SECTIONAL EXCURSIONS. 
The Committee, having decided to make an effort to estab- 
lish two Sections——the ‘‘ Art and Antiquities ’’ Section, and the 
‘Field Naturalists ’’ Section,—a circular setting forth the views 
of the Committee, and laying stress upon the educational value 
of a thorough working of the scheme proposed, was issued to the 
members on April 28rd, 1880. Asa result of this action, about 
30 members joined each of the Sections. A number of excursions 
have been made yearly since that date, principally in connection 
with the “Art and Antiquities ’’ Section, but in many cases, the 
attendances have been unsatisfactory. It is highly desirable that 
the Geological and Botanical features of the district, as well as 
the places of Architectural and Archeological interest should be 
carefully studied, and by means of Sections their systematic 
investigation can be carried out. It is hoped, therefore, that the 
facilities which it is intended to offer during the ensuing summer, 
for the prosecution of work in the method indicated, will be 
more generally utilized, and the Committee’s endeavours more 
satisfactorily supported. The following is a list of the Sectional 
Excursions that have been made :—
