form, two-thirds of a mile long from north to south, and one-fifth of a mile 

 broad. It is a simple basin, the slope of the bottom steeper on the east 

 side, so that the narrow area of over 75 feet in depth lies near the east 

 shore. The maximum depth of 95 feet lies north of the centre. The 

 mean depth is 32 feet, the area about 66 acres, and the volume 94 millions 

 of cubic feet. The drainage area measures 2 square miles. The Amhuinn 

 Ehid enters at the south end, and the Amhuinn Caslavat, issuing from the 

 north end, flows some 3 miles northward into a branch of Camus Uig

Loch Scaslacat (see Plate LXXXVIII.) is a small triangular loch close 

 to the shore of Camis Uig at Carnis, surrounded by low hills, rising 100 

 to 200 feet above the loch. The length, from south-west to north-east, is 

 over half a mile, the greatest breadth one -fifth of a mile. The basin is 

 simple, the bottom sloping gently, except on the north-east side which is 

 very steep, to the maximum depth of 82 feet, close to the north-east shore. 

 The mean depth is 34^ feet, the area about 48 acres, and the volume 73 

 millions of cubic feet. The drainage area is less than half a square mile. 

 The outflow is by an insignificant stream, which flows for a quarter of a 

 mile northward into a branch of Camus Uig. The surface was 122'9 feet 

 above sea-level on July 29, 1903. 



Loch Dibadale (see Plate LXXXVII.) is a small narrow loch lying

 of a mile in greatest breadth. It is a simple basin and relatively deep, 

 deepest in the southern half, with the maximum, 61 feet, somewhat south 

 of the centre. The mean depth is 28 feet, the area about 42 acres, and the 

 volume 51 millions of cubic feet The drainage area is 1^ square miles in 

 extent. The Amhuinn Ghlascleit flows out from the south end and joins 

 the Amhuinn Thamanabhaidh. Loch Dibadale lies at. a considerable 

 elevation, 416'8 feet above sea-level on July 31, 1903.
