Vol. 58.] THE FOSSILIFEROUS SILURIAN BEDS OF KERRY. 256 
gap of about 300 yards without exposures. The green Silurian 
flags, when last seen, dip at 25° south 50° east, while the Dingle 
Beds, at their first appearance, are dipping at 60° south 30° west. 
Ata point about 150 yards north-east of the summit these flags yielded 
Orthis elegantula, Dalm. Strophonella funiculata, M‘Ooy. 
O. sp. Chonetes striateila, Dalm. 
West and south-west of the summit of Croaghmarhin there is a 
puzzling and irregular series of dips, indicating the presence of 
faults or sharp flexures. 
Returning to the Dunquin River, we find, east of the point 
where the Ballynahow-Commen tributary joins it, further ex- 
posures of coral-bearing sandy limestone and grey and green 
unfossiliferous flags. At a point about 150 yards west of the main 
road, the beds yielded Dayia navicula, Sow., and Orthis elegantula, 
Dalm. In the ditch at the south side of the road which descends 
from the top of the watershed to join the road from Marhinmore, 
brown calcareous flags, of the tvpe so common in the neighbourhood, 
are frequently exposed. Some 470 feet of these beds are here seen. 
Similar beds are seen close to the Marhinmore road, about 300 yards 
from its point of junction with the Dunquin road. The northern- 
most of the two streams which run down the east side of 
Coumaleague Hill to unite near the hamlet of Coumaleague, shows 
purple Dingle Beds overlying grey flaggy Silurians. Both series 
dip south 45° east, and there can be no doubt that here, as in the 
neighbourhood of Clenlacts the Dingle Beds succeed the outils 
contormably. 
(2) Exposures in the neighbourhood of Teeravane, 
Clogher, and Gortadoo.—Around the hamlet of Teeravane, at 
the northern foot of Croaghmarhin, are a number of exposures of 
yellow and brown, sandy flags and slates, the general dip of which 
is about 45° south 30° east. There are many other exposures of 
similar brown sandy flags in two stream-courses which run down the 
hillside in a north-westerly direction towards Clogher village. In 
the northernmost of these two streams the dip of the upper beds is 
similar in the main to that of the Teerayane beds, that is, south- 
easterly; but just above where the stream crosses the old wheel-track 
the dip is south 15° west. In the southernmost stream, the dip is 
southerly or a little west of south; about 600 feet of these beds 
are seen in that stream. A small band of pale ash is exposed in the 
bed of the northernmost of these two streams, close to the old wheel- 
track. 
Beyond the high road are other exposures of green gritty flags 
in the neighbourhood of Donaghcoor Fort, and along the road from 
the village of Clogher to the coast. 
About half-a-mile east of Ferriter’s Cove, in the neighbourhood of 
the hamlet of Gortadoo, is a small exposure of very hard green grits, 
which dip at 28° south 75° east. They have yielded fistulipora and 
Spirifer crispus, His., and resemble the hard grits of Croaghmarhin
