Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the scientific findings of a comprehensive survey of 562 freshwater lochs or lakes in Scotland, which was carried out over a period of 15 years. This work was completed in 1909 and included numerous observations on the temperature, depth, and other physical characteristics of the lochs surveyed. In addition, the work included observations on the natural history of the lochs, including their flora and fauna, as well as a survey of the deposits which had accumulated in their basins. The results of this survey have been published in this book, which is extensively illustrated with maps, charts and diagrams. It represents an early and important contribution to the scientific study of freshwater lochs, and will be of great interest to hydrologists, limnologists, geologists, and biologists.
