archseological specimens, consisting of bronze spear-heads, flint arrow- 

 Beads in great variety, flint spear heads of superior workmanship, jet and 

 bronze ornaments, and a great variety of glass and amber beads, found in 

 the vicinity of Dromore. Professor Wyville Thomson, LL.D., kindly 

 furnished some specimens of the glass sponges, regarding which he read a 

 paper during the session. Mr. Murphy supplied some large photographs 

 of architectural and other scenery, and Mr. Young exhibited some beauti- 

 ful water-colour drawings. The members of the club brought their 

 microscopes, and displayed some interesting specimens of animate and 

 inanimate life. This department showed one of the advantages of the 

 club, as persons who would never have thought of the instruments have, 

 by their connexion with the club, been induced to purchase microscopes. 

 Messrs. Ward, Magill, and Mayne contributed stereoscopes and appropriate 

 views of British and continental scenery for the occasion, and Mr. Mayne, 

 in addition, lent a large album with photographic views of Belfast, and 

 interesting scenes in the North of Ireland. Mr. Walker, of Bridge Street, 

 supplied the refreshments on the occasion.
