It only remains to add a few particulars concerning the list which follows. 



Brackets are used to show all editorial additions —the subject of papers which 

 have no printed title, the names of authors of papers published anonymously, 

 and all editorial comments, &c. 



When the title of a paper does not sufficiently express its scope, a brief note 

 of its contents is added. 



A book or paper is not included in the list if it merely quotes from another 

 without any original expression of opinion — such, for instance, are the references 

 to Irish glacial geology in certain general text- books of geology. 



Announcements of exhibits or donations, accounts of excursions, or other 

 officially supplied items in the Proceedings of Societies, are entered under the 

 name of the Society publishing them. 



When the date of the reading of a paper before a Society differs from its date 

 of publication, the former is usuallygiven in brackets in addition to the latter. 

 The Volumes of Proceedings of Societies are usually published in parts, and the 

 publication of a volume frequently extends over several years. In bound volumes 

 there is frequently no means of discovering the date of publication of any 

 particular paper, owing to the destruction of the covers or temporary title-pages 

 of the parts,_ In such cases the date given without brackets is the date on the 

 title page of the volume ; the collective date of the volume being usually added 

 in brackets immediately after the number of the volume. 



In addition to the contracted titles already .given, the following contractions 

 are used : — descr.=description ; ref .^reference ; locs.=localities ; glac.= 

 glacial ; post-glac.=post-glacial ; geol.=geology. 



The list includes papers published up till the end of the year 1895.
