THE present memoir was undcrtakon in connexion with the preparation. of a Soil Map of the Agricultural Station at Ballyhaise, and the two are now issued together, as an illustration of the origin of various types of soil from local drift deposits and underlying rocks. The lands at Ballyhaiso are of an agreeably varied character, and the memoir shows what may be done in any limited area where agricultural experiments are likely to be carried on, or where a more accurate knowledge is required as to the distribution of particular soils. It is felt that such soil-mapping should be on a large scale, and should be restricted to areas of educational interest, or where special problems from time to time arise. In a virgin country, however, soil-surveys covering broad untenanted areas are no doubt desirable as a guide to future settlers. The general scheme of work for the present memoir was entrusted to Mr. J. R. Kilroe, who has always connected observations on soils with his work on the Geological Survey. Owing to illness, however, he was unable to conduct the survey of the drift deposits at Ballyhaise, and this work, so necessary for the foundation of the soil-map, was carried out by Mr. H. J. Seymour. Mr. T. Hallissy, after determining the characters of a number of soil-types from the area, mapped the boundaries of these types above t,he drift boundaries established by Mr. Seymour ; and the groundwork of the coIoured map now issued was very carefully prepared in the Geological Survey Office by Mr, Gavin, for reproduction by the Ordnance Survey. The colours used for the representation of soil-types were selected on a natural basis, but, fortunately, this presented little difIiculty. It seemed desirable, in the case of the present and future soil-maps, to avoid any clashing * with the well-established tints used for rocks of the various geological systems. In Ireland, the larger part of the Jurassic and Cretaceous systems is absent, and thus a number of orange, yellowish, and greanish tints, nccassary in England, remain free. These have been arranged in sequence, from orange for gravels down to a deep green-blue for clays, and they will, it is bolieved, meet all future requirements. GRENVILLE A. J. COLE, Director.

The Farm attached to this Station consists of about 874 acres, in t,hc County of Cavan, and is situated 4$- miles north by east of the county town. Butler’s Bridge lies 2& miles to the west, and Redhill 3$ miles to the north. The Agricultural Station adjoins the village of Ballyhaisc (population 14.1), three miles from the Railway Station of this nanny. TheI village stands in the broad fl.at valley of the Annalee River, which traverses the farm from east to west, leaving about one-third of it on the north side, and two-thirds on the south. On the north side the farm comprises the townlands of Drumhome and Drumaraw, and parts of Lisnagowan and Carrickmore ; and, on the south, those of Anna&duff, Elteen and Drumcrow, and parts of Drummully, Townparks. and Raheg. TJntil recently the Station had been a well-kept private demesne, with a handsome residence and good out-offices. It is picturesquely situa,tecl beside sharp bends of the river, the residence overlooking in front a bridge which carries the main road from Cavan northwa’rd. Above the bridge, and also overlooked by the residence, are rapids which flow on each side of an island in the river, named Garden Isle. The rapids are exceptional in this portion of the river, its surface being practically unbroken for some two miles above and four L miles below Ballyhaise. Around the residence and at a few other points, the river-banks and undulating surface are prettily decked with woods, which aldd charms to the Station, in pleasing contrast with the uninteresting appeara’nce of the country around. The total area of the farm, together with the areas of wood,* peat,+ water and arable ground, as obtained from the Ordnance maps, in some instances approximately, are presented in the following Table : - * Including bare rock; much of the wood is cut down and in process of replanting. t In process of reclamation-- not reckoned in arable column of Table I. 2 TABLE I., shewing areas of Townlands, Woods, Peat, Arable Land and Water (River) comprised in the Ballyhaise Agricultural Station.

  • Contextual and Historical the Irish for Belturbet: Béal Tairbirt, Meaning "Mouth of the Tairbert’’
    Belturbet Public Art Commission: Contextual and Historical The Irish for Belturbet: Béal Tairbirt, meaning "mouth of the Tairbert’’. It is located on the River Erne, which is linked to the Shannon-Erne Waterway and the River Shannon The Shannon is the longest river in Ireland. The Erne is also connected to the Black Pig’s Dyke. The Erne has long been the main source of commerce for the town. It once contained three ports and was linked to Belfast via the Ulster Canal. It contains many exesting features and connections that are historic record. Today the river and the town of Belturbet is predominantly a tourist destination. The original steering wheel off the Steamship Belturbet is displayed in the main reception area in the Belturbet Railway Centre as a memento to the steamships that sailed the Erne in the 1800s’. The wheel also commerates the connection with the railways. The various vessels carried goods and passengers on a regular service between Belturbet and Enniskillen. On occasions excursions were operated in conjunction with the G.N.R. Railway. Special excursion trains operated from Amian St. Station in Dublin to Belturbet where passengers boarded the steamship at the Quay, downstream of Killconny Bridge. The rope wear marks can still be seen on the bollards. When the Anglo-Normans tried to conquer Cavan in the early 13th century, Walter de Lacy built a motte-and-bailey on Turbet Island, which is situated upstream of Killconny Bridge. The Fort was probably made of wood and it has not survived. However the steep mound of earth where it was built is well preserved.

    Database of Irish Historical Statistics - Language Notes 1 Language Notes on Language (Barony) From the census of 1851 onwards information was sought on those who spoke Irish only and those bi-lingual. However the presentation of language data changes from one census to the next between 1851 and 1871 but thereafter remains the same (1871-1891). Spatial Unit Table Name Barony lang51_bar Barony lang61_bar Barony lang71_91_bar County lang01_11_cou Barony geog_id (spatial code book) County county_id (spatial code book) Notes on Baronies of Ireland 1821-1891 Baronies are sub-division of counties their administrative boundaries being fixed by the Act 6 Geo. IV., c 99. Their origins pre-date this act, they were used in the assessments of local taxation under the Grand Juries. Over time many were split into smaller units and a few were amalgamated. Townlands and parishes - smaller units - were detached from one barony and allocated to an adjoining one at vaious intervals. This the size of many baronines changed, albiet not substantially. Furthermore, reclamation of sea and loughs expanded the land mass of Ireland, consequently between 1851 and 1861 Ireland increased its size by 9,433 acres. The census Commissioners used Barony units for organising the census data from 1821 to 1891. These notes are to guide the user through these changes. From the census of 1871 to 1891 the number of subjects enumerated at this level decreased In addition, city and large town data are also included in many of the barony tables.

In Lough Conn, Lough Gill and North Cavan Lakes. by CHRISTOPHER MORIARTY Departmerrt of Agriculture and Fisheries, Dublin. (Received February 1, 1973}. ABSTRACT A total of 843 immature eels of length 27 to 86 em and ages 5 to 28 years were collected in summer by fyke netting, The North Cavan eels formed a distinct population of large, fast-growing eels, most of which matured before 12 years. The eels of the other lakes were slower in growth and in maturing, substantial numbers of 13 years and older being found. Principal food organisms in-' the Cavan ee'ls were fish and chironomid larvae; in Lough Gill fish for eels of over 50 em and Gammarus and Ephemeroptera larvae for smaller; in Lough Conn, Gastropoda for all sizes. 1. INTRODUCTION The first paper in this series (Moriarty 1973} described the standard techniques used in studying the populations of resident, immature or "yellow" eels in Irish waters. The present paper gives the results of sampling in eight lakes and one portion of river in the northern part of the' country, Loughs Gill and Conn lie on separate river systems while the North Cavan lakes investigated all lie on the River Erne or its trihn­ taries.
