Waterford. 



In the crags between Lismore and Dungarvan there is a light- 

 grey, nearly- white stone, capable of receiving a good polish ; it is 

 said to have been procured and locally used (Kane). 



Westmeath. 



At Hall, three miles S. W. of Moate, there is a very good 

 quality of grey stone, splashed with white. In some there are red 

 veins, but this variety is not as sound. It was used extensively 

 at the New Exchange, Manchester, in Bradford, and other places 

 in England. 



VARIOUS-COLOURED. 



[Various-coloured marbles of Carboniferous age, which cannot be classed with the 

 "reds," "blacks," or "greys," are recorded from Clare, Donegal, Fermanagh, 

 King's Co., ami Tipperary.] 



Clare. 



At Clondes Lough there is a fine bardilla, or bardiglio marble 

 (Kane), a bluish-grey stone, with irregular fine lines and blotches 

 of a dark colour, called originally from Bardiglio, in Italy, where 

 it principally comes from, as pointed out by Colles. 



Donegal. 



In Glendowan, westward of Lough Yeagh, there is a ribanded 

 Sienna-coloured stone, but so thin -bedded as to be valueless as a 

 marble. It, however, takes a good polish. 



Fermanagh. 



In a hill between Castle Caldwell and Belleek is a pale-grey 

 crinoidal limestone, with red spots and circles, due to scattered 

 crinoid stems that are stained with iron. A pillar of it is in the 

 Museum of Trinity College, Dublin.
