This Report contains information applicable to three districts of country, namely—

1.Pentland Hills.

2.Morayshire.

3.Islands of the West Coast, and part of the Mainland.

The impression hitherto had been, that the boulders on these hills indicated a movement exclusively from the north-west; and there is no doubt that the mica slate boulders on these hills indicate such a direction; but Messrs Somervail & Henderson, in the notes contained in this Report, have discovered a separate movement from the west-south-west, by the occurrence of certain sandstone blocks, which they think can be traced to a particular hill or hills in the Pentland range. This point is so important, that it is hoped further inquiry may be made regarding it.
