 31st March, 1911. — Portion of Canoe and two Photographs of 

 Canoe (by Mr J. P. Milligan) found at Kirk Loch, Lochmaben, 

 10th March, 1911. Measured in situ being about 12 yards 

 from where former Canoe was found, but distant from the 

 old bank about 14 yards and under the surface 5 feet, it was 

 12 feet 10 inches in length and 2 feet 2 inches broad. The 

 height of side was estimated to be 24 inches, but when seen 

 had been broken down to 8 inches. The narrow end of the 

 canoe was towards the w^ater, and it lay in soft ground with 

 hard ground about it on three sides, that towards the water 

 being soft, as if there had been a natural inlet there. The 

 canoe was of black oak, and flat-bottomed outside and inside. 

 A small round hole at the broad end went right through the 

 bottom, and had evidently been made intentionally- The 

 canoe fell to pieces when lifted.
