“No. 2. Fou-Rock.—Specific gravity, 2-638 ; a coarse gra- 
nite, which strikes fire under the hammer; it forms a durable 
and strong building stone, and has been employed in the ring- 
stones of Trinity College Belfry, and in the construction of 
the O’Connell Monument at Glasnevin. 
‘No. 3. Three-Rock.—Specific gravity, 2652; this gra- 
nite is rather coarse-grained; it was taken from Woodside 
Quarry, on the slope of the Three-Rock Mountain, and, like 
No. 2, has been used in the construction of the O’Connell 
Monument. 
“No. 4. Enniskerry.— Specific gravity, 2-633 ; a rather 
coarse-grained granite, containing veins of black tourmaline. 
** No. 5. Ballyknochen.—Specific gravity, 2:636; this gra- 
nite is the best building stone in the neighbourhood of Dublin, 
‘and has been extensively used in the public buildings of this

fry and Museums of Trinity College. ‘The quarries are si-
