  A 
  mile 
  north 
  of 
  Larne, 
  near 
  Waterloo 
  House, 
  is 
  a 
  remarkable 
  

   exposure 
  of 
  the 
  Chloritic 
  Sands, 
  of 
  a 
  distinct 
  red 
  colour. 
  It 
  is 
  of 
  

   particular 
  interest, 
  as 
  being 
  one 
  of 
  Dr. 
  Barrois's 
  type-localities 
  for 
  

   beds 
  of 
  Turonian 
  age. 
  The 
  beds 
  are 
  in 
  succession, 
  beginning 
  from 
  

   above 
  : 
  — 
  

  

  (a) 
  White 
  Chalk 
  with 
  irregular 
  flints, 
  containing 
  Belemnitella. 
  mucronata 
  

  

  and 
  Echinocorys 
  scutatus. 
  

  

  (b) 
  Chloritic 
  Chalk, 
  very 
  nodular. 
  

  

  (c) 
  Red 
  glauconitic 
  siliceous 
  limestone 
  (part 
  of 
  Chloritic 
  Sands 
  ?). 
  

  

  Barrois 
  has 
  recognized 
  three 
  bands 
  in 
  this 
  rock, 
  and 
  I 
  shall 
  place 
  

   the 
  list 
  of 
  fossils 
  collected 
  by 
  Messrs. 
  Stewart, 
  McLean, 
  and 
  myself 
  

   side 
  by 
  side 
  with 
  his 
  list, 
  as 
  ours 
  differs 
  in 
  very 
  material 
  particulars.

  The 
  rock 
  is 
  sometimes 
  distinctly 
  oolitic. 
  It 
  will 
  be 
  seen, 
  on 
  

   examining 
  the 
  above 
  lists, 
  that 
  mine 
  differs 
  from 
  that 
  of 
  Barrois 
  in 
  

   giving 
  the 
  rock 
  a 
  higher 
  zonal 
  position 
  than 
  that 
  assigned 
  to 
  it 
  by 
  

   him. 
  For 
  example, 
  we 
  failed 
  to 
  obtain 
  the 
  two 
  distinctly 
  Turonian 
  

   forms, 
  Bhynchonella 
  Cuvieri 
  and 
  Galerites 
  subrotundus, 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  

   time 
  noting 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  Echinocorys 
  scutatus 
  and 
  Galerites 
  albo- 
  

   qalerus, 
  the 
  latter 
  of 
  a 
  type 
  much 
  more 
  characteristic 
  of 
  the 
  Senonian.

  I 
  gather 
  that 
  the 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  rock 
  which 
  we 
  found 
  most 
  fossiliferous 
  

   would 
  correspond 
  most 
  nearly 
  with
