REPORT. 



The Committee of the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club now lay 

 before the Members the Thirty-sixth Annual Report. 



During the past Session the work of the Club has been 

 carried on as usual. A new feature of interest was added to 

 the Excursions in the appointment of a Field Lecturer, who 

 on suitable occasions delivered a short address on the objects of 

 Archaeological and Natural History interest met with on each 

 Excursion. These addresses were much appreciated for the 

 information conveyed in them, and we hope that in future 

 Excursions we may have a greater attendance of specialists 

 who would impart their information for the benefit of 

 beginners and new members. 



During the past Summer the following Excursions were 

 made : — 



Antrim to Lame .. .. .. 28 May. 



Mellifont . . . . . . n June. 



Carlingford ,. .. .. 24, 25 June. 



Kenmare (Field Club Union) .. 7 to 13th July. 



Barney's Point .. .. .. 30 July. 



St. John's Point .. .. .. 20 August. 



Hollymount .. .. .. 10 September. 



All were well attended with the exception of that to Carling- 

 ford — which may be, perhaps, accounted for by the fact of its 

 immediately preceeding the Excursion to Kenmare, held in 

 conjunction with the Irish Field Club Union, which forty-two 

 of our members attended. 



The winter meetings were as follows : — 



2 Nov., Conversazione. 



15 ., Plant Societies and Distribution of Plants in N.E. Ireland. 

 The President'! Address.
