(p. 50.) — " Inisher/c, Dini'sh, Furnnce, Jllaioicashin, uud lllaunanar- 

 Toor. — These are tidal, being joined diu'ing low water." 



(p. 56.) — '■'• Lettermore Island, with Illaunroe, and Inchagham. — 

 Lettermore Island, consists of two hills, one to the east and the other 

 to the west, with a flat bog between them. To the north, at Cashla 

 point, the unweathered veins stand up 2 inches above the surface of 

 the rock. A little east of Cashla Point is a north, 10° east, dyke of 

 quartziferous poi'phyry ; and a little farther east, into which a small 

 bay has been cut by the action of the sea, is a coui'se of rotten gi'anite, 

 running nearly north and south. Hereabouts the unweathered portions 

 stand 3 inches above the mass, while inland south of this and due east 

 of the trigonometrical point, A 364, they are only one inch high. 



" Liishlay and Inchmahmna. — These islands lie south-east of Letter- 

 more in Fearmore Bay. The former is joined by a bank to Gorumna 

 duiing low water, while the latter lies near the east shore. 



" Annaghvaan, Iiishtravin, Itlaunahirha, Beaghy, Blaunard, north 

 island, and the adjacent carrigs {rocks) and carrigeens {small rocks and 

 half tide rocks). These form a small archipelago at the junction of 

 Fearmore, Camus, and Kilkieran Bays." 



(p. 57.) — "Of Kinnelly Islands, Mr. Cruise says — these are tidal 

 islands, and are situated about a mile and a quarter due west of Inish- 

 traven." 



(p. 71.) — " Here it may be mentioned that a register of the amount 

 of weathering of some of the granites, since the ice disappeared from 

 this country, would seem to be recorded by the veins which traverse 

 these kinds of rocks ; as these veins are usually unweathered, retain- 

 ing their glaciated surfaces, and stand up above the mass of the rock ; 

 near the coast being usually from 2 to 3 inches high, while more inland 

 they only average 1-5 inches in height. This weathering would 

 seemingly also suggest that in the neighboiu-hood of the sea, the 

 atmospheric influences are difierent to those inland, not only in the 

 amount of work done, as shown by the greater height of the veins 

 near the sea, but also in respect to the colouring matter, in some of 

 the rocks, for, as previously mentioned, the pui'plish gray or gi-eenish 

 felstones near the sea weather red, while the same rock inland weathers 

 a dull yellowish white." 



(p. 71.) — " On the sea-coast, about a quarter of a mile south-east 

 of Poal Island, there is a remarkable kitchen-midden about 50 feet in 

 diameter, 15 feet in height, and forming a flat-topped conical hillock. 

 It seems to be nearly altogether formed of the shells of the Patella 

 vulgata and the Littorina littorea ; no excavations was made into it.
