Nugget of 1332 grs.=2 02. 15 dwt. 12 grs. (see Pl. xut. fig. 2).— 
Recently I have been shown by Mr. E. Johnson a Wicklow nugget 
which belonged to his father. Its weight is as above, and the 
form is somewhat peculiar, having a flattened wedge-like shape, 
somewhat resembling that of a razor, and reproducing no doubt 
the outlines of the cleft in the quartz wherein it was formed. 
This nugget has long been in the possession of Mr. Johnson’s 
family, and it may perhaps be identical with the one of 2 oz. 
17 dwt.’ mentioned by Mills ;? but, so far as I am aware, there is 
nothing known more than an approximate correspondence in 
weight to connect them. Its value at present is said to be 
£11 5s. [Since the above was written, it has been purchased 
for the Museum. | 
Nugget of 815°2 grs. (formerly in Trinity College Museum).— 
This specimen is described in Apjohn’s Catalogue of Minerals, 
No. 1973, as being penetrated by several cavities and vega 
as above. It was found at Croghan Kinshela. 
Nugget of 326 grs. (see Pl. xut., fig. 1).—This nugget belongs 
to Mr. T. H. Longfield, by whom it was purchased, being at the 
time labelled as being from Wicklow. From its general aspect 
and similarity to other specimens that was probably its place 
of origin. Its form will be seen from the figure. Itmight be com- 
pared both in shape and size to a quarter of the kernel of a 
good-sized walnut. 
Nugget of 820 grs.—Mr. Gilbert Sanders,? in some interesting 
remarks on the Wicklow gold fields, with the working of which, 
by the Carysfort Mining Company, he was associated, states that 
the largest nugget which had come under his personal notice only 
weighed 320 grs. 
Nugget of 180°8 grs.—This specimen is described in Apjohn’s 
Catalogue of Minerals (Trinity College Museum), No. 1974, as 
being an irregular wrinkled mass of the above weight. It was

1796, p. 1020, as though it were 21 oz. 17 dwt., so causing some confusion.
