Extract

1. In presenting a Fourth Report from the Society's Committee on Boulders, I may be allowed, first, to refer to the main object for which the Committee was appointed.

It was to collect data which might help towards a solution of the problem, by what agency boulders in Scotland had been transported from the parent rocks to the positions they now occupy.

The Transactions of the Society contain numerous papers by eminent geologists on this question.
