1. On a recent Landslip. By the Kev. John Duns, 
Torphichen. 
In the introduction to this paper, the author pointed out the pro- 
minent physical features of the district in which the landslip occur- 
red. At the point where the trap-ridge, which stretches in a south- 
west direction from Linlithgow to the neighbourhood of Airdrie, 
sends one irregular fork to the north-west, and another to the 
south-west, a broad depression occurs. In this lies the Auchingray 
moss, the scene of the landslip. Here the parish of New Monk- 
land, Lanarkshire, meets that of Slamannan, Stirlingshire. The 
following figure is a rough plan of the ground between the Slaman- 
nan Bailway and Haldane’s Moss Boad. The area specially influ- 
enced by the landslip is enclosed by dotted lines. 
The space lying between A and CC, represents the landslip pro- 
per. The rest of the ground marked off was that covered by the 
flow. At present, heath-clad ridges appear at A and BB. These 
ridges were previously little, if at all, above the level of the moss.
