300 feet above the sea; only a single outer wall remains; and Hunbane Castle, standing upon a mass of white limestone, and connected with the mainland by a narrow ledge. Beneath are several small caves, fantastically shaped in the chalk rock by the action of the waves. On the road towards Ballintoy is the basaltic crag of Carrick-a-Rede, approached on a flying bridge over a chasm eighty feet deep. It is a fishing station for salmon, which approach in shoals, and are caught in a saine net. The ruined castle of Denseverick had been a stronghold of the M'Tuillans, but it subsequently passed into the possession of O'Cahan. The same sort of weird and fantastic scenery continues along the headlands to Bushmills, and thence to the

Giants' Causeway.-The name 'Giants' Causeway,' which custom applies to the whole of this district of bold headlands and basaltic pillars, properly belongs to the low rocky mole which separates the two parts, Ganniay and Noffer. The 'guides,' of whom the tourist will find a superabundance, tell that its greatest length is 700 feet, its greatest breadth 350, and its greatest height about 33 feet. It is said by tradition to have been the work of giants, and to have connected this part of Ireland with Staffa in Scotland, where similar pillars are found. In describing it, Dr. Forbes says, 'The mere Causeway has, indeed, neither grandeur nor scenic beauty; its charm and overpowering interest being derived from quite a different source; while the ranges of cliffs that bound it behind, and stretch along the shore to the eastward of it, exhibit so wonderful a combination of those twin charms as is, I believe, hardly to be paralleled elsewhere.' To see the Causeway, and its magnificent surroundings with advantage, the tourist should devote at least two days to the object, and he will find that his time has been well and profitably employed. On a first view the place is rather disappointing, partly because of the high expectations which have been formed from the multitude of writers who have celebrated its varied beauties. When we last visited it, we were accompanied by an English gentleman and his lady, and we noticed that this was their impression of it; but after we had examined its varied points of interest, taken a view, from the height of Stookans, of the sublime scene that burst
