washing gold, of which they got above £100,000 English money.” 
In a memorandum by Robert Seton, ‘emp. James V., it is stated 
gold has been found at {Newtoun, in Angérs (?); Cartburn, in 
Annandale ; Solway Sands, near the new toun of Annand ; Glen- 
naip, betwixt Carrick and Galloway ; Galloway, in the Barony of 
Terregles ; and in a hill called Colochere Hill ; in the Hill of Skrill 
(Screel of Bengairn ?) “ scho oro y grandes pedacos.” As to these 
localities mentioned by Seton, I have never met with any notice of 
gold being obtained from any of them other than in the above- 
quoted memorandum. Gold can always be found in the Wanlock- 
head district ; it is rather wet and dirty work obtaining it ; and 
what with employing men to dig in the alluvium and assist in 
washing, any I have got myself has cost about a shilling a grain, 
the intrinsic value being about twopence. Wanlockhead lead con- 
tains about five to seven ounces of silver to the ton ; the two metals 
are separated by Pattinson’s beautiful process. 
I attach lists of minerals to be found in the different localities 
in the district, so far as I know. I have not a doubt, however, 
but that the lists can be extended. For instance, I have never 
found such a common and widely distributed mineral as Garnet, 
which, 1 cannot help thinking, must exist somewhere in the 
district. I must, however, now leave further research in this 
direction to younger hands, feeling assured that perseverance, par- 
ticularly in the remoter parts of the district, will be attended with 
success. 
I think it should be one of the rst objects of this Society to 
make as complete lists as pussible of all the natural productions of 
the district. If all societies similar to ours did so, a mass of infor- 
mation would be obtained of the greatest use to all interested in 
the different branches of Natural Science, and at the same time 
save specialists an immense amount of unnecessary labour.
