Proceedings of the Boycd Soeiety 
which are also well coated with boulders. Its longer axis, W.S.W. 
Its west end, 5 feet thick vertically; its east end, 12 feet thick 
vertically, must have come from westward, by an opening in the 
hills in that direction {Sixth Report, p. 16, and Ninth Report, p. 7). 
(4) hJ’umerous small lateral valleys opening on Loch Sweyn, the 
sides of which coated with boulders, these sides sloping down 
chiefly towards and facing W.NiW. 
(5) Kilmory Bay. — Eocks smoothed and striated, with large 
boulders lying close at hand — their longer axis generally W.S.W. 
{Seventh Report, p. 10, and Ninth Report, p. 9). 
The smoothed rock surfaces here dip down towards S. by E., 
South, S.S.E., and S.E. Where the rock slopes down S.E., the surface 
is not striated, only smoothed. The rock has been most severely 
striated on its surface sloping down S. and S. by E. Some of the 
striae more deeply cut at one end than at the other, viz., at their 
west ends, where some as much as 3 inches wide. The striating 
agent had therefore moved from W. by S., or from due West. 
Portions of the smoothed surface were broken into small cup- 
shaped hollows, containing hard pebbles firmly compacted, — 
probably samples of the tools which effected the striations (see 
Ninth Report, p. 9, and Lithograph ISTo, 11, Plate VIII.), 
The hill to the east consists of a ridge running about E. and W., 
and rising to a height of about 600 feet. Its north flank slopes 
steeply down towards Loch Sweynj and is covered by boulders in 
immense numbers, and some of great size. The hill slope faces 
down N.N.W., but almost all the boulders lie with their longer 
axis pointing W.H.W. 
About half a mile farther east, on a much steeper part of this hill 
slope, there is a cluster of huge boulders, the uppermost lying on 
the rest in such a way as to show it must have come from the west- 
ward (see Ninth Report, p. 10, and Lithograph ISTo. 10, Plate VIII.). 
Taynish. — (1) A large assemblage of boulders lying on rock of 
shore near Taynish House (property of Captain Campbell of Inver- 
neil). Largest 18x11x8 feet, lies on broken edges of vertical strata. 
Longer axis lies W, by S. ; and its narrowest end points west. 
There is another boulder 19x15x5 feet ; its longer axis H.E. and 
S.W. Greatest number of boulders lie on rocky slope facing north- 
westerly.
