the following results: — 16 x 10 x 10 feet (118 tons) (partially sunk 
in gravel); 15x7x5 feet (lying on bare rock) ; 13x7x4 feet; one 
nearly cubical, the sides being each about 4 feet square. The first 
three have longer axis JST.W. They are from 900 to 1200 feet above 
sea. But there are some, up to 2000 feet above sea. Mr Doig, 
builder, Fort-William, who accompanied Convener, mentioned that 
there had been one boulder at the foot of mountain, on its hl.W. 
side, so large as to afford materials for building the entire front wall 
of the Town Hospital of Fort- William. 
Mr Doig stated that he considered that the boulders on west flank 
of the mountain were generally different from Ben He vis rocks 
{Fifth Report, p. 65). 
9. On Treshlik Hill, 1566 above sea, on north side of Linnhe 
Loch (opposite to Fort-William), Convener, under guidance of Mr 
Livingstone, inspected a coarse-grained granite block, 8 feet high, 
52 feet below summit, on west slope of hill. This hill forms a 
ridge about half a mile long, running W.S.W. Kocks in situ 
are clay slate. Boulder must have been transported from some 
westerly point, and put down very gently, as slope exceedingly 
steep where boulder rests {Lithograph Ho. 31, Plate X.) {Second 
Report, p. 161). 
Bocks on north and west sides of hill near top are well smoothed ; 
rocks on S. E. side of hill are rough. The smoothed rocks are 
chiefly on a space along north side of hill, from 30 to 60 feet below 
summit. Many coarse-grained granite blocks, and water-worn 
pebbles, lie along north face of hill near the top. 
10. Boleskien, Ahertarff, and Dores. — Well rounded granite 
boulders of red and grey varieties occur over district of Strath- 
errick. One above ground measured 20 x 10 x 7 feet, and there 
seemed to be as much below. Its longer axis H. and S. Another 
at Fall of Foyers measured (above ground) 12x6x6 feet. 
Several are poised on tops of isolated hills. Highest hills in this 
district about 2900 feet above sea. Boulders are chiefly above the 
level of 2350 feet. Below this level they are generally of a smaller 
size. Beported by Captain White, B.E. {Second Report, p. 137). 
11. Lochaher. — In this district one of the most interesting hills 
is Glen Dim 2200 feet, between Glen Boy and Glen Spean. Pro- 
fessor Heddle, having visited it, expressed an opinion that the large
