Wright — List of Irish Cretaceous Microzoa 77 



9. Cave Hill, Co. Antrim. Quarries 2 miles N. of Belfast. 



On account of the close proximity of these extensive quarries to the town 

 of Belfast, they have been better examined for Chalk powder than any of the 

 other localities. In the rubbish heaps outside the quarries occur numbers of 

 flints containing Chalk powder, rich in fossil Microzoa. Among the many rare 

 forms found at this place the following may be mentioned as of special 

 interest, viz. : Lihiola ( Haplostiche) clavulina, Flabellina lingula, F. rugose, 

 and Lingulina carinata. 



10. Whitewell, Co. Antrim. Quarry 4 miles N. of Belfast, on the An- 

 trim Road. 



The Chalk powder found in the flints in this quarry was rich in the usual 

 fossils. Two very rare Foraminifera were found here, viz.: Marginulina 

 seminotata, and Cristellaria (Saractnaria) Italica. 



11. Whiteabbey, Co. Antrim. Quarry 1 mile W. of Whiteabbey station 

 on the Northern Counties Railway. 



The Chalk powder collected from this quarry contained the usual Chalk 

 Ostracoda and Foraminifera, but very few Sponge spicules. 



12. Woodburn, Co. Antrim. Quarry at the head of Woodburn Glen, 

 z\ miles N.W. of Carrickfergus. 



I only once visited this quarry, and whilst there collected several pounds 

 weight of Chalk powder ; it was found to contain Microzoa in great profusion. 

 Many rare Foraminifera occurred, and all our Irish Chalk Ostracoda, with the 

 exception of Cythere Iernica. Vaginulina costulata and Gaudryina pupoides, 

 var. prcelonga, were among the rare Foraminifera found here. 



13. Whitehead, Co. Antrim. Quarry convenient to Whitehead station 

 on the Northern Counties Railway. 



A small quantity of Chalk powder was collected at this quarry, it con- 

 tained the usual Chalk Microzoa ; Frondicularia inversa has been found in this 

 quarry. 



14. Blackhead, Co. Antrim. \\ miles N.E. of Whitehead station, rocks 

 exposed along the shore under the headland. 



A few flints were met with at this spot ; they contained Chalk powder in 

 quantity, which proved highly fossiliferous.
