- (continued from previous page)water in Ireland, a country abounding in great lakes. The little River Corrib connects the lake with the sea at Galway.The Corrib is divided into three parts; the Lower Lake lying in a limestone basin between bare stony plains, relieved by dark woods and ferny hollows around Moycullen; the "Old Lake", broad deep and many-islanded, bordered with granite, metamorphic rock and fossiliferous schists east of Cong, and, lastly, the narrow and lovely fiord which runs far into the mountains at Maam, stretching into Connemara.Strategically the lake forms part of the great barrier.
