  Localities 
  in

  the 
  Shells 
  were

  Toxteih 
  Parle. 
  — 
  The 
  whole 
  of 
  these 
  specimens 
  were 
  taken 
  from 
  the 
  

   brickfields, 
  and 
  were 
  distributed 
  through 
  the 
  clay. 
  There 
  are 
  thirty 
  

   species. 
  Elevation 
  about 
  120 
  feet 
  above 
  ordnance 
  datum. 
  

  

  KirTcdale 
  Upper 
  Brickfields. 
  — 
  Most 
  of 
  these 
  specimens 
  were 
  taken 
  

   from 
  the 
  clay 
  in 
  the 
  brickfields 
  near 
  to 
  the 
  Kirkdale 
  Industrial 
  Schools, 
  

   just 
  above 
  Bootle-Lane 
  Station. 
  Level 
  about 
  125 
  feet 
  above 
  0. 
  D. 
  

   (16 
  species). 
  

  

  KirTcdale 
  Lower 
  Brickfields. 
  — 
  These 
  occurred 
  in 
  the 
  brickfields 
  

   between 
  the 
  latter 
  place 
  and 
  Sandhills 
  Station. 
  The 
  shells 
  are 
  very 
  

   sparsely 
  distributed 
  through 
  the 
  clay 
  (9 
  species). 
  

  

  Bootle-Lane 
  Station. 
  — 
  These 
  shells, 
  though 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  same 
  

   locality 
  as 
  the 
  last 
  two, 
  were 
  taken 
  from 
  the 
  railway-cutting, 
  where 
  

   the 
  distinction 
  of 
  beds 
  could 
  be 
  observed. 
  The 
  upper 
  beds 
  correspond 
  

   with 
  the 
  beds 
  of 
  the 
  Kirkdale 
  brickfields. 
  The 
  shells 
  of 
  the 
  lower 
  

   bed 
  were 
  collected 
  for 
  me 
  mostly 
  by 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  men 
  working 
  at 
  the 
  

   excavations. 
  Surface

  120

  Outlet 
  Seiver. 
  — 
  Surface-levels 
  are 
  between 
  the 
  25 
  

   and 
  50 
  feet 
  contours. 
  The 
  shells 
  were 
  all 
  picked 
  by 
  me 
  from 
  the 
  

   clay 
  thrown 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  excavations. 
  It 
  was 
  pretty 
  rich 
  in 
  shells. 
  

   To 
  all 
  appearance 
  the 
  bed 
  was 
  like 
  the 
  preceding 
  brick-clays. 
  A 
  nest 
  

   of 
  decomposed 
  greenstone 
  boulders 
  occurred 
  at 
  one 
  spot.

  Garston. 
  — 
  These 
  were 
  picked 
  promiscuously 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  railway- 
  

   cutting 
  and 
  dock 
  excavations. 
  Those 
  from 
  the 
  dock 
  were 
  below 
  high- 
  

   water 
  mark 
  (9 
  species).

  Taken 
  from 
  the 
  face 
  of 
  sea-cliff 
  between 
  Dawpool 
  and 
  

   West 
  Kirby, 
  9 
  species. 
  Mr. 
  Mackintosh 
  has 
  given 
  a 
  list 
  of 
  fifteen 
  

   species 
  from 
  the 
  lower 
  Boulder-clay, 
  thirteen 
  of 
  which 
  I 
  have 
  marked 
  

   A 
  in 
  this 
  column 
  ; 
  the 
  other 
  two 
  species 
  are 
  Scrobicularia 
  alba 
  and 
  

  

  uncommon 
  in 
  our 
  Scottish 
  glacial 
  clays, 
  raised 
  beaches, 
  and 
  in 
  the 
  present 
  

   surrounding 
  seas.

  Lagena
