accounts, which, in the unavoidable absence of the Treasurer, 

 was read by Mr. R. Lloyd Praeger, M.R.I. A., Junior Secretary, 

 and showed that the Club was in a sound financial condition. 



On the motion of Mr. Joseph Wright, F.G.S., seconded by 

 Mr. Alexander Tate, C.E., the report and statement of accounts 

 were adopted. 



The report of the Photographic Committee was next sub- 

 mitted, which ran as follows : — The Photographic Committee 

 beg to report that they have met six times since last annual 

 meeting, at which they were appointed. Early in the year 

 they issued a special circular calling the attention of members 

 to the formation of this section, and requesting their co-opera- 

 tion. Since then the Committee have been engaged in collecting 

 lists of all photographic negatives of antiquities, &c, at present 

 in the possession of members, and it is hoped that members will 

 favour the Committee with permanent prints of all such 

 negatives as are considered suitable for the new albums which 

 the Committee purpose providing. In these, the photographs 

 will be systematically arranged according to class, and they will, 

 it is hoped, in time become a sort of illustrative catalogue of 

 the antiquities, &c, of at least the North of Ireland. Any 

 members possessing negatives, who have not yet sent in a list 

 of such to the Committee, are requested to do so without delay. 

 The Committee trust that during the coming summer members 

 will lose no opportunity of securing photographs of all ancient 

 monuments, rock sections, &c, which they may have an oppor- 

 tunity of visiting, and of furnishing to the Committee a 

 permanent print (platinotype if possible) of all such negatives 

 obtained. Each photograph should be accompanied by a filled 

 schedule of particulars. Printed schedules specially prepared 

 for this purpose may be obtained from the Secretaries on 

 application. 



On the motion of Mr. John Hamilton, seconded by Mr. 

 Robert Patterson, the report was received. 



The election of office-bearers for the coming year was then 

 proceeded with.
