KiLPATRiCK Hills and Loch Humphrey, 18th April, 1903. — 

 About twenty members and friends joined in this excursion, 

 which was under the leadership of Mr. L. Watt. The party 

 were glad to have with them Mr. William West, of Bradford, 

 the specialist in Desmids. Meeting at Dalmuir Station, the 

 members proceeded by the new pathway to Duntooher, ob- 

 serving on the way the remains of the ancient Roman wall. 

 Passing through the village, a few photogi'aphs were taken of 

 the lower falls of the burn, and thereafter a visit was paid to 

 the dam, the water of which at one time drove the mill wheel. 

 The dam is now a shallow pool, with a stretch of marshy soil — 

 an excellent hunting ground for Hepatics. A few were obtained 

 here and elsewhere during the ramble. The party then walked 

 along the ridge of the hill to the new reservoir for Clydebank 

 district, a large sheet of water showing a depth of 38 feet, 

 which formerly had all run to waste. A cast of the dredge was 

 made here for Desmids. The track was then along the bum 

 to Loch Humphrey. On the stones in the burn at the Slacks 

 a rather rare Lichen was found — Nephromium laevigatum, Ach. 

 The loch was found to be very full, owing to the wet season. 

 It is three-quarters of a mile long and a quarter of a mile wide 

 at the broadest part. It is the reservoir for the town of 

 Dumbarton. A little to the north of Loch Humphrey is the 

 Fyn Loch, which is connected with the former by a small burn, 

 controlled by a sluice. In dry weather the sluice is opened.
