1. Isle of May. — There are small Sienitic boulders on west side, 
at sea-level. On the west side there are also smoothed rocks. 
Direction of smoothing agent has been from W. J N. No boulders 
or smoothings are on east side. 
2. In Bogward Den (Mr White Melville’s property), 3 miles west 
of St Andrews, there is a boulder of conglomerate rock. Probably 
it came from Drum Carro Craig, which is said to be same species of 
rock, and situated some miles to N.W. The legend is, that the 
devil threw it from that hill, when the first Protestant church 
was being erected at St Andrews. 
3. At Kincraig , Fife , there is on the beach a granite boulder, 
with girth of 23 feet and height of 4 feet. The lower half is 
angular, the upper half rounded. Has this boulder been floated 
from westward, and been stranded on the rocks at Kincraig? 
Stirling Castle, which is visible, bears W. J N. But it probably 
came from a more north-westerly direction. Fragments of this 
Kincraig rock (a trap tuff), have been carried eastward, and were 
found in the cuttings made for the railway 2 miles distant from 
Kincraig point. 
4. At Elie . — Whinstone boulder on beach, 8 x 4 x 2J feet. 
Its longer axis N.W. Striae on boulder run N.W. 
INVERNESS. 
The Convener having been informed by the officers of the Ord- 
nance Survey that some remarkable horizontal terraces had been 
discovered by them in Glendoe, a valley branching off from Glen 
Morriston, on the north side of the Caledonian Canal, he took the 
opportunity, when paying a visit to Mr Ellice of Invergarry, of going 
to Glendoe. 
Under the guidance of two gamekeepers on the property of Mr 
Grant of Invermorrison, who reside at the foot of Glendoe, the 
Convener proceeded to the head of Glendoe, the place indicated in 
his map by the Ordnance Surveyors. 
Unfortunately, a heavy fall of snow had (17th October 1877) 
occurred during the night preceding this visit, and it continued 
during the expedition.
