temperature at the surface; was 61°*8 I^ahr., at 10 feet 61°-5, at 20 feet 
61°'2, and at 30 feet 60°*0. 
Cults Loch (see Plate XXXIX.). — A small, nearly round loch, lying 
among fields about a mile north-east of Castle Kennedy station. There is 
a boggy stretch to the north-east of the loch, but no outflow could be 
found. The greater part of the loch is shallow, and there is a crannog a 
little west of the centre. East of the crannog is a small basin, in 
which there is a maximum depth of 28 feet. The length is a quarter of a 
mile, from south-east to north-west, and the breadth one-sixth of a mile. 
The mean depth is over 9 feet, the area 17 acres, and the volume 7 
millions of cubic feet. The drainage area is one-eighth of a square mile. 
The loch is supposed to drain into the Chleury burn, which joins the Pit- 
lanton burn near its mouth. The surface, on August 20, 1903, was 65’4 
feet above sea-level, rather higher than the elevation determined by the 
Ordnance Survey on August 2, 1893, viz. 65T feet. The temperature at 
the surface was 61°*3, at 10 feet 60°’6, at 20 feet G0°*0, and at 25 feet 58°*7. 
Loch Lee (see Plate CXXI.). — A small and nearly square loch in 
the basin of the Luce, lying at an elevation of 639*6 feet, among the hills 
on the east side of Loch Eyan, from which it is about 3 miles distant. 
The length, measured diagonally from north-west to south-east, is one- 
third of a mile, and the greatest breadth a quarter of a mile. The basin is 
simple, deeper towards the south side and east end, the slope of the bottom 
from north and west very gradual. The maximum depth is 44 feet, and 
the mean depth 1 5 feet. The area of the surface is about 27 acres, and 
the volume of water 18 millions of cubic feet. The drainage is entirely 
local, from boggy moorland, the area drained extending to half a square 
mile. A very small burn flows out eastward, and by the Penwherran burn 
joins the main water of Luce, which enters the sea in Luce bay at 
Glenluce. The temperature of the water on August 21, 1903, was 
uniformly 57°*5 Fahr. from the surface to a depth of 40 feet. 
Whitefield Loch (see Plate XXXIX.). — A small loch, with densely 
wooded shores, about 3 miles south-east of the village of Glenluce. It is 
half a mile long, and a quarter of a mile in greatest breadth. It is a 
simple basin, with flattish bottom, interrupted by a number of small islands. 
The maximum depth, 14 feet, is in the centre. The mean depth is 8 
feet, the area 47 acres, and the volume 16 millions of cubic feet. The 
drainage area is fully half a square mile. No large stream enters the 
loch. The outflow is by a small stream flowing out from the west end. 
The surface on October 17, 1906, was 192*7 feet above sea-level, or a foot 
higher than the elevation determined by the Ordnance Survey on April 12, 
1893, viz. 191*7 feet. The temperature was 49°*0 I^ahr. throughout. 
Eldrig Loch (see Plate XXXIX,). — A small loch in Wigtownshire, 8 
miles south-west of the town of Wigtown. It is surrounded by pasture and
