(6) At Fincastle, on sliore west of Locli Tarbert, Convener found 
boulder so situated as to indicate transport from ]S[.W. 
(7) Scalpa Island. — Three granite boulders found by Professor 
Heddle [Lithograph i^o. 28, Plate IX.), one of them hutted up^^ 
against a knoll of gneiss rock (see plate xviii. fig. 6, in Sixth Report, 
and p. 35). 
On faces of hill on Harris shore, opposite Scalpa, a great bed of 
granite, from which Scalpa boulders probably came. 
(8) Shiant Islands. — On western shores Professor Heddle found 
several blocks of rocks foreign to the islands, and occurring in situ 
in the Long Island to the west. Some Conglomerate boulders he 
considered had come from Stornoway, 30 miles to north, the nearest 
place for Conglomerate rocks [Sixth Report, p. 36). 
Boulders of trap on eastern shores of the islands supposed to have 
been pushed from rocks on west side of the islands [Transactions of 
Norfolk and Norwich Ncduralistd Society, vol. iii., 27th Jan. 1880). 
12. Leivis. — Professor Heddle examined the district between 
Tarbert in Harris and Stornoway on foot, a distance of 28 miles. He 
was struck with the general flatness of the district, especially in its 
northern part, considering that the rocks there come generally to the 
surface, and are on edge. They suggested the idea of some great abrad- 
ing agent which had passed over the district [Eighth Report, p. 29). 
(1) Hear Ardrourlie, on Loch Seaforth, a trainee of boulders, 
forming a line E. by X. and W. by S., apparently traceable to gap 
in chain of hills to S.W. 
Clusters of boulders seen there, so piled on one another as to show 
that the topmost had come from westward. 
(2) At and near Soval, 12 miles south of Stornoway, rocks forming 
cliffs, smooth on sides facing west, rough on sides facing east. 
On one of these cliffs facing the west there is a boulder on edge 
of rocky cliff, which there forms a surface sloping down towards 
W.X.W. at an angle of from 20° to 30°. Longer axis of boulder 
W.X.W. Seemed to Convener clearly to have come from west- 
ward [Sketch in Fifth Report, plate" viii. fig. 29). 
(3) Lochs Ourn and Shiel, on east coast. Boulders seen by Con- 
vener on hills adjoining, positions of which all indicated transport 
from west. 
(4) Uig, on ivest coast. Bocks near road at two spots, smoothed
