Mr. Weaver on the 
fluence of the Barrow with the Suire on the south, encircles Bran- 
don, except on the eastern side, and partly occupies the range 
extending toward Slievenaman on the west. 
Clay slate also occupies the eastern foot of the Mount Leinster 
granite chain, ranging up into the barony of Shillelagh, where it 
forms the western side of the valley, resting on mica slate ; while 
on the eastern side, the brows of the hills, extending from Conna 
mountain to Crogan Kinshela, display only granite supporting clay 
slate; (see PL 10. No. 18.) 
§ 59. Granite breaks forth again in a detached and insulated 
portion on the south-western side of Macreddin hill, where the 
rock in contact with it is mica slate ; this, however, soon passes 
into clay slate, which composes the mass of the hill ; but granite 
re-appears at its north-eastern foot at Ballynaclash, crossing the 
Avonbeg and forming on the eastern side the low rocky ridge 
ealled Bally nacarrig ; (see PL 8. No. 7.) 
% 60. This rock is a'gain observed on the eastern bank of the 
Avonmore in the town lands of Ticlash, Rockstown, and Shraugh- 
more, whence it spreads in a north-east direction through the Bola 
flat to West Aston, constituting the mass of this hill; (see Plate 8. 
No. 7.) and also the flat north of it, which extends to the eastern 
entrance of Deputy’s Pass, and to the foot of Kilnamanna hill ; and 
thence forming the low rocky ridge, called Carrigmore, which rises 
above this flat, it proceeds eastward and is connected with the west- 
ern part of Dunganstown range, a slight interval only occurring 
between them, in which flows the Potter’s river. The general 
characters of this granite are different from what I have met with 
in any other portion of the tract ; quartz, comparatively speaking, 
seldom appears in it ; the prevailing ingredients are felspar and mica, 
sometimes the one, sometimes the other predominating, as in West
