Geological Notes from West Gahvay. i6i 



granite described as occurring in patches in a cutting north- 

 east of Oorid lyough. A large outburst of a similar granite 

 was observed on the southern slope of I^ecavrea Mountain, 

 where it is cut by veins of the normal granite. 



Between Recess and Clifden there are many interesting 

 cuttings which I have not had an opportunity of examining 

 closely. 



Before concluding this paper I must express my indebted- 

 ness to Professor Cole, of the Royal College of Science, for 

 interesting notes on specimens from the cuttings which I 

 submitted to him. These notes, with his kind permission, 

 have been embodied in the foregoing descriptions.
