The Wolds resemble an atoll or reef. The Chalk with and that with- 

 out Hints appear to be contemporaneous, the change being lateral.

Moss, Richard J. Report on the Exploration of Ballybetagh Bog. 

 Proc. ]{. Irish Acad. ser. ii. vol. ii. p. 547-552 ; woodcut. 



30 years ago an extensive deposit of remains of Cervus megaceros 

 was discovered in Ballybetagh Bog, Co. Dublin ; and in the summer of 

 1875 a scientific exploration of the ground was determined on. This 

 resulted in a very large find of bones representing about 50 indi- 

 viduals. The bones were found under a considerable thickness of peat, 

 and in and under blue and brown clay. In one place 19 skulls, with 

 antlers attached, were found huddled and locked together amongst 

 granite boulders, apparently the margin of an old mountain-tarn. Jn 

 this and the former exploration remains of HO individuals of the Irish 

 Elk have been got. Some nodules of Vivianito were found in the 

 clays. E. T. U,
