^{page 99 note 1} For the benefit of readers who do not happen to be acquainted with the subject it may be mentioned here that two distinct raised beaches are known in Scotland, namely, the 100-foot late-glacial beach (with probably associated shorelines at lower levels) and the 25-foot postglacial or Neolithic beach. Their periods of formation were separated by one of elevation in which submerged forests were found.

^{page 100 note 1} As opposed to this, however, it should be noted that the scanty remnants of the preglacial platform found at Bray Head in Wicklow, which lies just within the area of distribution of the 25-foot beach, do not show any marked depression.

^{page 101 note 1} Aonan means a grassy pasture open to the sea, and surrounded by rocky cliffs. It does not strictly imply “a step between the higher and lower cliffs”, as stated by Mr. Symington Grieve, although it often is so. A small aonan, the Aonan nam Clach Mòra, north of the Cailleach Uragaig, is a grassy flat of beach gravel surrounded by cliffs and lying only a little above high-water mark. A former proprietor of the inn at Scalasaig, Mr. Donald M'Neill, being worried by his guests as to the meaning of Aonan nam Muc, translated it for their benefit as The Pig's Paradise, and by this name it has been commonly known since. To Mr. Grieve belongs the credit of having first recognized that some of the higher aonans along the west coast owe their origin to marine erosion; he does not, however, appear to have noticed that they are of preglacial age.
