By its means the flow from Loch Laggan lo the Spean has been entirely cut off, and when the contained waters have risen sufficiently high they will be diverted through a tunnel to Loch Treig. and thence along with the waters of that loch by the great main tunnel fifteen miles long and fifteen feet in diameter, round the shoulder of Ben Nevis to the new works of the North British Aluminium Company close their way uninterrupted by man to the Tay, and so to sea. The dam close to Dunalaistair House for this station, unlike the Spean dam and that at the end of Ixich Treig, which rises 120 feet from its foundation before it even reaches ground level, does nof divert the whole of the water and dry the river bed between dam and powej- house.

My personal interest in it," he said, linked particularly with one aspect of business records, the history of prices. In the work we are doing, we use such material as Admiralty Records (reaching back to the fitting of the Armada) the carefully preserved accounts of the fortnightly auctions of the East India Company, and by these we are able to trace price movements from generation to generation.

Then it will be necessary to have emergency storage space for archives for which the. owners have no more room.

When the Institute of Historical Research of London University gets new premises I should like to see it provided with enough cellar space to undertake such storage. One interesting thing: about the exhibition is that, in looking for documents to be shown in it, quite a number have been found whose existence had been. al-. most forgotten.

The hydraulic works required here are of a rather different type from those in the Highlands since the amount of rainfall Is considerably smaller and the available storage possibilities and hydraulic heads much less than in most districts in the north. In the Lochaber scheme, for instance, owing to the steepness of the gradients the whole of the upper Spean can be used in one stage and released practically at sea level.

For the Grampian works the waters originating in Loch Ericht are used twice.

They, however, by no means exhaust the possible developments of the water power resources of Scotland, which contains 80 per cent, of all those present in the United Kingdom.

At least two further major schemes exist, the one in the area of most intense rainfall at Loch Garry and Loch Quoich. in lnverness-shire, and the other in the Benuly district a short distance further north.
