GLYNN. 



On the afternoon of Saturday, 1 June, a party of about forty 

 left by the midday train for Glynn. On arrival there the Old 

 Church, unique in the diocese of Connor, with its chancel and 

 nave and small circular connecting arch was examined, after 

 which the party divided into sections taking different routes to 

 Gleno, plant collecting being the special feature of the day, a prize 

 having been offered for the best collection. The botanists were 

 favoured with the presence of Professor Johnson, of the Royal 

 College of Science, who rendered much assistance throughout 

 the day. After tea in the schoolroom at Glynn a hurried 

 examination of the different plant collections was made and the 

 prize awarded to Richard Hanna for a set of flowering plants 

 numbering almost 100 species. J. St. J. Phillips found near 

 Gleno a bed of boulder clay containing Lower Lias fossils.

The third excursion of the club was held on Saturday, 15 

 June, when a party of twenty-five proceeded by the Northern 

 Counties Railway to Limavady and the valley of the Roe, a 

 through carriage having been kindly placed at the disposal of 

 the members by the manager. On arrival at Limavady a start 

 was made for the glen, a distance of two miles. The first halt 

 was made at O'Cahan's Rock, where the party spent a pleasant 

 hour botanising, lunching, and photographing, the splendid 

 crag forming a feature hard to surpass. 



Mrs. Leebody, the well known Derry botanist, joined here, 

 and her local knowledge proved useful throughout the day. A 

 steep climb from the river bed brought all to the top of the
