FIELD CLUB NEWS. 



The above paper is the first of a series on the Natural History of Irish 

 Bats, which Dr. Alcock hopes to contribute to our pages during the 

 year. An illustrated article on the Whiskered Bat will appear next 

 month. 



The Limerick Field Club is to be heartily congratulated on the success 

 which attended its annual meeting and conversazione on January 10. 

 The proceedings were varied and interesting, and the report submitted 

 by the Committee spoke well for the future prosperity of the Club. 

 The attendance of members and friends was a thing to be envied by the 

 Clubs of Dublin and Belfast at their Annual Meetings. 



The mid-winter excursion of the Belfast Club, which is now becoming 

 a recognised institution, took place, as usual, on Boxing Day. Our 

 naturalists are too inclined to consider that excursions can be pleasant 

 and interesting only in summer time. The experience of the Belfast 

 members who have devoted the day succeeding Christmas for the last 

 three years to a long day in the open, is certainly quite the reverse. 



One of the last acts of the late Lavens M. Ewart, of Belfast, was to 

 present the Editors of the Irish Naturalist with a set of photo-zinco 

 blocks for the production of a stamped design for the covers of bound 

 volumes of this Journal, similar to that which distinguishes the covers 

 of our monthly numbers. Orders for binding according to this new 

 design will be received by Messrs. Eason.
