{Extract from the Fourth Report of the Boulder Committee 
of British Association) : — Professor Harkness mentions a boulder of 
Silurian Conglomerate at the village of Bothal, North Cumberland, 
20 X 9 X 5 feet. It is striated on its western side. It is between 
400 and 500 feet above sea-level, and, in his opinion, was trans- 
ported from Dumfriesshire, having therefore travelled about 40 
miles from N.N.W. 
Elgin.

to have come from Eoss- shire {First Report, p. 31).

boulder, called “ Young Carlin's Stone." 
Hundreds of smaller boulders of granite, gneiss, &c., embedded 
in clay or sand, which seems to have been pushed or rolled, being 
all well rounded. 
Carden Hill has been ground down and striated. Direction of 
striae varies between W. by N. and N.W. Numerous boulders on 
ridge of hill, and on both sides of it. 
At several places on ridge, rocks broken up, and fragments pushed 
over southern slope. 
At one spot on Carden Hill, the N.W. striae crossed by others 
from N.E. 
Quarrywood Hill, composed of Sandstone rocks, has four or five 
large Conglomerate boulders on its N.W. slope.
