EXPLANATION OF MAP TO MR. BARRINGTON’S PAPER 
ON THE INTRODUCTION OF THE SQUIRREL INTO 
TRELAND. 
The black squares represent localities where the squirrel has been 
introduced. The red areas represent the districts from which it is now 
reported. The numbers refer to the centres of introduction alluded to 
in the paper. When the localities from which the squirrel is reported 
are within a few miles of each other, the general area between has 
been coloured red also; when, however, localities are distant a dotted 
line is drawn in the direction of that centre of introduction from which 
it is supposed the squirrel has originated. 
Dates of Introduction— 
Centre No. 1.—1815 to 1825. Glenmore Castle, Ashford. 
2.—1876. Lucan. 
5 3.—‘‘ Some 30 years ago.” Oalkpark, Carlow. 
si 4.—1864. Birr Castle, Parsonstown. 
ey 5.—1833. Garbally, Ballinasloe. 
* 6.—Probably 1820 to 1830. Castleforbes, Longford. 
7 7.—Comparatively recent. Donore, Multyfarnham. 
PS 8.— Do. Ballyarr, Ramelton. 
53 9.—Since publication of Thompson’s “‘ Nat. Hist. of Ireland.” Money- 
glass, Antrim. 
»  10.—1851 and 1856. Ravensdale Park, Newry. 
Centre No. 8 has‘no red area around it, as there is reason to think 
the squirrels have not spread. 
Since the date of reading this paper, squirrels have been reported from Lisnabin near 
Killucan, by the Rey. W. A. Reynell, fide Mr. A. G. More, and their occurrence has been 
attributed to an introduction at Clonlost, some miles distant. They were brought from 
Wicklow. Mr. W. P. Garnett, of Green Park, Dunshaughlin, writes to me that squirrels 
have been there for years, “certainly over twelve or thirteen years,” and do not extend 
more than a few miles. Information is wanting as to their origin here.
