of Edinburgh, Session 1883 - 84 . 781 
Several other large boulders near Taynisb House reported, but 
not seen. 
(2) On each side of road to Ardrisbaig, many boulders observed ; 
— occupying cbiefly nortb-westerly bill slopes. 
(3) Hear Crinan Canal at Ballanach, about J mile from canal, at 
300 feet above sea, boulder, 16x9x9, on north side of valley. It 
lies on bared rocks. Its longer axis coincides with axis of valley, 
viz., S.W. by S. {Ninth Report, p. 8). 
Humbers of large boulders lie on bills to eastward, cbiefly on 
slopes facing H.W. — (Diagram given in Ninth Report.) 
(4) Dana, Island of — On the shore of this island, forming the 
Dana Boulder, 
north bank of Loch Sweyn^ and nearly opposite Castle Sweyn, there 
is on the shore a boulder weighing from 70 to 80 tons (see 
prefixed woodcut). Hs sharpest end is towards west, and longest 
axis parallel with the axis of the loch {Seventh Report, p. 12). 
On the south bank of loch here, there is a projecting mass of 
rock on which Castle Sweyn has been built. On the west side of 
this rocky mass, a number of boulders lie, as if intercepted by the 
rock in their progress from the west. The narrowest part of the 
Loch is here ; so that on this account there is the more probability 
of blockage having, occurred at this point. 
Oban and Neighbourhood. — (1) Grey granite boulder 12x8x6 
feet at Dunolly. Nearest granite rocks are on Loch Etive, to east- 
ward, but doubted whether of same variety. The boulder is at foot 
of a cliff of Conglomerate rock. 
(2) A mass of Conglomerate rock above the town, well rounded. 
On the side facing H.W. the hard pebbles are all ground down ; on 
east side the pebbles of the rock are rough.
