IRISH CAVES. 



BY R. 1,1,0 YD PRAEGKR, B.E. 



In his "Notes on the Irish Caves" (^I.N., iv., pp. 57-59, 1895), 

 Dr. Scharflf expressed a hope that readers of this Journal would 

 add to the list of caves which he then published, and some 

 additions were promptly made by Mr. Ussher and Mr. James 

 Coleman (ibid., p. 94). And in the last issue of the Irish 

 Naturalist, Mr. Jameson has mentioned one or two others. 

 In looking up the literature of this and kindred subjects 

 recently, I met with some further references to caves, which 

 are now given, arranged according to the plan adopted by 

 Dr. Scharfif. Only those caves are named which have not been 

 mentioned in the papers quoted. I have not thought it 

 necessary to give many additional references to caves which 

 one or other of the writers named has already referred to.
