is very diflerent from that below. Carnmoney (766 feet) — the 

 Cairn of the Shrubbery — affords a good view of the valley 

 through which the Great Northern Railway runs, and the rich 

 slopes extending from the basaltic escarpment to the sea margin, 

 with its many villas, looked exceedingly well in the evening sun. 

 The cairn from which the hill takes its name, has, like the 

 shrubbery, long since disappeared, having, doubtless, been found 

 useful for fencing purposes. Descending the hill by the oppo- 

 site side from that by which the ascent was made, the road was 

 soon reached, and the party were kindly invited by the Rev. 

 George C. Smythe to visit his residence at Coole Glebe. After 

 partaking of the good things so liberally provided by their host, 

 the business meeting of the day was held in front of the house 

 — the vice-president. Canon Grainger, M.R.I. A., occupying the 

 chair. Following the election of new members — Messrs. Gray, 

 Harbison, Stewart, and the chairman made special reference to 

 the recent sad death of Mr. T. H. Corry, who was for many years 

 an active member of the Club. He attended the excursions, and 

 contributed papers on botanical subjects. Mr. Corry was one 

 of four members of the Club who separately received grants 

 from the Royal Irish Academy for investigating scientific sub- 

 jects, and it was while engaged in this work that he met his 

 death. The several speakers referred to the thoroughness and 

 practical ability of Mr. Corry as a working naturalist, his bril- 

 liant college career, and the well-founded hopes of his many 

 friends that he would take a foremost place among the leaders 

 of natural science. The following resolution was unanimously 

 adopted : — " The members of the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club 

 desire to record their sincere regret at the death of their fellow- 

 member, Mr. T. H. Corry, M.A., &c., who was so well known 

 as a young man of ability, culture, and zeal — qualities that won 

 for him many distinctions, and gave a promise of a brilliant 

 future. His fellow-members consider his death not only as a 

 severe loss to the Club and his native town, but a loss that will 

 be felt through much wider circles of the scientific world." A 

 resolution was also passed delegating the Rev. George Robinson
