Transcriber's notes
The Authority Thomas Corson's surname [see previous Pages] occasionally looks like "Carson" in this examiner's handwriting. Other pages (next for example) clearly show Corson.
LOCH BURN
- the Descriptive Remarks refers to Warnock head. On Page 309 of this volume, the same reference is made, but that was corrected by another hand to Wanlock head.
