TA : REPORT—1874, 
1859, he contributed an account of all that had been obtained up to that date. 
Mr. §. A. Stewart subsequently published a list of the fossils of the estuarme 
clays of the counties of Down and Antrim, in which further progress was recorded 
with great accuracy. At the Brighton Meeting in 1872 Professor Edward Hull 
gave lists of shells found in the raised beaches of Balbriggan, Kilroot, and Larne, 
in the identification of which he had heen assisted by Mr. W. H. Baily, F.G.S. 
In the ‘Geological Magazine,’ October 1873, Mr. Alfred Bell, writing on the 
Paleontology of the Postglacial Drifts of Ireland, brings into one memoir many 
details scattered throughout various scientific journals bearing on Irish Postter- 
tiary Geology. In the ‘Geological Magazine’ for May of this year (1874), the Rev. 
M. Close contributed a paper on the elevated shell-bearing gravels near Dublin, 
giving lists of shells found at elevations of 1000 feet and upwards. Mr, Kinahan 
and Mr. Hardman have also written papers bearing on the subject—the former in 
the ‘Geological Magazine,’ March and April of this year, and the latter in the 
‘ Journal of the Royal Geological Society of Ireland.’ 
The author purposed on the present occasion to contribute the names of species 
which had occurred in such localities as he had himself examined. 
These localities are the following :— ; 
(1) Dungiven, co. Derry; (2) Ballyrudder, co. Antrim; (8) Balbriggan, co. 
Dublin ; (4) Howth, co. Dublin; (5) Ballybrack, co. Dublin; (6) Larne Curran, 
co. Antrim ; and (7) Portrush, co. Antrim. 
(1) At the Dungiven Quaternary bed, which rises to the height of 400 feet above 
the level of the sea, he had got the following species :— 
Cardium edule. 
Cyprina Islandica. 
Astarte sulcata. 
Astarte borealis. 
Corbula gibba. 
Turritella terebra. 
(2) From a bed of stratified gravel in the townland of Ballyrudder, on the west- 
ward side of the road and halfway between Larne and Glenarm, Dr. Jeffreys ob- 
tained a most interesting lot of Posttertiary fossils. They occurred at about 15 
feet above high water. They were as follow :— 
Rhynchonella psittacea. 
Mytilus edulis ; fragments. 
Leda pernula; indistinct layers. 
Astarte sulcata, var. elliptica. 
compressa. 
Tellina balthica. 
calcaria. 
Mactra solida, var. elliptica. 
subtruncata. 
Pholas crispata ; fragments. 
Turritella erosa. 
Natica Montacuti. 
affinis. 
Buccinum undatum, var. 
undulatum. 
Trophon clathratus. 
Pleurotoma turricula, var. 
Woodiana. 
Pingelii. 
Balanus tulipa-alba. 
To these the anthor had been enabled to add the following :— 
Cardium, sp. 
Cyprina Islandica. 
Astarte borealis. 
depressa, Brown. 
Mya truncata. 
Saxicava rugosa. 
Puncturella noachina. 
Trochus cinerarius. 
Littorina obtusata, 
rudis. 
— litorea. 
Purpura lapillus. 
Trophon truncatus. 
Cliona borings. 
Annelid borings. 
Mammoth-tooth, exhibited. 
The last item is particularly interesting, inasmuch as it throws light on a disco- 
very recorded by the ‘Clonmel Chronicle’ in the following terms :—“ Ertraordi- 
nary Discovery.—A few days since, as Benjamin Fayle, Esq., of Merlin, was 
walking with his sons on the bye-road leading from Glenhackett to the lower road 
near Kilgany, one of the lads picked up what appeared to be a curious stone, but 
what is in reality the tooth of a Siberian fossil elephant in an excellent state of 
escalate Some weeks since there was a terrible mountain-flood produced by 
eavy rain, and the supposition is the tooth may have been washed down from the
