Memoir Geological Survey of Ireland (Sheet 162), 1859. The 

 description includes a part of Kerry, round the towns of Tralee and 

 Castleisland. (No available details given.) 



Memoir Geological Survey of Ireland (Sheet 173), 1861. The 

 whole of the area described lies in the County of Kerry. 



(p. 7.) — '' The so-called harbour of Castlemainis choked with mud 

 flats and sand-banks, through which the rivers wind their way at low 

 water." 



(p. 24.) — " The local elevation of the land now occupied by the 

 Lower Lake of Killarney, and a large extent of its shores, in very 

 recent geological times, is not a mere supposition ; it is clearly demon- 

 strated by the fact, that we find some of the limestone bosses in the 

 pasture land of the southern part of Cahemane Demesne very much 

 water-worn at the base." 



Memoir Geolog. Survey of Ireland (Sheets 182, 183, 190, and parts 

 of 172 and 191), 1861. The district described belongs entirely to the 

 County of Kerry, and forms the promontory of Iveragh and Dun- 

 kerron, between Dingle Bay and Kenmare Bay. 



(p. 5.) — -'The most northerly of the other ridges runs along the 

 south shore of Dingle Bay from Eossbehy to Valencia, rising at Drung 

 Hill and Knockadober to heights of over 2000 feet. It makes Doulus 

 Head to the west, at which place it is interrupted by the sea forming 

 the entrance to Yalencia Harbour, but afterwards re-appears in the 

 Island of Yalencia, terminating at Bray Head, a cliff of 588 feet." 



(p. 7.) — " The coast line of this district, in the neighbourhoods of 

 Rosbehy, Cahersiveen, and Aghadda, within the bays of Ballinskelligs 

 and Derrynane, and in some places along the Kenmare river, is low, 

 muddy, and sandy, or edged by a gravelly beach ; but in other and 

 more exposed places it is high and rocky, or rises into abrupt preci- 

 pices, as near Hog's Head, at the seaward side of Scarriff Island, 

 between Bolus Head and Ballynablona, at Puffin Island, and from 

 thence to Portmagee, where there are some cliffs so high as 867 feet, 

 round the western shores of Valencia Island, fi'om Bray Head to 

 Keenadi'olaun Point (near the latter of which places, the Fogher cliffs 

 are about 700 feet high), on the west side of Beginish Island, and 

 from Doulus Head to beyond Kells' Bay."
