to systems having other bearings. South-west of Mannin are Chapel, 

 Duck, and other small islands. These extend in a nortli-east and south- 

 west direction, and may be parts of a ridjj,e that runs from Knock, south 

 of the mouth of Mannin Bay, to Shiprock ; while the islands that lie 

 further westward (Inishdugga, Inishkeeragh, Illaun-na-neid, or Slyne 

 Head, &c.) may be parts of a second parallel low ridge. OS the south 

 coast, the islands are scattered about irregularly ; still, however, 

 they may also possibly be peaks of submerged ridges, as Inishlackan, 

 lUaunnacroagh More and Beg, Croagh-na-keela, and the Carriggeens or 

 sea-rocks, three miles fm^ther to the south-west, lie in a line which is 

 parallel to the ridges or lines of islands just described; while Mace 

 Head, St. Macdara Island, and the sea-rocks called the Sherds, lie in 

 ■a second nearly parallel line."

 ble. To the north-west in the granite, occur systems of east-and-west 

 and nearly north-and-south vertical joints, which produce a columnar 

 aspect when viewed from the west or north-west.
