* According to arrangement, the Conversazione was held on the 2nd 

 May. The Committee issued a large number of invitations, and about 

 one hundred and sixty members and friends assembled on the occasion. 



These interesting re-unions are set on foot by the members for the pur- 

 pose of giving the public an opportunity of witnessing the result of the 

 operations of the club during the year, and the articles exhibited — the 

 majority of which belong to the members of the club — have particular 

 reference to the papers read during the session. Last year, besides the 

 papers read in the winter season, the members had six field excursions to 

 places of interest in the neighbourhood of Belfast and throughout the 

 country, as will be seen by the Keport, and the specimens exhibited were 

 collected at the excursions, which made the exhibition more interesting
