Vol. 58. | THE FOSSILIFEROUS SILURIAN BEDS OF KERRY. 241 
C(1). The junction between the Silurian beds and the Old Red 
Sandstone which, as already mentioned, extends along the northern 
coast of the Clogher-Head promontory, is wel] shown on the southern 
side of the point midway between Coosmore and Trabaneclogher (see 
fig. 10). The conglomerate is seen resting on the Silurian with an 
Fig. 10.—Section through part of the coast, north-east of Coosimore.

unfaulted unconformity; but both beds are markedly aftected by 
a large compound fault, and repeated. The Silurian beds have 
become stained red where in contact with the conglomerate, but 
they are elsewhere green flaggy grits, weathering yellowish-brown. 
They occupy the whole of the southern side of the inlet of Trabane- 
clogher and part of its eastern side ; while they are also to be seen 
all the way up the stream which comes down from the village of 
Clogher, as far as the village itself. Their dip near the con- 
glomerate is 45° south 25° east, while in the Clogher-village stream 
it is 41° south 21° east. They have yielded Monticulipora sp. (?), 
Halysites sp. (?), and Atrypa reticularis (Linn.), and are often 
crowded with worm-tracks, while coral-layers are seen at intervals. 
We regard these beds as belonging to the lower part of the Ludlow 
Series. 
C(2). On the east side of Trabaneclogher a sandstone is seen: 
underlying the beds just described, except for a short distance near 
the spot where the road from Teeravane comes down to the 
beach. This sandstone, the colour of which varies from green to 
yellowish-brown, dips at about 45° south 20° east, and forms the 
whole of Drom Point. It is occasionally ashy, particularly towards 
the base, fragments of purple and green rhyolite being abundant 
in these ashy beds. Worm-tracks are very common (see fig. 11, 
p. 242), and we have also found :— 
Favositella sp. Atrypa reticularis (Linn.). 
Favosites Forbesi (M.-Edw.). Pterinea sp. 
Streptelasma sp. Pieces of crinoid-stems. 
C(3) is identical with the band B(2) on Clogher Head. (See 
p- 238.) 
C (A) is a thick mass of fine red sandstone, with abundant bands 
of both coarse and fine ash. (See fig. 12, p. 242.) Rhyolitic 
fragments are not conspicuous, except in the lower beds.
