Two figures are appended to the Committee’s Fifth Eeport, to 
illustrate these facts. 
But I happen to have in my possession a more graphic representa- 
tion of the locality, which I now exhibit to the Society. It was 
made, at my request, by a London landscape-painter, who was 
taking views at Harris, and whose acquaintance I happened to make, 
by residing in the same inn with him. He and I on one occasion 
travelled together in the same conveyance, and had to bait our horse 
at Borve, near which the hill occurs. He saw me vainly en- 
deavouring to make in my sketch-book a drawing of the hill ; and, 
at my request, he was so kind as to give a representation of the 
place in my sketch-book, which I now reproduce (Plate XIII. fig. 2). 
It shows how numerous the boulders are on the hill-slope, and that 
they had found lodgment on the lodges of gneiss rocks which pro- 
trude from the hill. 
I give also a representation of one of the boulders (Plate XIII. 
fig. 3), firmly lodged on the projecting strata of the hill ; its east end 
abutting against the strata in such a way as, to show that it had 
probably come from the westward. 
The interest of the locality arises from the circumstance that the 
hill on which those boulders lie slopes down in a westerly direc- 
tion to the Atlantic Ocean ; so that if the boulders on the hill came 
from the westward, as I think they did, they must have been 
transported from some land bordering on the Atlantic.
