rath. The calcareous slate of this place contains the usual fos¬ 
sils, and in abundance. 
Rush, in the county of Dublin, is a village on the sea-shore, sixteen 
miles N.E. of Dublin, and seven N.E. of Malahide. This is a 
calcareous slate locality, and the rocks on the shore are well ex¬ 
posed ; but it may be said of them generally that they contain 
very few fossils. The rocks in some places are very much con¬ 
torted. Towards the south, near the village, there are a few beds 
of limestone in the black slaty rock, and there is one place, half a 
mile north of the village, where a bed of pure gray limestone, 
about nine inches thick, contains many of the fossils peculiar to 
the gray limestone; but to the north of this place, for a mile, 
no fossils were found. 
Salmon, in Dublin, is three miles south of Balbriggan. The quar¬ 
ries here are in light gray pure limestone, like that at Milver¬ 
ton and Ballykea, and contain a variety of fossils. 
Scariff, in Clare, is a small town, eight miles N.W. of Kilaloe, and 
nineteen miles east of Ennis. The town stands in a limestone 
valley, which runs east and west. The rock is fossiliferous. 
Scraghy, in Tyrone, is six miles S.W. of Castlederg. This is a lo¬ 
cality of shales, sandstones, limestones, and ironstones , and con¬ 
tains many fossils. 
Shanbally, in Cork, is five miles S.E. of the city, and one mile S.W. 
of Monkstown. The calcareous slate here is full of fossils. 
Shean, in Fermanagh, is on the west shore of Lough Erne, less than 
a mile north of the village of Churchhill. Black slate, which 
here comes in contact with a greenstone dyke, contains corals, 
which are all turned white near the dyke, but of the usual colour 
of the rock at a few yards distant. 
Shrule, in Longford, is four miles N.E. of Ballymahon. This is a 
limestone and a fossiliferous locality. 
Slane, in Meath, is a small town. Half a mile east of it are lime¬ 
stone quarries, which afford the usual fossils. 
Spierstown, in Donegal, is two miles east of the town of Donegal, 
and north of the Londonderry road. The limestone and shales 
which occur at the base of the carboniferous limestone are found 
here, and contain fossils. Athyris depressa is got here plenti¬ 
fully. 
St. Doulough’s, in Dublin, is five miles N.E. of the city, on the Ma-
