Abstract
WHILE dredging lately in Loch Fyne, I noticed through the clear water, in a little shallow bay on the north side of the entrance to East Loch Tarbert, a number of pink patches on the sand. These could just be reached by wading from a boat at the lowest tides, and were then found to be roughly circular spots, about a foot in diameter, where the clean white sand was discoloured, most of the surface grains being almost exactly the tint of ordinary pink blotting-paper.
