Abstract
To the south-east of Donegal Town (Eire) predominantly psammitic meta-sediments, the Lough Derg Psammitic Group1, are flanked by Carboniferous rocks to the east and west. To the north they are structurally overlain by rocks which have been assigned to the Dal-radian Series1 or possibly the Upper Moine2. The similarities in general lithology, mineralogy and texture between the Lough Derg Psammites and the Moine Schists of Scotland, described and commented on by Anderson1, are undoubtedly close but as yet no detailed lithological comparisons have been made.
