Lanarkshire. 
Glasgoio. — (1) linear Fossil, sandstone rocks under boulder clay, 
striated, partly from N.W. partly from N.E., oldest apparently being 
from bT.W., judging by length and depth of striae. Boulders in the clay, 
recognised by Mr John Young of Glasgow University Museum, some 
from Kilpatrick Hills to K.W., and others from Campsie Hills to K.E. 
(2) At Brickwork, near Garscube Eoad, sandstone rocks, also 
striated from K.W., and more deeply than at Fossil. 
At this place, numerous boulders of old red conglomerate, grey 
granite, schists, &c., supposed to be from Bonaw and Kilpatrick 
Hills to K.W. {Second Report, p. 165). 
Linlithgowshire. 
1. Bonnington Distinct . — (1) On Fumpherston estate, the ^^Ballen- 
geicli Boulder, in girth 10 or 12 feet; but now broken up into 
eight fragments. It is a coarse dolerite, of which no rocks nearer 
than Bathgate Hills, about 2 miles to K.W. Had been about 60 
tons in weight. The boulder was lying on boulder clay. 
Hot far from this boulder there is another of quartzite, about a 
quarter of a ton in weight, and containing crystals of green mica, 
most probably transported from Highlands. 
(2) On Tornain Hill, Bonnington Farm, occupied by Mr James 
Melvin, another dolerite boulder, known as the “ Witch's Stone," 
about same size as that at Fumpherston, and about same height above 
sea, viz., 431 feet. It lies on a slope which faces W.K.AY. On 
digging below the boulder, Mr Melvin found it resting on decom- 
posed trap. Nearest rock of same kind is on Bathgate Hills, 
situated 5 miles W.N.W. 
There is a valley between Tornain Hill and Bathgate Hills, across 
which boulder had probably been transported. If a line be drawn 
from this boulder to Bathgate Hills, it passes close to “ Ballengeich " 
boulder. 
This boulder also has been broken into six fragments. Some 
archaeological interest attaches to boulder, as on one of its frag- 
ments there are “ cup markings.” 
(3) Formerly, on S.E. side of Tornain, another dolerite boulder, 
read he exhibited chips from these boulders and the parent rocks for com- 
parison. In this paper there is a becoming acknowledgment that Mr 
Mackintosh had been the first to refer the Lancashire granite boulders to 
Criffel (A G. S. Trans, vol. xl. p. 270).
