of the Eiver Loyne with the stream flowing from Loch Chmie, “ a 
grand boulder but it was some distance from the road along which 
we were driving, and we could not reach it. 
From Clunie Inn we ascended Ca7m Ghluasaid (3140 feet) ; Cam 
Glas (3260 feet) ; Sgurrnan Conbliairean Ben-doe"''') (3634 feet) ; 
Cam Duhli Liatli (3280 feet) ; and Garbli leac (3673 feet), and then 
hack to Clunie Inn. 
On the south slope of the first-named hill, at a height of 1475 
feet, we found two grey granite boulders, each about 3 cubic yards 
in bulk, stopped against a little knoll to the S.E. 
3. On another day we climbed Stob Batliaicli (2740 feet) (opposite 
Am Batliaich)^ the S.E. spur of Cam Fuaralach (3241), and found 
on it two blocks. At the height of 850 feet, and at a distance of 
about 400 yards north of Clunie Inn, several fragments of rock 
were found, which we ultimately considered to be fallen rocks. 
At a height of about 1520 feet, on the east slope of the same hill, 
we found several large blocks, which had been clearly transported. 
They are angular, and their resting on so steep a slope was most 
striking. The largest is represented on fig. 11. 
On the same hill, at a height of about 2000 feet, and on its S.S.W. 
slope, we found an angular block 13x5x4 feet. Observing not 
Car off an outcrop of rock of the same description (white quartzy 
gneiss), about 7 feet high, and bearing W.JST.W., about 65 paces 
distant, and at a somewhat higher level, we saw such appearances 
on it as to convince us that the block had somehow been torn off 
from this rock, and lodged where it now lies, viz., about 15 feet 
below the level of the rock. Between the block and the outcropping 
rock there is a gully, or hollow, about 15 feet deep, now occupied 
by a small stream, across which the block must have been carried, — 
by what agency is the question (see diagram 11). 
3. We next proceeded over the hill tops the whole way north to 
Achnasheen, and were much interested in the number of cases of 
boulders lying on very steep slopes of high hills. One of the hills 
ascended was Sgurr na Lapaich (3778 feet). From the spongy 
nature of the grass it was the hardest climb I ever experienced. 
For about 1500 feet above Loch Midlardoch, the slope was at an 
angle of 47°. At the height of about 1530 feet (above the sea) 
there rests on the slope a boulder 1 2 x 84 x 7|- feet, of hard quartzy
