216 Reports and Proceedings. 
a paper by Mr. W. Harte, C.E., On some Crumpled Granite Beds in 
Donegal. The author stated that attention had frequently been 
drawn to the gneissose character of the granite of that county, 
especially by the Committee. who had presented a report on the sub- 
ject. to the British Association. In parts of the district, patches of 
schists, highly contorted, are found caught up in the granite, which 
latter rock appears at times to pass into schist. The point to which 
he wished to direct the notice of the meeting was the occurrence of 
thin slabs of gneissose granite alongside highly crystalline masses of 
the same rock. In one place, on the road between Dungloe and 
Maghery, he discovered a series of these thin beds as highly con- 
torted as are the schist enclosures before referred to. These beds 
vary from one inch upwards in thickness, and may be traced for 
some distance along the shore. This was the only place where he 
had observed this phenomenon ; and he sent up some specimens of 
the contorted granite, and also a specimen of the granite from the 
immediate vicinity, which did not exhibit the same contortions, but 
“was traversed by joints to such an extent as to render it useless for 
building-purposes.—Mr. Scorr observed that Mr. Harte was a very 
careful observer, who, as they well knew, had added much to 
their knowledge of the Geology of the County. His own recol- 
lection of the immediate locality referred to was that there was a 
considerable amount of schist included in the granite; and at one 
locality at no great distance, called Toberkeen, there was a bed of 
limestone, which contained an abundance of garnet and idocrase, 
indicating considerable metamorphic action. The granite about 
Dungloe, and in the Rosses generally, was very coarse-grained, and 
it was highly interesting that Mr. Harte should have found it to 
be contorted. 
Mr. Jukes then took the chair, and Dr. Carte read a paper On 
some Indented Bones of Cervus Megaceros, found near Lough Gur, 
County Limerick. Dr. Carte referred to Mr. Jukes’ former account 
of indented bones from a bog in Longford (see GEOLOGICAL MaGa- 
zInE, No. VII. p. 28), and stated that he had been supplied by Mr. _ 
Hinckley, of Limerick, with the indented bones exhibited to the 
meeting—namely, a right humerus, right and left radii and ulne, right 
and left cannon or metatarsal bones, left os calcis, and the helm of a 
left horn. An account of the place where they were got was given 
in a letter by Dr. S. Bennett, of Bruff. ‘The marks on the bones, 
and the relative positions when found, were described in detail. A 
polished depression on the left cannon-bone fits into one on the 
left tibia, and similarly the left radius fits against the right cannon- 
bone ; and another concavity in the same cannon-bone fits into the — 
left os calcis. A rough deep cut-like indentation across the right 
radius and ulna fits a deep cut in the posterior edge of the palm of 
the left antler, imbedded in which the bones were found. So also 
the right humerus was found in contact with the posterior and most 
distant tire of the left antler, by which it had been deeply scored, 
and about six inches of which it had severed from the palm. :
