Transcriber's notes
GREIG'S GUTTER
- One of the authors of the page uses 'comma' instead of 'apostrophe', I have transcribed as written.
- The reference to Bought Hanse in the Descriptive Remarks may refer to Bught Hass. This has been corrected by examiners on other pages.
BUGHT HASS
- I find it difficult to decide between Hause and Hanse in the transcription of the examiner's handwriting. 'u' might fit better phonetically with Hawse, but the 'n' is so like the others on the page I have left it as such.
