the gardens and grounds was apparent to all those who were 
present. The party was hospitably entertained by Mrs. White.

—As on the occasion of the last visit of the Society to this 
locality, this was a joint-excursion with the Geological Society of 
Glasgow. By arrangement with the railway company a special 
stop was made at Glen Douglas “passing-place.” Mr. John 
Renwick acted as conductor. The railway at the head of Glen 
Douglas is over 500 feet above sea-level, and, although within 
half-a-mile of the sea at Loch Long, and fully five miles from 
Loch Lomond, is in the drainage area of the latter loch. Loch 
Lomond is not visible, and the valley seems shut in by high hills

to the E.; Doune Hill, 2,409 feet, to the S.E.; Cruach an
