Waterford.—a maritime co. of Munster province,
Ireland; is bounded N. by cos. Tipperary and Kil-
kenny, E. by co. AYexford, S. by the Atlantic Ocean,
and AY. by co. Cork; greatest length, E. and AA⁷., 52
miles; greatest breadth, N. and S., 28 miles ; average
breadth, 15 miles; coast line about 50 miles; area,
461,552 ac. (5915 water), or 2'2 per cent, of the total
area of Ireland ; pop. 112,768, of whom 95'0 per cent,
are Roman Catholics, 4‘1 Episcopalians, 0’2 Presby-
terians, and 0'3 Methodists. The coast is for the most
part low and dangerous, and is broken by the inlets of
Waterford Harbour, Tramore Bay, Dungarvan Harbour,
and Youghal Bay. About two-thirds of the surface is
hilly or mountainous; the Cummeragh and Knock-
meledown mountains are along the N. border with co.
Tipperary; the Drum Hills occupy a part of the SW.;
the E. district is flat, and much of it is marshy. In
some parts the soil is very fertile, but dairy farming is
much more practised than tillage. Large quantities of
butter and bacon are exported. (For agricultural
statistics, see Appendix.) Slaty rocks prevail; old red
sandstone occurs on W. side of Waterford Harbour.
