Loch Maree. — Rocks on road between Gairlocb and Loch Maree 
showed striae, in usual direction of W.N.W. and E.S.E. 
Boulders are visible on all the hills. Near Loch Maree Hotel, at 
height of about 1000 feet above sea, a plateau found by Couvener, 
well covered by boulders lying on drift. 
On another hill near the hotel, about 900 feet above the sea, a 
well-rounded boulder was found, very near the top, on its west side, 
lodged in a shelf, where it pressed at its east end against the rock 
of the hill, as shown on Lithograph No. 44, Plate X. 
Achnasheen {Dingwall and Strome Ferry Bailway). — A boulder 
15 feet in girth of grey granite, on a gra,vel terrace, 610 feet 
above sea. Locality interesting, on account of the immense beds 
of gravel and sand which have been formed here — no doubt 
by the agency of the sea ; and probably flattened by lacustrine 
waters, of which Loch Rosque is a remnant. 
Several hills to the south ascended by Professor Heddle; — 
one of them, Sgurr-na-Lapaig feet), requiring ‘‘the hardest 
climb ” he had ever experienced. For about 1500 feet above 
“ Loch Mullardoch the slope was at an angle of 47°. At 
height of 1530 feet there rests on this slope a boulder 12x8x7 
feet, of hard quartzy gneiss, which he says must have been 
brought there,” as it differs from the rock of the hill {Ninth Report, 
p. 16). 
Ben Wyvis (3426 feet), near Pingwall, — Its N.W. shoulder pre- 
sents whole acres of rock swept bare of soil, with rounded and 
polished boulders of a peculiar veined granite, identified with 
rocks to the westward, in the tract called Dirriemore. These 
boulders are found half way up Ben Wyvis. Similar boulders 
occur, strewed over the country both north (Alness and Ault 
Grand), and south (Strathgarve) of Ben Wyvis. In Strathgarve 
some of the boulders are as large as cottages {Fh'st Report, p. 48). 
Dirriemore. — Mr Jolly of Inverness states that the peculiar 
granite of this district has been carried “ eastward f none of it 
^hvestward.” It has been carried across the Cromarty Eirth, and 
scattered in large masses even over the Black Isle. It is plentiful 
over the “ Laigh of Moray ” and along the sea-shore, between 
Burghead and Lossiemouth {Sixth Report, p. 47). 
Mr Wallace of Inverness also reports having seen Dirriemore
