Kirkcudbright. 
Borgue . — Boulder of red sienitic granite. Oblong in shape. Longer 
axis N.W. and S.E. Rests on a low hill of partially decom- 
posed trap. Longest sloping side fronts N.W. The S.E. end 
vertical and rough. Girth at 3 feet above base is 23 feet. 
A line over and across boulder measures 16 feet. Rocks in 
situ at and near boulder are partly trap, partly greywacke. 
No granite nearer than about 10 miles, forming a range of 
hills extending from Dalbeattie, east of boulder, to Creetown, 
west of boulder. (See Plate, Sketch No. XII.) 
Formerly many similar boulders in parish, all now broken 
up. (Earl of Selkirk and Rev. Geo. Cook.) 
Lanark. 
Glasgow . — Near Possil, sandstone rocks covered by boulder clay. 
Two sets of striae on rocks under boulder clay — viz., from 
N.W. and from N.E. ; oldest from N.W., and caused by a more 
powerful agent, judging by length and depth of striae. 
Boulders in clay, recognised by Mr John Young (Hunterian 
Museum) as from Kilpatrick hills to N.W., and Campsie hills 
to N.E. 
At Brickwork, Garscube Road, sandstone rocks also striated 
from N.W. more deeply than at Possil. No striae from N.E. 
Perhaps striating agent here intercepted by a hill to N.W., 
quarter of a mile distant, about 100 feet high. At this place, 
in boulder clay, numerous boulders of old conglomerate, grey 
granite, schists, &c., from Bonaw and Kilpatrick hills to N.W.
