Mr William Jolly, Inspector of Schools, Inverness, sent to the 
Committee valuable notes regarding the distribution and parentage 
of Morayshire boulders, which are given in Fifth and, Sixth 
Reports. 
He says — “ There would seem to be two varieties of Conglomerate 
boulders distributed through the ‘ Laigh of Moray. ^ ” One variety

feet. This rock breaks into cubical-shaped mosses, and probably
