Mr. Weaver on the 
curve of the hill to the east ; in some cases directly in contact with 
the trap rock. The limestone conglomerate consists of a base of 
limestone or calcareous spar, enveloping rounded and angular frag- 
ments of trap and limestone ; and in the conglomerate, entrochites 
are to be found, and also the anomites productus of Martin. This 
stone occurs also in loose pieces scattered over the hill, generally in 
a crumbling or decomposing state. 
We may here remark that as Pallis hill bears some analogy to 
Croghan hill, in the King's county, in the nature of its mineral 
structure, so it does also in the quality of its soil, with which it 
may vie in fertility. These hills are distinguished for the perma- 
nency of their verdure. 
§ 177. Immediately to the westward of Pallis hill, are the two 
small low hills of Mount Sion, consisting of limestone strata, dip- 
ping gently toward the south. Beyond these hills to the north- 
west, and adjoining to the vale below, is the slight eminence of 
Drumbawn, principally composed of reddish brown trap, disposed 
in massy strata, five or six feet, or more in thickness, with a slight 
inclination toward the south. More to the westward we find the 
limestone hill of Knockeen, abrupted toward the vale on the north, 
and displaying strata from six inches to three feet thick, which dip 
12* toward the west. And between Knockeen on the north, and 
the village of Caherconlish on the south, is the small hill called 
Baluilth, wholly composed of trap ; being in general a bluish grey 
close grained rock, much intermixed with carbonate of lime ; and 
sometimes it appears as a perfect trap conglomerate, in which entro- 
chites are discernible. 
§ 178. To the south of the village, and at the northern foot of 
Knock Rua Caherconlish, just above Major Wilson’s house, lime- 
stone strata crop out, dipping 45° toward the south. The hill above
