Extract

In the 'eighties of last century R. G. Symes and A. McHenry mapped the schists of Antrim for the Geological Survey of Ireland. They made abundant records of dip, which are still valuable though, owing to the difficulty of the subject, not uniformly reliable. They also indicated outcrops of limestone at Torr Head and, 8 miles inland, at Glenshesk and Breem. The schist area of Antrim is contained in Sheets 8 and 14 of the one-inch to the mile Geological Survey Map of Ireland (text-fig. 1).
