but two boulders of Lias, one of Tornamoney eurite, and one of 

 Fair Head dolerite were noted. Later, on the foreshore between 

 Kilcoan Pier and Barney's Point, a large "erratic" of Tornamoney 

 eurite was pointed out. It is interesting to note that, although 

 not seen on Saturday, large Ammonites have been obtained from 

 the top bed of the Chalk, varying from 12 to 24 inches in diameter. 

 From the quarry several of the members proceeded to the sea 

 coast to examine the Lias a little south of Barney's Point. A large 

 number of fossils were found, including : — Lima gigantea, L. 

 terquemi, Cardinia ovalis, C. listeri, Astarte gueuxii, Cucullota 

 hettangie?isis, Ostrea liassica, O. acuminata, Cerithium semele, 

 Ammonites Johnstoni, A. Bucklandi, A. angulatus, Cidaris 

 Edwardsii, Pentacrinites basaltiformis, spine of Extracrinus 

 briareus, spines of Cidaris Edwardsii, and some worm-casts. It 

 was here, from the A. angulatus zone, that Mr. Robert Bell a few 

 years ago obtained interesting specimens of Discina Holdeni, on 

 the shell of an Astarte gueuxii. The mineral "beekite," which 

 occurs on fossils in the form of dots, rings, and whorls of chalce- 

 dony, was on Saturday found on a specimen of Ostrea semiplana, 

 and also on one of Inoceramus Crisfii. Two interesting basalt 

 dykes were noted, one traversing the Chalk in the quarry, and 

 one piercing the " Yellow Sandstone." The weather was perfect, 

 and after enjoying tea in the open air, kindly provided by Mrs. W. 

 A. Green, the party returned to Belfast by the 7-35 p.m. train, 

 much pleased with the results of the excursion.
