Introduction. — Form of the Surface. 



(1.) In the following- communication I propose to give a sketch of the 

 mineral constitution of the South of Ireland, including the county of Clare, 

 and extending to the Bay of Galway. Connected with the description which 

 I formerly gave of the Eastern portion of the Island*, the two memoirs will 

 embrace about two thirds of the area comprised in its surface. In this, as in 

 the former account, I shall confine myself to the more striking geological 

 phenomena offered by the tracts described ; presenting occasional details in 

 illustration, but avoiding all theoretical speculation.

 ferent portions of the tract (see Plate i. figs. 1 to 5.), and the general views of
