As elsewhere in Ireland, the Irish Stoat (Putorius Jnbernicus) is frequent, as also the Alpine Hare (Lepus variabilis}. The Squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), believed to have been introduced into Ireland in Wicklow about 1820, is now widespread in Leinster.

Dublin and its Vicinity
The city and suburbs of Dublin (Self Catering, Dublin, Ireland) are interesting as being the headquarters of two rare plants-Sisymbrium Irio, unknown elsewhere in Ireland, and Mercurialis anmia, which, though frequently occurring about other towns in the southern half of the country, is much more abundant [...]

Dublin and its Vicinity
The city and suburbs of Dublin (Self Catering, Dublin, Ireland) are interesting as being the headquarters of two rare plants-Sisymbrium Irio, unknown elsewhere in Ireland, and Mercurialis anmia, which, though frequently occurring about other towns in the southern half of the country, is much more abundant here than elsewhere. Neither of these plants is indigenous in Ireland.
The two canals which enter Dublin (Hotels, Dublin, Ireland) from the west have been the means of ... Read More

The occurrence of marine shells in the Glacial deposits of Co. Wicklow was for a long time naturally regarded as evidence of submergence beneath the sea. The striations, however, that are found on the rock-floor show that ice sheets traversed the whole country, and the uplift of materials from lower to higher layers of moving [...]
The occurrence of marine shells in the Glacial deposits of Co. Wicklow was for a long time naturally regarded as evidence of submergence beneath the sea. The striations, however, that are found on the rock-floor show that ice sheets traversed the whole country, and the uplift of materials from lower to higher layers of moving ice may now be regarded as well established. Much of our knowledge of tin-history of East Leinster in Glacial times is due to the pioneer-observer Maxwell H. ... Read More
