Abstract
IT seems of interest to record that the eurite or microgranite containing blue amphibole (Riebeckite), the rock noticed by Mr. P. F. Kendall in the drifts of the Isle of Man and Caernarvonshire, occurs abundantly in the form of small pebbles on the shore at Killiney, co. Dublin, doubtless derived from the “glacial gravels” of the coast. I have also found a pebble in the raised beach at Greenore, co. Down.
