liv INTRODUCTION. 
District II.—DuNKERRON SOUTH. 
Maritime. Approx. area, 1512 sq.m. Flora, 565. 
This division has a much bolder and more varied coast-line 
than the preceding and is accordingly richer in maritime 
species. Two fine rocky headlands project into the Atlantic, 
one Lamb’s Head which forms the north-western extremity 
of the thirty mile long Kenmare Bay, the other Hog’s Head 
forming the south-western extremity of Ballinskelligs Bay. 
Sandhills of limited extent are found on both sides of the 
Darrynane estuary with small patches elsewhere. Several 
islands occur in Kenmare Bay, the largest being Rossmore and 
Rossdohan near Parknasilla, while Deenish Island rising to 
477 feet and Scariff to 839, are conspicuous objects a few miles 
west of Lamb’s Head. 
Inland, this Barony is wild and rugged with numerous 
mountain peaks rising above 2,000 feet ; they reach 2,576 feet 
north of Lough Brin, 2,539 at Mullaghanattin and 2,468 at 
Beeown north-east of Sneem. Like the Caha Mountains in 
the preceding division, the jumble of cliffs and mountains lying 
north of Sneem would probably repay more detailed examina- 
tion than has yet been given to them. A portion of the large 
lake at Waterville falls within this Barony, otherwise the 
lakelets it contains, although fairly numerous, are all of small 
extent. Streams, too, are short and insignificant, the Finnihy, 
Blackwater and Sneem Rivers being the only ones worthy of 
mention. Limestone rocks occur about Kenmare and for a few 
miles west along Kenmare Bay, while most of the small islands 
thereabouts are of the same formation. 
No railway enters this Barony, nor does it contain any place 
more populous than the village of Sneem with about 400 
inhabitants. Some small harbours are found along this coast- 
line such as West Cove, Darrynane, &c., and give access to afew 
coasting vessels. 
The most productive botanical localities in this division are 
Darrynane, where Arabis ciliata, Microcala filiformis, Simethis 
bicolor, Allium Scorodoprasum and Carex punctata occur, with 
Empetrum nigrum and Juniperus nana at sea-level ; and the 
vicinity of Sneem, with Juncus tenuis, Rynchospora fusca and 
Carex limosa. 
In addition to such characteristic Kerry plants as Saxifraga 
Geum, S. umbrosa, Carum verticillatum, Pinguicula grandiflora
