Il8 [Proc. B.N.F.C., 



Section exposed in unused quarry, formerly worked for lime- 

 stone and clay for pottery ; on low ground which extends along 

 the Lough. Fine red unstratified sandy clay resting on red 

 Carboniferous limestone (the only outcrop in this immediate 

 neighbourhood). Limestone beautifully polished and scored, 

 but not visible at present, owing to water in the quarry. 



* Astarte sulcata and Leda pernula found and 12 species of 

 Foraminifera. Redeposited fossils, Gryphea incurva and Car- 

 dinia ova/is, Lias of Antrim. Sections of boulder clay further 

 S. contain Carboniferous fossils from Castle Espie. Boulders 

 principally sub. many beautifully marked with delicate parallel 

 striae. 100 taken at random were all erratics. 



Erratics. — Silurian grits and slates, Co. Down. A coarse grit 

 or fine conglomerate, 6 x 3I x 2f , ang., probably of Llandovery 

 age, Co. Cavan, Monaghan, or Armagh W. or S.W. Basalt,

 Bloody Bridge and Glen Fofanny rivers, which descend from 

 the Mourne Mountains (from W.), varying in depth from about 

 12 feet downwards. Typical moraine deposit, principally the 

 debris of granite, resting upon Silurian rocks with rounded 

 granite boulders and sub-angular fragments of Silurian grit. 

 Stratified to a certain degree. No shells nor Foraminifera were 

 obtained. 100 boulders at 3 different points gave 17, 10, and 

 24 per cent, of erratics.
