288 KEPORT— 1892. 



On the S. side of these hills, down to the stream Sfcroan-a-Vreck, 

 which runs from near the foot of North Barrule to Corna Bridge, I have 

 noticed only three granite boulders. They are in a line with the Corna 

 School, as if they had come across the river there, not far from the place 

 where the other larger boulders are on Ballasaig. One of these — 

 1 ft. 6 in. xl ft. 6 in. xlO in. is near the farmhouse at Magher-a-breck ; 

 another, at Ballaglass, is 2 ft. X 2 ft. X 10 in. ; and the third, to 

 the Westward of the Corna School, on Booley Vett, is 10 in. x 8 in. X 

 6 in. The other boulders on these lands are grit and vein-quartz, 

 chiefly angular. 



Oil the S. side of Nortli Barrule. — Below the Shepherd's cottage are aV 

 group of grits, vai-ying in size from G ft. downward, lying in a mass of 

 rubble. These are local. Above Cardie Voar are also several similar 

 blocks trending down in an easterly direction. The largest are — • 



(1) 6 ft. x4 ft. x.^ft. 



(2) 4 ft. X 3 ft. C in. x 2 ft. in. 



all angular. 



In the old road S.E. from Cardie, on the south side of Ballaglass, are 

 other blocks from the same grit — 



(1) 6 ft. X 4 ft. X 3 ft. ; oval. 



(2) 3 ft. X 2 ft. 6 in. X — ; triangular. 



(3) 10 ft. X 5 ft. X 2 ft. in. ; angular. 



(4) y ft. X 5 ft. X 6 ft. 4 in. ; in stream. 



Above Magher-e-Kew are others oF micaceous grit — 



(1) 6 ft. X 3 ft. C in. X 3 ft. ; angular. * 



(2) 4 ft. X 2 ft. X lu in. 



(,3) 5 ft. X 2 ft. 4 in. X 3 ft. ; oval. 



Down Ballaglass, in an easterly direction, on Thalloo Loash, is a* 

 group of some 300 blocks of the micaceous grit, varying in size up to 

 6 ft. X 4 ft. X 3 ft., and one granite 2 ft. x 2 ft. X 10 in. 



Between the stream of Stroan-a-Vreck and Corna Stream, in the 

 plantation of Ballaglass above Corna Mill, are some hundreds of blocks 

 of grit and vein-quartz. Many of these have been collected at the junc- 

 tion of the stream. Below the bridge, down the side of Rhenab, are also 

 a large number of angular blocks of grit varying in character, some 

 micaceous, while others bear a resemblance to granite. 



These blocks appear to have travelled in an easterly direction, and 

 somewhat downhill to their present positions. 



Below here a patch of boulder-clay is exposed. On the lands of 

 Rhenab and Corrany ai'e scattered blocks of grit-quartz, vein-quartz, and 

 clay slate. Some of these have been carried in a south-easterly direction. 

 One of the largest — 10 ft. x C ft. x 5 ft., an oval boulder of grit, lies in 

 Rhenab Glen. 



One in the Corrany, 3 ft. X 2 ft. 6 in. X 8 in., has an impression 

 resembling a Lycopod on the flat side. 



On the hills above these lands, from Corna river to Lonan, are vein- 

 quartz and clay slate, many undisturbed. 



In the granite district of the Dhoon blocks have been carried in a 

 southerly-south-westerly direction, across Lonan to Onchan, and have 

 been traced from Agneish by Lonan Church to Baldrine and down 

 Groudale Valley.
