met by the courteous and hospitable landlord, who had dinner 

 ready to serve, and soon the party were doing justice to a 

 well-served and well-earned repast. At 6-20 the excursionists 

 entered their specially-reserved carriages on the Great Northern 

 line, and a quick run brought all safely home by nine o'clock, 

 and thus terminated a most enjoyable and instructive trip. In 

 conclusion, we might observe that many of the archaeologists 

 seemed to be equally at home in geology, botany, and other 

 subjects fostered by the Field Club, and in each branch a keen 

 look out was kept, with results that will be forthcoming later 

 on. It will thus be seen that the day's primary object in no 

 way overshadowed other studies. 



CARLINGFORD. 



A promising Field Meeting was arranged to be held at 

 Carlingford on the 24th and 25th June with the intention of 

 exploring the surrounding district which is of special interest to 

 the Naturalist, Geologist, and Antiquarian. Unfortunately the 

 morning of the 24th and several days previous were so dread- 

 fully wet, only a few members turned out, half the number 

 being ladies. 



The first day was spent at Rostrevor, from which the party 

 visited Clochmore and the surrounding hills, and in the evening 

 had a Bat-hunting expedition by the river side in the valley. 



The next day the party crossed the harbour and took rail to 

 Carlingford, where the mountain, quarries, ancient Castles, and 

 many other places of historic interest were explored. 



The result of the expedition under such unfavourable con- 

 ditions encouraged the hope that the conductor's arrangements 

 and expectations may be more successfully realized or a future 

 occasion.
