Paisley. — Mr Jamieson of Ellon describes boulders in clay beds 
of brickworks. Many of these boulders’ show glacial striae. It 
is common to find Balani sticking on under surface of these 
boulders. Suggested in explanation, that after Balani had grown 
on boulders, the boulders were floated away by ice, and dropped 
on mud where now found. Mr Jamieson adds that “I some- 
times found, on heaving up a boulder, a number of young crushed 
mussel shells beneath it, as if squashed by the fall of the stone.” 
The clay round also occasionally exhibits black stains, as if from 
the decay of sea- weed that had been attached to the stone ” {Bond.
