On some new Localities for Upper Boulder-clay in Ireland. By Kowarp T. 
Harpman, F.0.8., F.B.GAS.L., of the Geological Survey of Ireland. 
In Mr. James Geikie’s valuable work on the ‘Great Ice-Age,’ as well as in a 
former memoir by him on “Changes of Climate during the Glacial Epoch ”*, the 
presence of an Upper Boulder-clay in this country is hardly admitted, save in the 
north-eastern portion, where it is (Somewhat doubtfully) allowed to exist. The 
author now proposed to mention some new localities where he had observed it. 
In various parts of the counties Armagh, Derry, and Tyrone the three divisions 
of the drift are met with, viz. 1. Upper Boulder-clay; 2. Stratified Sand and Gravel 
(Middle Sands); 3. Lower Boulder-clay +; but the Upper Boulder-clay can rarely 
be identified with certainty, except when it rests on the summits of very high drift 
hills, or where sufficiently deep cuttings are found to expose the underlying sands. 
In the neighbourhood of Dungannon, the drift being extremely hilly, the whole 
three merit can be found in places; and a section was exhibited and explained, 
showing the Upper Boulder-clay resting on the Middle Sands, at Castle Hill, 
Dungannon, Killymeal Quarry, and Gortmerron. The Upper Boulder-clay was 
also observed in the Ulster Railway-cuttings at Coolhill and Coolcush, at Windmill 
Hill, south, and Mullaghdun, north of Dungannon, in the vicinity of Stewartstown, 
and in the co. Derry in the low ground to the north of Slieve Gallion. |
