POST-TERTIARY FOSSILIFEROUS DEPOSITS.

28. Dryleys, near Montrose. 



In the brickworks of Dryleys, near Montrose, a thick mass of clay is exposed which 

 reaches the height of 50 to 100 feet. 



In the lower part of the mass especially fossils occur, and the presence of Leda 

 ardica, Pecten Grcenlandicus, a large form of Saxicava riigosa, var. ardica, sufficiently 

 marks the character of the deposit. 



Height above the sea forty feet. 



The following Ostracoda were found : 



Cg there globulifera, Brady, 



— concinna, Jones. 



— mirahilis, Brady. 



— Dimelmensis (Norman). 

 Cijtherldea jimidillata, Brady. 



Sorbi/a7ia, Jones. 

 Cytherura concentrica, n, sp. 

 Cytkeropteron latissimum (Norman). 



— arcuatum, n. sp. 



— injlatum, n. sp. 



— Montrosiense, n. sp. 

 Sclerochilus contortus (Norman). 



29. Barrie, Forfarshire. 



This clay bed is of the same general character as that of Dryleys. It lies along the 

 estuary of the Tay, in a gully in the most recent of the raised sea-margins, which runs all 

 along the east coast, nearly a mile inland. 



The shells indicate a decidedly arctic character ; and amongst them are Mya truncata, 

 Nucida tenuis, Leda permla, and Leda minuta. Hoploaster gracilis is not uncommon.
