithodendron, Lithostrotion, Syringopora, Cyathophyllum, Amplexus, Heterophyllia, Michelinia, etc. Several of the genera have, however, a wider vertical range, being found in the lower, as well as in the upper limestones and shales. These are chiefly Clisiophytlum, Zaphrentis, Steno- pora, and Alveolites; but corals, so far as I have observed, seem to be nowhere very abundant in the upper limestone series. Many of the Scottish carboniferous corals, being embedded in soft clay shale and calcareous shale, have their internal structure better preserved than specimens obtained from hard limestone, which are often so much crystallized internally that their finer septa are in many cases entirely obliterated. The localities of easiest access where carboniferous corals may be obtained are, the various quarries in the districts around Beith and Dairy; the limestone sections in the Bathgate hills; Corrie- burn, on the Campsie hills; Brockley and Auchinheath, near Lesmahagow—all in the lower limestone series; and Gare, near Carluke; Robroyston, north-east of Glasgow; and the quarries in the High Blantyre and East Kilbride districts—in the upper limestone series.

The assessment compared the available monitoring data to national air quality standards in order to identify any existing exceedences of the standards. Data was gathered from various national and local sources with regard to atmospheric emissions from: road traffic; rail; aircraft; shipping; industrial processes; intensive farming operations; domestic properties; biomass plants; and dusty processes. The screening methods outlined in the technical guidance were used to determine the likelihood that a particular source would result in an exceedence of national air quality standards. The review of new and changed emission sources identified no sources that were likely to

Note to Members: Proposal of application notices A ‘proposal of application notice’ is a notice that must be submitted to the Council, by the developer, at least 12 weeks before they submit an application for a major development. The notice explains what the proposal is and sets out what pre-application consultation they will carry out with the local community. Please note that at this stage, any comments which the public wish to make on such a notice should be made directly to the applicant or agent, not to the Council. If, however, any of the proposals described on the list as being a proposal of application notice raise key issues that you may wish to be considered during their future assessment, please contact the appropriate team leader/area manager within 10 days of the week-ending date at the appropriate area office . Planning applications If you have any queries on any of the applications contained in the list, please contact the appropriate team leader/area manager within 10 days of the week-ending date at the appropriate office. Applications identified as 'Delegated' shall be dealt with under these powers unless more than 5 objections are received. In such cases the application will be referred to an appropriate committee. In addition, a request to refer an application to committee should be directed to the area manager/team leader within 10 days of the week-ending date at the appropriate area office .

  • The State of South Lanarkshire's Environment
    Community and Enterprise Resources The State of South Lanarkshire’s Environment 2017 Summary The quality of the environment in which we live is important for our health and wellbeing. South Lanarkshire has a very rich and diverse environment which gives the area its unique character. Such an environment requires careful management in order to maintain and improve the area. This is the fifth comprehensive biennial State of the Environment Report for South Lanarkshire. The aim of the report is to provide quality data that facilitates evaluation of a range of environmental issues, identifies trends and provides an overall picture of the condition or state of South Lanarkshire’s environment. The state of the environment across South Lanarkshire is in many aspects relatively good. However, there are certain environmental issues where there is potential for improvement. These include those that can affect human health and the natural and built environment. The health of South Lanarkshire’s people is relatively poor and below the Scottish average for several key indicators. This is particularly evident within communities identified as economically, socially and environmentally deprived. However, the difference between South Lanarkshire and the national average continues to narrow. There is well documented evidence that environmental deprivation is related to health and health behaviour. Access to good quality greenspace and the wider countryside are important in promoting healthy lifestyles. The provision of greenspace and access to the core path network varies considerably across South Lanarkshire but is generally improving. Air quality within South Lanarkshire is considered relatively good, however, there are specific ‘hotspot’ areas closely associated with heavily congested roads where levels are poor.

  • The Placenames of Midlothian
    THE PLACENAMES OF MIDLOTHIAN ____________ A thesis submitted to the UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH, May 1947, for the degree of Ph.D. by NORMAN DIXON, M.A. (Edin. 1933) ____________ 2 THE PLACENAMES OF MIDLOTHIAN INTRODUCTION The county of Midlothian, formerly called Edinburghshire, resembles in shape an irregular Australian boomerang with its convex side to the north and with its ends turned to the south-east and south-west respectively. It is bounded on the north by the Firth of Forth, on the east by East Lothian, Berwickshire and Roxburgh, on the south by Selkirk, Peebles and Lanarkshire, and on the west by West Lothian. Its limits are partly natural boundaries and partly artificial lines suggested by natural features: the east is bounded by the long ridge of hill-ground commonly called Roman Camp Hill and by the Linn Dean and Brothershiels Burns; the south-east by the fall of the hill- country on either side of the Gala Water; the south by the ranges of the Moorfoots and Southern Pentlands; and the west by the almost continuous water-boundary (broken in the parish of Mid-Calder to include part of Drumshoreland Moor) of the Breich Burn and its parent-stream, the River Almond. The seaboard is about twelve miles in length and the area thus enclosed is roughly 370 square miles. The surface contours of the county show a gradual rise from the coast inland towards the hill-ranges in the south. A coastal plain of a width varying upwards /p. 2/ from three miles in the east is part of a continuous belt of coastal plain stretching through the three Lothians as far west as Stirling, and providing from earliest times one of the chief means of ingress to Lothian and Edinburgh from the south.
