HAVING already published a brief description of the accessory minerals of the granite in the neighbourhood of Dublin (1928) it had been the writer’s intention to make a study of the whole of the Leinster Granite giving special attention to the accessory minerals. As circumstances prevent the completion of this plan the following account has been drawn up, describing work done upon an area which extends from Dublin Bay to the neighbourhood of Aghavannagh, a distance of about 30 miles (compared with a range of 12 miles in the original paper) or nearly half the total length of the intrusion.
