526 [Proc. B.N.F.C., 



events of the day were discussed. Mr. Gray, who acted as 

 conductor for the day, in grateful and approving terms referred 

 to the kindness and willing co-operation rendered by the 

 respective authorities whose permission was required for the 

 purposes of the day's meeting. The hotel accommodation and 

 the means of transit were all that should satisfy the local 

 branch of the Tourists' Development Association. The 

 conductor, having tendered the Club's thanks to Mr. Fanning, 

 the Secretary of the Natural History Society, made some 

 suggestions as to the museum and the desirability of having a 

 typical collection of local fossil fish remains, and proposed the 

 following resolution, which was passed unanimously : — " That 

 this meeting having noticed the neglected condition of what now 

 remains of the ancient sculptural stone crosses of Armagh, it is 

 desirable that steps should be taken to have the crosses re- 

 erected and restored, and that the B.N.F.C. should initiate the 

 movement at an early date." Mr. Fanning suitably responded 

 to the expressions of thanks to the local authorities, and 

 promised, on behalf ot the Natural History Society, to give the 

 suggestions of the Club their very best attention.

 CARGAN AND DISTRICT. 



On Saturday, loth June, the members of the Club had their 

 second field meeting of the session at the hill-foot of Lurigethan, 

 County Antrim, a district of the greatest interest to naturalists, 

 historians, and artists. Leaving the railway carriage at Retreat, 

 the large party proceeded on foot up the slope and on to the 

 great ridge that separates the Valleys of Ballyemon and 

 Glenariff. A walk of about a mile on the ridge brought the 

 party to the ancient earthworks that constituted the important 

 hill-foot at the extreme end of the ridge, which rises abruptly 

 from the coast line, and appears from below a truncated cone,
