one of the Skellig islands so called; situated off the coast of the county of Kerry, in the province of Munster in Ireland. It is rather a round rock, always above water, and therefore no way dangerous to ships. An incredible number of gannets and other birds breed here; and it is remarkable that the gannet nests nowhere on the southern coasts of Ireland but on this rock, though many of them are seen on all parts of our coast on the wing. There is another rock on the northern coast of Ireland remarkable for the same circumstance.
