In a paper on a comparison of the drift of Ireland with that of Lancashire, the author Prof. Hull states, that he recognized the equivalents of the English beds in the drift cliffs at Killiney, Co. Dublin, and in the Geol. Mag. for March, 1872, Mr. J. Geikie has quoted Prof. Hull: I therefore request leave to say a few words about the gravels of Ireland, more especially as Mr. Geikie seems to have mistaken my notes on the Irish drift, making it appear that I believe the “Esker Gravels” contain similar marine fossils to those characterizing the “Manure Gravel” of the Co. Wexford. Such a statement, however, would not bear investigation.
