form, two-thirds of a mile long from north to south, and one-fifth of a mile 
broad. It is a simple basin, the slope of the bottom steeper on the east 
side, so that the narrow area of over 75 feet in depth lies near the east 
shore. The maximum depth of 95 feet lies north of the centre. The 
mean depth is 32 feet, the area about 66 acres, and the volume 94 millions 
of cubic feet. The drainage area measures 2 square miles. The Amhuinn 
Ehid enters at the south end, and the Amhuinn Caslavat, issuing from the 
north end, flows some 3 miles northward into a branch of Camus Uig 
The surface of the loch was 288‘0 feet above sea-level on July 29, 1903.

Loch Scaslavat (see Plate LXXXVIII.)is a small triangular loch close 
to the shore of Camis Uig at Carnis, surrounded by low hills, rising 100 
to 200 feet above the loch. The length, from south-west to north-east, is 
over half a mile, the greatest breadth one-fifth of a mile. The basin is 
simple, the bottom sloping gently, except on the north-east side which is 
very steep, to the maximum depth of 82 feet, close to the north-east shore. 
The mean depth is 34J feet, the area about 48 acres, and the volume 73 
millions of cubic feet. The drainage area is less than half a square mile. 
The outflow is by an insignificant stream, which flows for a quarter of a 
mile northward into a branch of Camus Uig. The surface was 122*9 feet 
above sea-level on July 29, 1903. 
Loch Dihadale (see Plate LXXXVII.) is a small narrow loch lying 
between Loch Suainaval and Loch Eesort. It is situated in a corrie 
between the two hills, Mula Chaolartan and Tamanaisval (1530 feet). It 
measures two-thirds of a mile from north-west to south-east, and one-sixth 
of a mile in greatest breadth. It is a simple basin and relatively deep, 
deepest in the southern half, with the maximum, 61 feet, somewhat south 
of the centre. The mean depth is 28 feet, the area about 42 acres, and the 
volume 51 millions of cubic feet. The drainage area is Ij square miles in 
extent. The Amhuinn Ghlascleit flows out from the south end and joins 
the Amhuinn Thamanabhaidh. Loch Dibadale lies at a considerable 
elevation, 416*8 feet above sea-level on July 31, 1903.
