Mr. Gtabdiner, in reply, pointed out that the lowest fossiliferousSilurian beds in the Kilbride and Lough Nafooey areas were ofUpper Llandoveiy age, and corresponded to the lowest fossiliferousSilurian deposits in the Killary district. The Arenig rocks laywith the Llandeilo rocks entirely to the north of them, and theSilurian rocks to the south. It was only in the extreme west of that the Silurian deposits came to rest upon the Llandeilo grits. Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. Vol. LXX, Pl. XVI. Fig. I. Pillow-Lava near the top of Fig 2.
