The exposed part of the metamorphic envelope on the south side of the Galway granite is described. It is characterized by the presence of pillow lavas and a thick greywacke series containing intraforma-tional conglomerates. This South Connemara Series is tentatively assigned to the Ordovician; such a correlation would require the Galway granite to be a laconic intrusion.
