THE FUESH-WATER LOCHS OF SCOTLAND 
tracings of all these 6-inch survey maps, with the soundings laid down, 
were sent to the Ordnance Survey Office as the work proceeded, and 
are now in the possession of this Government department for safe- 
keeping and reference (see App. V.). The bathymetrical maps 
which are published in this work are all reduced to the scale of three 
inches to the mile. 
The late Admiral Sir W. J. L. Wharton, K.C.B., F.R.S., Hydro- 
grapher to the Admiralty, also promised the advice and assistance 
of his department. Through Mr J. J. H. Teall, F.R.S., Director- 
General of the Geological Survey, and Dr John Horne, F.R.S., 
Director of the Geological Survey of Scotland, I was informed that 
the Board of Education had sanctioned the issue to the Lake Survey 
staff of a complete set of the Geological Survey maps of Scotland, 
and, in addition, had sanctioned the supply of information which 
might be asked for by the staff' of the Lake Survey during the course 
of their investigations. This latter privilege has been very largely 
taken advantage of, and Dr Horne and the other members of the 
Geological Survey in Scotland have rendered continuous advice and 
assistance, and directions were given for the preparation of maps and 
notes concerning the surface geology of some of the areas in which 
the lakes are situated. These maps and notes form a valuable part 
of the present publications. 
All plans for carrying on the work having matured during the 
winter of 1901-1902, a staff was appointed,^ and a start was made 
1 Mr T. N. Joluiston, M.B., CM. (Edin.), F.R.S.E., was appointed first

Mr James . Chumley, secretary, assisted by Mr Kobert Dykes, in charge of office 
work, Mr R. M. Clark, B.Sc, Abei-deen, also devoted a large part of the 
summer to field-work in connection with the survey; and assistance was also given 
for short periods by Dr J. Sutherland Black, M.A., F.R.S.E., Sir John Jackson, 
LL.D., Mr D. C. M'Intosh, M.A., Mr James Walker, C.E., and Mr D. J. 
Scourfield. 
During the winter of 1902-3 Mr Parsons was appointed to a post on the 
Mineralogical Survey of Ceylon (he unfortunately lost his life in the jungle in 
March 1909), and Mr Garrett was apjiointed geologist to an East Borneo 
company, their places on the staff being taken by Mr R. B. Young, M.A., 
and Mr P. C. Marshall, M.A. Mr E. M. Wedderburn, M.A., Mr E. P. 
Watson, B.A., B.Sc, Jesus College, Cambridge, and Mr Scourfield and others 
rendered assistance. In June 1903 Mr Young was appointed to a post in the 
South African College, and his place on the staff was taken by Mr J. H. M. 
Wedderburn, MA., F.R.S.E. In January 1904 Mr E. P. Watson left to take 
up a professorship in Calcutta, and in August 1904 Mr J. Hewitt and Mr R. C. 
Marshall left, the former to take up a teaching appointment, and the latter to 
continue his studies. In June 1904 Mr G. West was appointed as botanist, 
resigning in April 1906 to take up his duties as assistant to the Professor of
