IT may interest some readers of NATURE to learn that a considerable number of crannogs, various articles of the New Stone Period, and some ``kitchen-middens'' have been discovered in connection with the small lochs which stud the surface of Wig-tonshire and Dumfriesshire. Dowalton Loch, Machermore Loch, and the lochs which surround Castle Kennedy in Wigtonshire, have been examined within the last few years, and have disclosed ancient lake-dwellings. The Black Loch of Sanquhar and Lochmaben Loch in Dumfriesshire contain platforms of wood and stone. In some cases canoes and causeways connecting the artificial islands with the adjacent shores have been traced. Sir William Jardine, in his presidential address to the Dumfries Natural History Society, 1864-5, gives an interesting account of the crannog discovered at Sanquhar Black Loch ; and recently the Rev. Geo. Wilson, Glenluce, read a detailed description or the crannogs in his vicinity to the Scottish Antiquarian Society.
