interesting to the natural historian,* 
* In concluding the account of the mineral constitution of that portion of Ireland which 
I have described, the English geologist cannot fail being struck by the total absence of

quarter of his own island; and which, in the order of succession, being posterior to the 
old sandstone, floetz limestone, and coal formations, constitute in themselves more than
