Dr. Smith complains of the waste of timber then going on. 
In some of the remoter valleys, a straggling storm-tossed 
growth of Holly, stunted Oak and Birch may still be seen, 
the scanty survival* of what was probably an extensive 
forest. Very fine Hollies, however, are still to be found in 
various parts of the county, as in the lower portion of the 
Hag’s Glen on the ascent to Carrantuohill, on Innisfallen 
and elsewhere about the Killarney Lakes. A tree on Dinis 
Island measured in 1904, was 7 feet 3 inches in girth at three 
feet above the ground; another tree near Tore waterfall 
was over 94 feet in girth ; another on Innisfallen measured 
the same year was 114 feet in girth at two feet from the 
ground, it there divided into three branches of 5 feet 6 inches, 
5 feet 5 inches, and 4 feet 4 inches respectively ; while a 
second tree on the same island, nearly dead from old age, 
measured 14 feet in girth at three feet above the ground.

* Although the smelting works have long since ceased their work, this 
destruction, unfortunately, is still going on, Within the writer’s memory 
one at least of these old forest survivals, in the Clydagh valley, Glenflesk, 
has been almost completely destroyed.
