Fir and the Common Spruce ■were found buried in the bog at 

 Cappard. However, the absence, both from the spoken language 

 and from the place-names of Ireland, of any native name for the 

 tree would tend to prove that it had become quite rare if not 

 extinct in very early times. "Whether the records given above 

 refer to relics of a former abundance, or merely to iatroductions, 

 must remain doubtful ; but there is no reason to believe that any 

 indigenous Scotch fir now exists in Ireland.
