Raised Beaches. County Antrim and Down. 
Resting upon the estuarine clays thick masses of gravel yielding 
shells, and in places flint flakes and other rudely fashioned implements, 
occur in many localities, more especially about Carrickfergus and the 
Curran, Larne. Midway between they may be seen overlying the chalk, 
and other rocks by the railway station.! Here I obtained a number of 
species—the bivalves in pairs and in situ, similar to those seen in a section 
lately opened at the Curran, under the auspices of the Belfast Nat. 
Field Club to determine the greatest depth at which flint implements 
occurred. This was found to be 19 feet from the surface immediately 
above the estuarine clay, and givesa valuable datum line as to the earliest 
known presence of man in Ireland. The suggestion that these gravels are 
the equivalents of the 25-foot raised beaches of Scotland is not borne out 
by the fauna, and I have come to the conclusion that they are much more 
recent. 
The various raised beaches of North-Hast Ireland have a very equal 
fauna, the following list being compiled from the writings of Canon 
Grainger, the Proceedings of the Belfast Field Club, and my own 
findings. .
