      Oldham, C.H. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)

      Wilson, D. J. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)

    • The arterial drainage of Ireland 

      Stanuell, Charles A. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)

      Samuels, Arthur W. (Statistical and Social Inquiry Society of Ireland, 1906)
