Note. — The authors of the various Papers, of which abstracts are here appended, are

HE Winter Session of the Club was inaugurated on 

 Tuesday evening. October 28, by a social meeting in 

 the Museum, College Square North, to which the 

 members and their friends were invited. Tea and 

 coffee were served, under the management of the lady members, 

 from seven o'clock till eight, after which the company assembled 

 in the lecture-room, where the chair was taken by the presi- 

 dent — W. H. Patterson, Esq., M.R.I. A. In opening the pro- 

 ceedings reference was made, in the first place, to the forth- 

 coming Flora of the North of Ireland, which the Club have 

 taken steps to publish in conjunction with Robert Corry, Esq., 

 father of the late Thomas H. Corry, F.L S., &c., &c. This 

 work was projected by him, in partnership with Mr. S. A. 

 Stewart, F.B.S.Edin., and was in part completed before Mr. 

 Corfy's lamented death by drowning in Lough Gill upon a 

 botanical excursion. It will now be brought out under the 

 editorship of Mr. Stewart, and it will be the most complete 

 work on our local botany which has yet appeared.
