		Ross Island (on the west, north, and southwest side of the lagoon) is a thin shell of its former shape – really the outline of the island’s western side.
		In 2003 Ross Island Sand and Gravel indicated to the City of Portland that they would be willing to “give” what is left of the island to the City, once their extraction operations ceased.

		Ross Island, on the eastern side of Lough Leane, saw the mining of copper and other metals at different times over the past four thousand years.
		In all periods at Ross Island mining focused on a copper-rich horizon within the local limestone geology.
		This bedded deposit is bordered on the eastern side by a vein-type structure (the Blue Hole) containing a rich deposit of copper, lead and zinc ore. The mineralisation at Ross Island also has a significant silver content which may have been extracted in ancient times.

	James Ross Island Volcanic Group - ABSTRACT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The Middle to Upper Miocene James Ross Island Volcanic Group is composed predominantly of alkalic olivine-basa1t lavas, palagonite-breccias and subordinate palagonite-tuffs.
		Lavas and palagonite-breccias occur either as "deltaic" structures around the margins of James Ross Island, where they probably resulted from aqueous brecciation of large lava streams flowing from a major volcanic centre, or as individual lava/ palagonite-breccia volcanoes, which were produced by the subaqueous initiation of central eruptions.
		Although the first phase certainly post-dates the formation of a major volcanic centre situated near the middle of James Ross Island, the superposition of one lava/palagonite-breccia unit on another indicates that there was a gradual submergence of the area during the formation of the volcanic group.

	8 Wh- movement: Ross's island constraints
		Having established that wh- movement is subject to the island constraints in questions, we then use the constraints as a diagnostic that certain further constructions in English, including relative clauses and so-called topicalization, are derived by wh- movement as well.
		But Ross 1967 made the important discovery that contrary to what the pattern in (19) suggests, wh- movement is not in fact unbounded.
		Ross introduced the term island to refer to constructions which, like indirect questions, do not allow a wh- phrase to 'escape' from them (the idea behind the metaphor is that the wh- phrase is marooned on the island).

	Murder at Ross Island
		Back in August 1960, two lighthouse relief keepers were stationed on the island, Mr Hugh Clark, a former postman from Main Street, Dalry, a relief keeper who was on duty during the principal keeper's holiday, and Robert Dickson, assistant keeper, a 24 year-old ex-sailor.
		The car, which belonged to Mr Clark, was discovered by the police to be missing from where he always parked it, at Ross Farm, on the nearest convenient mainland point to the lighthouse.
		Little Ross Island is a haven of tranquil beauty now, housing two families who have converted the lighthouse keeper's cottages and are enjoying the peace with the gulls and cormorants.

	11 Wh- movement: Ross's island constraints
		Ross introduced the term island to refer to constructions that do not allow a wh- phrase to 'escape' from them (the idea behind the metaphor is that the wh- phrase is marooned on the island).
		Wh- movement is grammatical as long as the moved phrase (the head of the movement chain) remains dominated by the island node, but becomes ungrammatical once that is no longer the case.
		In (30c), be careful to distinguish the two instances of wh- movement: the lower one within the interviewed clause, which is grammatical and creates the relative clause island, and the higher one within the dislike clause, which is one that causes the ungrammaticality.

		The bedrocks closest to the Ross Island Mine and occupation sites are a series of Carboniferous Limestones including recrystallized, partially silicified and dolomitized, mineralized limestones, unmineralized silicified limestones and limestones with chert bands.
		The nearest Millstone Grit is approximately five kilometres to the northwest of Ross Island whilst the nearest Devonian rocks are the purple sandstones and siltstones of the Ballinskelligs Sandstone Formation about two kilometres west across Lough Leane.
		The area was heavily glaciated and there are thick fill sequences around the town of Killarney and much of this fill comprises Devonian rocks as the ice moved down from the Devonian high ground onto the low ground covering the Carboniferous.
