being close to the east end. The maximum depth of 34 feet is in one of 

 the inlets, just south of Emilia Cam Direach. The temperature at the

From the table on p. 181 it will be seen that in the eleven lochs under 

 consideration 728 soundings were taken, and that the aggregate area of 

 the water-surface is 3| square miles, so that the average number of 

 soundings per square mile of surface is 194. The aggregate volume 

 of water contained in the lochs is estimated at 5475 millions of cubic 

 feet. The area drained by these lochs is just over 35J square miles, or 

 9| times the area of the lochs.
