II.—Dingle and Glengariff Grits
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 May 2009
Extract
From the comments on my discussion of the relations existing between the Dingle beds and the Glengariff grits, with the accompanying diagrammatic section (Geol. of Ireland, chap. iv. p. 52), it would appear that it is not as clear as it might be. I therefore propose now to explain myself more fully on this subject.
