Remarks. 



At Darnaivay. 



The Soil in general gravelly, the surface a black sandy mould, 



producing Whins and heath on the high grounds. 

 In the low grounds the soil is a little stronger, producing Broom 



and Juniper. 

 Situation from 100 to 500 feet above the level of the Sea. 

 Owing to the shelter of the oldest plantations the trees planted 



of late years make more progress than those which were 



planted at an earlier period.

The Soil is various, viz. : gravel, clay, sand, sandy loam on the 

 top of rotten rock and in some parts moss. Trees of every 

 kind thrive in those soils, except in the moss, where the 

 Scots fir and Birch succeed best. Oaks thrive well in the 

 clay and loamy soil if moderately dry, also upon rotten 

 rock. 



Situation from 2 feet to 300 feet above the level of the Sea.
