A mizzly morning on the 13th kept us in doubt about going from 6 o'clock to 10 when we set off in a Car. The house of Mr. R. Martin at Ross149 is situated on the Northern or limestone side of a very long [lake] which winds beautifully among rocky hillets some of which near the house are covered with wood. [p. 128] The views up this lake from some parts of the Shore are very beautiful including the high and extended mountain of Firmnamore & the conical point of Shanafolo.150 I dined & slept at Mr. R. Martin's.
In coming to Ross the road offers an extensive view over Lough Corrib, the third151 body of freshwater in point of size in Ireland. Its shores are bog or limestone nearly flat except at the Western extremity which penetrates between some slate mountains.152
