Loch Caterine is in the midlle of the lake, afeeit

thorns from the surface, aAd the
bottom sheaved 41 degrees by the register, the surface
being ti 9. In Loch Tay they found the deeptse par,
also in tl.e middle of the lake, opposite the church ,f
Lawers, nearly at an equal distance from !Win
Kenmore : the depth here was 70 fathoms, and the
thermometer in the surface water stood at 62, b,,i
sunk to II and two-tenths of a degree at the be;

polite Tarbet, not very distant from the ned,ye
betwixt its extremities. The bottoms of all the,:
lakes are deeply covered with mud, principally of
ee:zetahle eensistence, mixed with sano,-and °fa 41,k
greenish colour. In no one iii%tance did the kid
strikt any other object except thi.; mud. It is Oise,.
able that the deepest point in all t'le,e l ikes is veil
near its centre, which is likewise the case with L en
Ness in Inverness shire, the deepest of all the Scotch
lakes, so far as has been hitherto ascertained. This late
opposite the famous fall of Fyers, "which is nearly at an
equal distance from the harbour of B ins, on its eastern
extremity, and Fort Augustus, on its western extte.
mity, is 129 fathoms deep. It is likewise ebkrv.
able that the deepest places in all these lakes, (as
indeed generally the case) are nearly. opposhe the
highest ground that rises on their banks, Benvenue at
Loch Caterine, Ben Lamers at Loch 'ray, Ben Lo.
mond at Loch Lomond, and Meaultoui vuury at Loch
Ness. It is well known that none of the above Likes
were Irczim over even in the severest winters; and
this has been attributed (and is attributed still by rise
vulgar) to a sulphureous.or other mineral impregna.
Lion held in solution by their waters. Naturalise,
however, now know very well, that the de,ith of ite
lakes alone is sufficient to account tar the *note
non. Our short-lived frosts are not able to cool dos
so great a mass of water to the freezing point._
Bur. if we had a Lapland or
‘a Russian frost, all our
lakes would freeze. As to tne much talked of effect
of the waters of the Ness, at Inverness, upon stranger
horses, which the people attribute to the sulphur in
the *waters of Loch Ness, we have na diubt that it
arises from a degree of:brackishness its the river at the
above-mentioned city, to which the tide ccrnt•s.
