Abstract

The author referred to the paper which he had read on the terraces of the Earn and Teith, and then described similar deposits which he had observed last autumn on the Spey, giving examples with drawings, from the neighbourhood of Kingussie, Dalvey, and Ballindalloch. The arguments formerly adduced were equally conclusive in the Spey to show that these terraces were not old sea beaches nor lake margins, but the fluviatile deposits of some former epoch when the floods rose to a greater height.
