GOLD SAND IN ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, WALES, AND IRELAND. 219 
Clwydd. In the same gravel of Cornwall, and in that of Devon, 
Wales, and Scotland, small pebbles and grains of gold have occa¬ 
sionally been found; and in Ireland the gold mine that was worked 
a few years since in the county of Wicklow was simply a stream-work, 
in which the gold was dispersed in the form of small pebbles and 
sand, through a bed of gravel*.
