It onlv remains to add a few particulars concerning the list which follows. 
Brackets are used to show all editorial additions— the subject of papers which 
have no printed title, the names of authors of papers published anonymously, 
and all editorial comments, &c. . . , 
When the title of a paper does not sufficiently express its scope, a bnet note 
of its contents is added. ..... 
A hook or paper is not included in the list if it merely quotes from another 
without any original expression of opinion — such, for instance, are the references 
to Irish glacial geology in certain general text-books of geology. 
Announcements of exhibits or donations, accounts of excursions, or other 
officially supplied items in the Proceedings of Societies, are entered under the 
name of the Society publishing them. 
When the date of the reading of a paper before a Society diners from its date 
of publication, the former is usually -given in brackets in addition to the latter. 
The Volumes of Proceedings of Societies are usually published in parts, and the 
publication of a volume frequently extends over several years. In bound volumes 
there is frequently no means of discovering the date of publication of any 
particular paper, owing to the destruction of the covers or temporary title-pages 
of the parts ^ In such cases the date given without brackets is the date on the 
title-page of the volume ; the collective date of the volume being usually added 
in brackets immediately after the number of the volume. 
In addition to the contracted titles already given, the following contractions 
are used : — descr.=description ; ref.=reference ; locs.=localities , glac. 
glacial ; post-glac.=post-glacial ; geol.=geology. 
The list includes papers published up till the end of the year 189o.
