the large chalk quarry on the Larne Road, and several good 

 fossils were picked up. 



The large landslips between Glenarm and Carnlough were 

 observed with interest, and, had time permitted, no doubt 

 many fossils could have been obtained from the lias clays 

 exposed there. The next halt was on the north side of Carn- 

 loughj where a small stream was examined and some specimens 

 of the fresh-water limpet obtained. The best find of the day 

 was Helix intersecta, being new to East Antrim. By this 

 time the rain had cleared off, and the waterproofs were not 

 needed again. At Garron Point the party stopped again, 

 and, sending the luggage up to the hotel, spent some time 

 examining the cliffs and rocks. Photographs were taken of 

 the most interesting objects, and gradually the ascent to 

 Garron Tower was made by the back avenue, from which 

 unfrequented road many magnificent landscapes are to be 

 observed. 



On Friday, the 12th, although breakfast was at eight 

 o'clock, the photographic section had secured several pictures 

 before the gong sounded. After breakfast the party divided, 

 the main body continuing the geological investigations of the 

 previous day, examining the old fort and the natural history 

 of the undercliff. After lunch this section continued the 

 drive round the coast road, stopping frequently by the way, 

 and drove slowly up the beautiful Vale of Glenariff. In the 

 meantime the walking party, leaving Garron Tower at nine 

 o'clock, ascended the steep cliffs at the back, and began the 

 examination of the botany and zoology of the moorland and 

 bogs comprising the plateau. Several small lakes were 

 visited and collections made in various branches of natural 

 science. Everything being of value from these high grounds, 

 a most miscellaneous collection was made — plants, flowers, 

 grasses, beetles, spiders, shells, moths, butterflies — nothing 

 seemed to come amiss to the enthusiastic naturalists. The 

 most important discovery of the day was a colony of Herring 

 Gulls (Larus argentatus) breeding beside one of the lakes, 

 being the first inland breeding-place known in Ireland,
