The following notes have been made during a few weeks' holiday in the Isle of Man, and my special object is to notice those points which have a bearing upon the geology and physical history of the neighbouring Cumberland mountains. For many years I have, from time to time, looked across to the hills of Mona's Isle, regarding them as a portion of the Cumbrian group standing aloof from their brethren, and often have I wished to carry my hammer amongst them. My wish has at last been fulfilled, but the bad weather of the coldest of summers has prevented the observations made being as full as I had intended. Such as they are I offer them.
