* The formation, connection, successive subsidence, and final disappearance 

 of the glacial lakes of Lochaber were illustrated in the discourse here reported 

 by the model just described, constructed under the supervision of my assistant, 

 Mr. John Cottrell. Glen Gluoy with its lake and road and the cataract over its 

 col ; Glen Roy and its three roads with their respective cataracts at the head of 

 Glen Spey, Glen Glaster, and Glen Spean, were all represented. The succes- 

 sive shiftings of the barriers, which were formed of plate glass, brought each 

 successive lake and its corresponding road into view, while the entire removal 

 of the barriers caused the streams to flow down the glens of the model as they 

 flow down the real glens of to-day.
