and Kenmare. The principal headlands from N. to S.
are Kerry Head, Brandon Head, Slea Head, Bray Head,
and Bolus Head. The largest islands are Valentia
and the Blasket group. The greater part of the sur-
face is bleak and mountainous, but there is also much
romantic scenery. The principal summits are Carran-
tuohill or Carn Tual (3414 ft.), in the range of Macgilli-
cuddy’s Reeks, the loftiest mountains in Ireland;
Bautregaum, 2784 ft., and Mangerton, 2751 ft. The

principal are the celebrated Lakes of Killarney. None
of the numerous rivers are of great length. There are
several medicinal springs. The ores of iron, lead, and
copper are abundant in the S.; slate and flag-stone are
quarried in Valentia. The chief crops are potatoes,
oats, and turnips. (For agricultural statistics, see
