RESEARCHES AMONG THE PALAEOZOIC ROCKS OF IRELAND. 129 
2. On the east side of Smerwick Harbour it is visible at Ballyda- 
vid Head, forming also at this place a narrow band along the coast. 
3. At Beenaman, in the townland of Ballinahow, skirting along 
the northern base of Brandon Mountain to Brandon Head, where it 
turns southward, and inland. These three strips, though separated 
by indentations in the coast, seem to be a continuation of the same 
band, composing the basal beds of the Old Red Sandstone, from 
Sybil Head to Brandon Head, a distance of ten miles. The rock is 
the same in lithological appearance in all those three patches, and 
in the magnificent coast view, looking from Beenaman towards 
Sybil Head, this band exhibits a remarkable uniformity of strike 
and dip the whole way. 
4. Proceeding eastwards, the next in order is at Kinard, three 
miles S. E. of Dingle,which I have just described. 
5. The conglomerate is visible on the summit of the hill at Hill- 
ville, four miles west of Castlegregory, forming a cap there also, in 
extent nearly a square mile. 
6. At Gleenteenassig, four miles north of Aunascall, and eleven 
miles E. N. E. of Dingle, there is a remarkable precipice, above 100 
feet high, called Foylenagreave, immediately west of Lough Slat, in 
which the conglomerate, above 60 feet thick, dips N. W. 25, overly¬ 
ing a brown, micaceous, flaggy grit rock, which dips N. W. 60°. This 
is a very wild, romantic spot, and though I did not examine the 
country westward of Lough Slat, I believe this conglomerate exists 
over a large area in this locality, not yet known, which would be 
well worthy the attention of a geologist. 
7. The Hill of Doon, half a mile S. E. of Lough Slat, and four 
miles N. of Aunascall, has a cap of conglomerate a quarter of a mile 
in diameter, dipping N. about 30°, and lying on thick, strong, green 
grit beds, which are visible in the next stream eastwards, where 
they dip W. 60°. 
8. On Cummeenhill, about a mile east of Doon, is another patch of 
the same rock, dipping the same way, and lying on green grits and 
slates, which have a dip of 60° W. This is well exposed in a high 
cliff, west of Loughacummeen. I believe this conglomerate exists 
eastwards, On the summit of the hills in the townlands of Magha- 
sheela and Glanlough North, but did not examine the ground. 
Here I may observe, that in Munster the Carboniferous forma¬ 
tion exists to a great thickness between Tralee Bay and the Galtee
