GLENARM. 



A party of twelve started by the 9-45 train on 24th May, 

 for Larne, where they mounted cars and proceeded along the 

 Coast Road as far as Ballygalley. The inland road was then 

 followed, and frequent stops made to visit places of interest. 

 Photographs and rubbings of some fine armorial grave-stones 

 were made. Rejoining the Coast Road again, the effects of 

 landslips were noted on the roadside and numerous Lias fossils

 village, inspecting the Church and the chalk quarries. 



A pleasant drive back to Larne completed the programme.
