Conglomerate seem to have been transported at an earlier period 
than those of the liver-coloured variety, being generally embedded

rocks, viz., from 6° S. of West, and 15° N. of West. The Con- 
glomerate boulders from the Loch Ness Hills may have come in the 
first-named direction ; — the other set of boulders, across the Moray
