Towards the Galtees, in Tipperary. CERTAIN writer, in a moment of mental rock ridge of the Galtees, stretching for about fifteen aberration, referred to Ireland as an "ugly miles to the north of the Caher-Mitchelstown road. A picture in a beautiful frame." Apart from this The formation is ilurian with overlying sandstone uncomplimentary reference to the centre of the country along the crests. Tipperary town to the north of the (and such a competent judge as Mr. Stephen Gwynn range is not as near as either Cahir or Mitchelstown, has expressed the opinion that sunset over the Bog but the mountains fall away more steeply on this side of AlIen is the most beautiful sight we have to show), into the Glen of Aherlow and provide better sport. the erroneous impression is conveyed that the country Greenane may be climbed from about midway along is shaped like a saucer.

The northern extremity of this 1,000 feet and the rock climber will find plenty of sport mountain system is in Leix and Offaly, anciently here. The vegetated walls are dangerous as the holds believed to be the centre of Ireland and actually not very far from it. Moreover, we have close on ISO summits in the area over 1,000 feet in height; thirty-one of these exceed the 2,000 feet contour line with twelve " twenty-fives," including a 3,000 feet peak. Anyone possessing even a nodding acquaintance with hill country need not be told that such an area requires no further advertisement to bring the active traveller along. In fact, it is beautiful and unspoiled. There are no restaurants disfiguring the summits, no crowds, no fuss, just great stretches of rock, grass and moorland, little changed from the days when Spenser drew inspiration from the land cape while penning "The Faery Queen" in the old castle of Kilcolman. Some of the forests have been cut down, but the climber with experience of other countries will not regret that. There are plenty of woods in contrast to the bare mountain tops but no primeval forests that shut out the sun during the greater part of the day's journey. THE GALTEES.
