REPORT OF BOTANICAL SECTION. 



The Committee of the Botanical Section are pleased to be in 

 a position to say that the section for the past twelve months 

 has been pursuing its work with undiminished success. During 

 the Summer Session the members continued the regular 

 Saturday afternoon excursions, which were so much appreciated 

 the previous two years, and during the season very considerably 

 enlarged their practical acquaintance with the British grasses 

 to be found in the Counties of Antrim and Down. These 

 excursions are educational in a very high degree, and afford to 

 the junior members of the section exceptional opportunities 

 of becoming acquainted with the flora of the neighbourhood.
