A maritime division with a very extensive coast line. Lofty 
headlands project into the Atlantic rising to 940 feet near 
Bolus Head, to 793 near Bray Head in Valencia Island, and to 
921 near Doulus Head, a large part of the coast being cliff- 
bound and quite inaccessible from thesea. Extensive sandhills 
occur about the mouth of the Inny River and near Rossbehy, 
with a few smaller tracts elsewhere. Valencia, the largest 
island in Kerry, is included in this division, other islands along 
this coast being Puffin Island on the north side of St. Finan’s 
Bay, and Beginish, of volcanic origin, in Valencia Harbour. 
The most remarkable, however, among the smaller islands are 
the two Skelligs. The larger of these, the Great Skellig, is a 
most imposing mass of rock rising to 714 feet in height and 
lying about eight miles from the nearest mainland. 
Inland, are several rugged mountain ranges. The summits 
surrounding the head waters of the Cummeragh and Inny 
Rivers rise to over 2,000 feet in several places, while the Glen- 
beigh Mountains farther north reach 2,541 feet at Coomacarrea, 
2,442 at Teermoyle, and 2,350 at Meenteog ; Knocknadobar, a 
conspicuous summit north-east of Cahersiveen, rises to 2,274 
feet. Although mountainous on the whole, two broad low- 
lying valleys, those of the Inny and Ferta Rivers, occupy large 
tracts in the west of this division, while its north-eastern corner 
between Caragh Lake and Castlemaine Harbour is covered by 
stretches of peat bog but little above sea-level. The lakes and
