neighbourhood. Another block of the same limestones, showing 

 a sharp overfold (see fig. 12) and penetrated by a vein of telsite [-ISJ, 

 is found a little farther west beyond a patch of black sandy shales 

 at the base of the cliff and an irregular mass of intrusive greenish 

 felsite [17]. A third block of the limestones, dipping 45° to 60° 

 west-south-westward, is well seen iu a stack on the foreshore.

A == Impure limestones (Tramore Limestone Series) showing folds. 

 B = Intrusive vein of felsite [48] swelling out on the foreshore. 



On the west side of the peninsula called Kilarrasy Island black 

 shales, much disturbed and destitute of any regular sequence, are 

 found poorly exposed on the grassy slopes in association with 

 shattered greenish felsites [797] and a massive columnar felsite 

 [798]. Probably they belong only to an included mass. Towards 

 the western end of this straight stretch of coast, but i mile east 

 of Green Island, black calcareous slates again appear at the base 

 of tbe cliff, and are traversed by numerous veins and tongues of 

 green felsites [783] [781] [779], etc. By the zigzag path down 

 the cliffs to the beach, about 400 yards east of Green Island, 

 shattered and highly cleaved vertical calcareous slates are exposed, 

 similar to those of Stage I at Dunabrattin farther west, and con- 

 taining MonticulijJGi'a _petropolitana.

At the eastern end of Morageeha Strand is an intricate group 

 of intrusive felsit-es, etc. [656] [655], enclosing strips and patches of 

 the black shales which form the cliffs to the west, with a general 

 north-westerly dip of about 60^, still penetrated by occasional veins 

 and irregular tongues of felsite [651] [652] [653]. In places they 

 are much disturbed and contorted. Occasional thin calcareous 

 layers, or tougher, less cleaved, slaty bands are intercalated, and in 

 one case (fig. 13, p. 736) is seen a sharp sigmoidal ibid broken and
