number of fossils. The exposure in the field south of the Castle 

 in the townlaud of Castleton (locality 17 of the Survey Memoir, 

 Explan. Sheets 167, 168, etc.) is in an old overgrown quarry in 

 which, the dip of the beds is still visible, and is marked on the map 

 as 80° N.W. From this small exposure I obtained, with difficulty, 

 the following fossils : — 



Fhacops Jamesi, Portl. Thyllopora Hisingeri, McCoy 



Orthis flabellulum, Sow. Stenopora fibrosa, Goldf. 



0. crispa, McCoy S. (P) lycoperdon, Hall 



All of these also occur in the far richer locality at Quillia, to be 

 immediately mentioned, and in addition to the above there are 

 recorded in the Survey Memoir the following species : — 



Cheirurns iimucronatus, Murch. Orthis elegantula, Dalni. 



Cyhele verrucosa, Daliu. Flectamhonites [Leptcena) sericea, Sow. 



lllcenus Bowmani, Salt. Mafinesquina expansa. Sow. [Strophomena 

 Orthis calligramma, Dalm. concentrica) 



The species of Phacops recorded in the Survey Memoir here and at 

 Quillia as Ph. Brongniarti is really Ph. Jamesi, as I have deter- 

 mined by examination of the Survey specimens. I have not myself 

 found nor recognized in any collection specimens of the true 

 Ph. Brongniarti from these places. 



At Quillia, about a mile south of the Castletown locality, this 

 brown calcareous sandstone is exposed in the banks of a lane leading 

 to a farm off the high road ; it dips to the NNW. at about 50°. Its 

 fauna is rich in individuals, but not particularly so in species. The 

 following fossils I have collected at this spot : — 



Asaphus gigas, De Kay Rafinesquina expansa, Sow. 



Cybele tramorensis. Reed R. deltoidea, Conr. 



C. verrucosa, Dalm. Plectambonites sericea. Sow. 



Phacops Jamesi, Portl. Caryocystites granatum, Forbes 



Orthis calligramma, Dalm. Hchinosphcerites, sp. (?) 



0. crispa, McCoy Glyptocrinus, sp. (?) 



0. elegantula, Dalm. Stenopora fibrosa, Goldf. 



0. testudinaria, Dalm. Nebulipora lens, McCoy (?) 



Of the above fossils Phacops Jamesi is by far the most abundant. 

 Plectambonites sericea is also very plentiful. In the Dublin Museum 

 there is from this spot a head-shield of Cyhele tramorensis, a species 

 which I described^ from a solitary specimen found here by me in 

 1894. The Survey Memoir also mentions the following species 

 from Quillia : — 



Amphion pseudo-articulatus, Portl. 



Calymene brevicapitai.a, Portl. 



Orthoceras Brongiiiarti (?), Troost 



The next locality for fossils lies on the west side of the Traraore- 

 Waterford Railway, and the exposures occur on the hill in the 

 townland of Pickardstown. It is sometimes spoken of as Drum- 

 cannon and corresponds to "locality ]9" of the Survey Memoii*. 



There is more than one fossiliferous bed exposed on this hill, and 

 the relations of the various beds are fairl}'^ plain. On the lower 

 slopes of the east side of the hill occur black slates dipping N.W.
