Dr. BaU, of Trinity CoUege, Dublm. 
I beg to send yon a sketch of the stone 
axe, or celt, and a copy of the certificate from 
Mr. Glennen, the person who found it, who 
also mentioned to me that the late Colonel 
Bruin of Oak Park, county Carlow, had 
found upon his property the head of a Mega- 
eeros having the frontal bone perforated by a 
stone celt which weighed seven and a-half 
pounds, and was found sticking in the skull.

This fine stone celt was found by Richard Glrnnon and James Nolan, of Batchelors-walk, 
Dubhn, stuck in the frontal bone of the female Giant Deer of Ireland, at a place called Lough 
Gur, ten miles from Limerick, on the Cork road. This is ili-. Glennon's account of the hatchet, 
or celt, of which this is an outline : — Its length is eight inches and five-eighths ; breadth at 
the broadest part three inches and five-eighths ; it weighs three and a-half pounds ; the 
greatest thickness is at the dotted hne a b, which is one inch and seven-eighths, when it 
gradually slopes down to a sharp edge ; its gi-eatest thickness at the small end is at the dotted 
hne c d, where it is one inch and three-quarters, when it slopes to a point. 
Mr. Glennon lives at No. 3, Suffolk-street, Dublin, and is a dealer in 
minerals, &c. I believe he Las now two fine heads of the Ile^aceros Hibernicus 
which he would be glad to sell to any of your readers who might have a desire 
to purcliase them. — I remain, Sir, your oljedient servant, E.. Wauchope. 
A Moved Moss at Talkirk. — Very recently a moss hill, situated about 
two miles from the Slomanan Railway station, and measuring in extent about 
30 acres, was lifted by a flood, which carried it to the distance of 500 yards. 
Heaps of the deposit lie about in every direction, which for the time being has 
blocked up the road. The hill was overturned and broken up by the water, 
which had been accumulated to an extraordinary degree, by the heavy rains of 
the previous four or five days. The strangeness of the occurrence has attracted 
crowds to witness the effects of so gigantic a removal.
