Crohane mountain (N.) 2175 



Paps mountains (N.) 2280

Thenceforward, through the Bogra and Neagles mountains, with the Wa- 

 tergrass hills, spreading between the rivers Lee and Blackwater, and extending- 

 to the eastward, this principal range declines gradually in elevation. In the 

 Neagles range, Knockbena Skeagh is, according to the Trigonometrical Sur- 

 vey, 1388 feet above the sea. 



On the south of this main chain, and beyond the river Lee, high land still 

 prevails, yet forming lower ranges, the surface of which is undulated from 

 north to south ; but in the disposition of these ranges a similar declension in 

 altitude from west to east is observable, the principal elevations being found 

 adjacent to the west and south coast. Hungry Hill, on the north side of Bantry 

 Bay, is, according to the Trigonometrical Survey, 2,249 feet above the level of 

 the sea. 



North of the parallel of the Lakes of Killarney and the river Blackwater, 

 the coal country of the counties of Kerry, Cork, and Limerick presents more 

 equally flowing outlines in its surface, which may be compared to a series of 

 complex undulations upon a large scale, in which the higher portions vary be- 

 tween 1000 and 700 feet, and the lower between 500 and 300 feet, above the 

 level of the sea ; but Tour mountain, situated in this tract north-west of New- 

 market, is according to the Trigonometrical Survey elevated 1329 feet above 

 that level. 



The boggy district between Killarney and Millstreetis, in the central parts, 

 between 500 and 400 feet, and at the eastern and western extremities 300 feetj 

 while the lower lake at Killarney is 50 feet, above the level of the sea, and in it?* 

 deepest part 190 feet below that level, its extreme depth from the surface be- 

 ing 240 feet.
