Calf of Man, island, Rushen par., at SW. extremity of Isle of Man, area 620 ac. Only a small patch of the island is cultivated; the rest is overrun by rabbits. The cliffs were formerly a haunt of the puffin. On the highest point (360 ft.) are the ruins of a very ancient chapel. Calf Sound separates the island from the Isle of Man.
