Again, on tlie moor between Dalnawillan Lodge and 

 Altnabreac Station well-marked strise were observed on 

 granite, trending E. 10° to 15° K This example is in harmony 

 with the striations near Loch More. This locality is situated 

 about four miles from the county boundary, and the markings 

 were clearly produced by ice moving off the adjoining high 

 grounds. 



Another traverse from the hills round Loch Scye, eastwards 

 by Loch Shurrery, Ben Dorrery, to Scotscalder, furnishes 

 remarkable proof of the north-easterly trend of the local 

 ice and its gradual deflection near the limit of the shelly 

 drift. Between Achsteenalate and Loch Scye some finely 

 glaciated surfaces have been recently exposed by the road- 

 side. About a mile and a half to the west of Loch Shurrery 

 well-preserved striae are visible pointing N. 15° E. on a 

 granitic breccia, which here forms the base of the Old Bed 

 Sandstone. To the east of this locality and about half a 

 mile west of the same Loch, near Achsteenalate, the trend is 

 N. 15° E., and a similar direction was noted in the bed of the 

 stream flowing into the Loch on the west side. In these 

 instances the roches moutonn^es indicate a movement towards 

 the KN.E. Crossing the south shoulder of Ben Dorrery by 

 the road leading to the Dorrery farm-house, several examples 

 were noted by us pointing due N., and in one case N. 20° E. 

 From the manner in which the south slope of this hill has 

 been glaciated, it is evident that the ice-markings were 

 caused by ice moving towards the north. Again, in the long 

 railway cutting west of Scotscalder Station we found several 

 examples pointing K 5° W., N. 20° W., and KW. Towards the 

 middle of the cutting on the south side " cross hatches " were 

 observed pointing N. and N.W., while a few yards to the 

 west two instances point towards the N. Now, these " cross 

 hatches," lilve the instance already quoted at Strathmore 

 Lodge, occur near the inward margin of the shelly drift, and 

 as they are situated in the midst of an undulating plain, no 

 one can for a moment contend that such remarkable proofs 

 of the deflection of the local ice are due to the contour of the 

 ground. 



Again, in the extreme north-west of the county similar
