124. Bonshawburnhead Quarry, east of Quarry Park, two miles and 



a half south-east of Ecclefechan. 



125. Cauldronlee Quarry, five miles north-east of Ecclefechan — a red and 



white shale above the greenish-grey limestone. 



IRELAND. — Table III. 



The divisions of the Carboniferous Limestone series in Ireland are as follows, in 

 descending order : 



I. Yoredale Rocks and Millstone Grit (usually termed in Ireland " Coal-measures 



and Millstone Grit"). 

 II. Upper Limestone. ") No true boundary exists between these two 



III. Middle Limestone or " Carp." ) divisions. 



IV. Lower Limestone — about 200 feet. 

 V. Lower Limestone shale. 



Hitherto Eoraminifera have only been found at two localities in condition sufficiently 

 well preserved to admit of ready identification, and their discovery is due to my friend Mr. 

 Joseph Wright, E.G.S., of Belfast, to whose kindness I am indebted for my specimens. 



126. Castle Espie, near Comber, Co. Down, on the north-west shore of 



Strangford Lough. The material is a soft calcareous shale of the Lower 

 Limestone series, from a detached patch of Carboniferous lying on the 

 upturned edges of Silurian rocks. 



127. Bundoran, Co. Donegall, three miles south-west of Ballyshannon. A 



Lower Limestone shale with bands of impure limestone. Material obtained 

 from beds exposed along the shore. 



161. Galway, a microscopical section of Carboniferous Limestone from the 

 Galway rocks, in Prof. Wm. King's collection, contains a few small and 

 somewhat indefinite Endothyrce, but not sufficiently representative to be 

 catalogued.
