k: To open a communication between Killalla^? and Galway^?, by means of the Moy, Loughmask^?, and Loughcorrib^?, was one of the practicable projects of those who were employed to survey the navigable rivers of Ireland in the early part of the eighteenth century, and, if carried into effect, would have porved a most important addition to the internal navigation of this country.
