Craigavad. — The fossils noted from this locality were obtained from the 
railway cutting about three-quarters of a mile east of the station. A very 
small exposure of black shales occur associated with purple shales and grits. 
The few fossils obtained point to the similarity between the containing beds 
and those of Ballygrot, of which they are doubtless the south-westerly exten- 
sion. 
The accompanying table gives a list of the fossils which I have collected 
from the foregoing localities. The total number is seventy-five species and thir- 
teen named varieties, in all representing twenty-five genera. This is exclusive 
of many doubtful forms that have been laid aside waiting better specimens to 
enable their identification ; also, several that are undoubtedly new, but which 
are either too fragmentary or badly preserved to warrant a diagnosis. 
The following is a synopsis of those already named, shewing the zoological 
groups to which they belong : —
