The rivers at Galway, Inver, Belfast, Ballyshannon,and Derry, in Ireland; the Araidh at Inveraray, the Clydeand Forth, the Tyne and Tay, the Awe and Spey, the Nessand Lochy, the Conon and Carron, the Shin and Laxford,and many others, in Scotland, Wales, and England, have onlysawn small ruts in large rock-grooves, which hold river
