time, and he commenced to investigate the See also:Silurian rocks of the See also:Southern Uplands, and to study the See also:graptolites and other fossils which See also:mark horizons in the See also:great See also:series of See also:Lower Palaeozoic rocks
.
His first See also:paper on the Lower Silurian rocks of Galashiels was published in 187o, and from that date onwards he continued to enrich our knowledge of the southern uplands of See also:Scotland until the publication by the See also:Geological Society of his masterly papers on The See also:Moffat Series (1878) and The See also:Girvan See also:Succession (1882.)

Mag., 1883)
.
His subsequent work includes papers on the See also:Cambrian rocks of See also:Nuneaton and the Ordovician rocks of See also:Shropshire
.
The See also:term Ordovician was introduced by him in 1879 for the strata between the See also:base of the Lower See also:Llandovery formation and that of the Lower Arenig; and it was intended to See also:settle the confusion arising from the use by some writers of Lower Silurian and by others of Upper Cambrian for the same set of rocks
.
The term Ordovician is now generally adopted
