of Edinburgh, Session 1880-81.

To the south of this hilly range, and perhaps an extension of it, 
there is a hill (not named in Ordnance Map) about 480 feet high on 
the north side of Dim Loch. This hill on its north side presents 
rock-surfaces, rounded and smoothed. On its south slopes there 
are boulders, two of which I measured, viz., 6x5x2 feet, and 
6x4x2 feet. 
Close to Dhu Loch , there is another boulder, 6x5x4 feet, at 
about 320 feet above the sea. 
The rock composing these boulders is apparently similar to that 
of the hills to the south of which they lie. What occurred to Mr 
Millar was, that they had been riven from the rocks of these hills 
by some agent, which passed over and across them from the north. 
2. The Convener having in October last gone to Rothesay for a 
few days, examined several of 
the boulders on the east coast, 
mentioned by Mr Millar in the * 
foregoing notes : — 
One day was devoted, in 
company with Mr Millar, to 
a portion of the West Coast 
north from Ettrick Bay. A 
great many large boulders 
were found along the shore, 
showing transport from the 
north-west. 
In Ettrick Bay itself, there 
are only a few boulders, and 
these are situated at the north 
side of the bay. The coast to 
the north of the bay runs in 
a line about N.bf.W. by com- 
pass. To the south of that 
bay the coast-line runs about

diagram (fig. 6) by x x x . 
At the north end of Ettrick Bay, there is a compact ridge of 
rock, a sort of trap dyke, which stands from 10 to 15 feet above
