ON THE SHELL-BEARING DEPOSITS IN KINTYRE. 387 
V. Direction of Ice-flow in Kintyre. 
The direction of the ice-flow in Kintyre is of great importance in 
relation to the investigations referred to the Committee. A list of localities 
where striations were observed, based on observations made by Mr. Symes 
in the course of the geological survey, is here given with the sanction of 
the Director-General. With the view of presenting these observations in a 
clearer form, they have prepared a map (fig. 4) of the district extending 
from West Loch Tarbert in the north to the Mull of Kintyre in the south. 
The observations of Mr. Symes have clearly demonstrated that Kintyre 
has been glaciated by ice which crossed the peninsula in a westerly direc- 
tion from the Firth of Clyde to the Atlantic. A glance at the appended 
list and striz map will show that the average direction in the neighbour- 
hood of West Loch Tarbert is W. 20° 8. Proceeding southwards along 
the watershed between Carradale on the east coast and Cleongart and 
Drumore on the west, many of the striz point due W., while some 
instances trend W. 10°-20°S. Along the transverse hollow at Camp- 
belton the direction varies from W. to W. 20° N. In that portion of 
the peninsula lying to the south and south-west of Campbelton the trend 
is variable : along the east coast it varies from W. to 8. 25° W.; in the 
Cannie Glen from W. 20° N. to W. 43° S. ; while near the west coast it 
is W. 5° N. It is obvious therefore that throughout Kintyre there must 
have been a powerful deflection of the ice which enabled it to cross the 
watershed, ranging in height from 896 feet near West Loch Tarbert to 
1,462 feet near the Mull of Kintyre.
