Abstract
APROPOS of Mr. Tingle's letter of last week, it may be of interest to note that fairly good specimens of “sounding stones” occur at Corick, on the borders of tile barony of Erris, co. Mayo. The bridge at this village is known as the “musical bridge,” from the fact that stones which form the coping of the parapet give out a musical note when struck with a piece of stone or metal.
