 Beds are seen, particulars of which are given, with notes on the fossils ; 

 amongst these are O^Jiiolepis Damesii and a new species of Pholido-

The district contains Mourne granite and Carlingford granite : the age 



of the former is unknown ; but the latter is post-Carboniferous. The 



basic igneous rocks are: — anorthite-augite syenite passing into augito- 



rock ; crystalline massive greenstone ; fine-grained trap rocks : the first 



is older than the Carlingford granite. The granitic districts are tho
