8o The Irish NaUoalist- April, 
Next morning the party will start for a five-days' trip 
along the north coast of Deny and Antrim. For the first 
day alternative excursions are arranged to the beautiful 
basaltic precipice of Benevenagh, with its wealth of alpine 
plants, and the sand-dunes of Portstewart, famous for 
their remains of Neolithic man. The two parties will 
proceed together in the evening to the Causeway, where 
after dinner R. LI. Praeger will speak on " Problems of the 
Irish Flora." Wednesday will be devoted to a thorough 
examination of the Causeway, and the fine headlands to the 
east of it, and in the evening Dr. Dwerryhouse will address 
the members on "Features of Local Geology." Next 
day the party will move on to Ballycastle, visiting the 
famous Whitepark Bay, and the remarkable Chalk headland 
of Kinbane. Friday will be devoted to Fair Head and 
Murlough Bay, the most beautiful and interesting area 
in the North-east of Ireland, on account of its imposing 
scenery, the extraordinary variety of its rocks, and the 
richness of its fauna and flora. On Saturday a short 
excursion will be made to Glenshesk, and visitors will reach 
Belfast in time to catch the evening steamers to English 
and Scottish ports. 
Members of kindred societies and others interested in 
natural science are cordially invited to attend the meeting. 
A full illustrated programme, with time-tables, prices of 
excursions, &c., is about to be issued, and may be obtained 
from the Secretary of the Club, A. W. Stelfox, Scottish 
Temperance Buildings, Belfast, who will also furnish any 
further information required. 
The occasion is exceptionally noteworthy as marking 
an epoch in the progress of natural history studies in 
Ireland. We hope that the meeting will be, in all respects, 
a brilliant success and that the Belfast Field Club may 
start on a new half-century of strenuous and fruitful 
work.
