overlying the boulder clay in other quarries in the district. It 

 appears to resemble the " glacial talus " described and illustrated 

 by W. G. M'Gee in the vol. of U.S.A. Geol. Survey for 1889 

 and 1890. No shells nor Foraminifera were obtained. Photo- 

 graphs were taken of both quarries. Out of 90 boulders 68 

 were erratics. 



Erratics. — Quartzite (?) Silurian grits and slates, Co. Down. 

 Flints, Co. Antrim, N. Basalt, Co. Antrim, N. 



VI. — BENMORE OR FAIR HEAD. 



Parish of Culfeightrin, County Antrim. Basaltic headland 

 over Carboniferous, 500 to 600 feet above sea level. 



In addition to many larger boulders of which measurements 

 have not yet been obtained by the Committee, a multitude of 

 erratics, varying from the size of small gravel up to a pound in 

 weight, are scattered over the top of Fair Head, from Lough 

 Doo to Murlough Bay ; the Cambrian (or Pre-Cambrian) schists 

 and quartz rocks of Murlough being most abundant. These 

 rocks commence at Murlough, two miles S.E. of the Head, and 

 cover a large extent of country S.E. to Cushendun. On the 

 top of the cliffs over Murlough is a boulder of schist, 5ft. 6in. x 

 5ft. x 2ft. 6in., resting on basalt. 



Erratics. — Quartz. Murlough district, S.E. Eurite, dyke at 

 Tornamoney Point, S.E. Chert, Carb. of district (?) Eurite 

 with Riebeckite, Ailsa Craig, E. 



VII. — THE OLD QUARRY, CARNMONEY. 



In Carnmoney parish, County Antrim, behind the church 

 and graveyard, 450 feet above sea level, N.W. of the volcanic 

 " neck." 



A quarry, 50 feet deep, formerly worked for limestone (Chalk), 

 on the side of Carnmoney hill. Stiff reddish boulder clay, 6 to 

 10 feet deep, lying on rather rotten basalt, which rests upon the 

 irregularly denuded surface of Chalk, which dips to E. at an 

 angle of 5 , bringing up Greensand at W. end of quarry. 

 Section lies N.N.W. by S.S.E. Clay unstratified, abundance 

 of rounded and sub-angular boulders, long axis E. of N. by W.
