Proceedings of the Royal Society 
transport, both, in England and in Scotland, is very obvious, and 
will no doubt be noticed in the forthcoming General and Einal 
Eeport of the British Association Boulder Committee. 
It may here be right to remark, that the appointment of the 
English Boulder Committee, which took place at the Meeting of 
the British Association at Edinburgh in August 1871, was at the 
instance of Professor Archibald Geikie, who, in advocating the 
appointment, remarked on the importance of extending to England 
and Ireland the inquiry, which had already commenced in Scotland. 
The Convener learns from the Rev. Mr Crosskey, Chairman of 
the English Boulder Committee, that his Committee intend soon to 
frame an Abstract of their nine Annual Reports. 
These Einal Reports, embracing the most interesting discoveries 
on this subject in England and Scotland respectively, may, it is 
hoped, throw new light on a subject of much geological interest. 
David Milne Home, Convener.
