ing through country lanes, we reached the Chapel of Monea, 

 a delightful specimen of a mountain church, harmonising 

 with its peaceful surroundings. To many its chief interest 

 may be the old window removed from Devenish, but he would 

 be a confirmed antiquary who could not see beauty also m 

 the partly modern church of Monea. 



Taking lanes and byroads, we walked along by the foot 

 of the Knockmore escarpment till a stifiE climb up a mountain 

 road gave us another panoramic view of great beauty. The 

 shaft of a sculptured stone cross in the Boho Churchyard was 

 inspected. The road now became very hilly, and proved 

 rough walking, but the scenery was well worth the labour. 

 The tall fir trees in front of Cam House and the roadside 

 trees and flowers provided pictures for photographers, while 

 a lively description by Mr. Plunkett of old battles fought on

 past an old fort to a most romantic glen. The cave in the 

 limestone tempted many to explore its mysteries, to hunt for 

 bats, or to wander far into the dark underground passages. Mr. 

 Plunkett had thoughtfully provided afternoon tea on the lawn

 the evening to Enniskillen. After dinner Miss M'Kenna 

 delighted the company with a brilliant performance on the 

 harp. 



The fourth day found the members astir at an early hour, 

 and at 8-30 the whistle signalled the start of the cars. Our 

 destination was the Marble Arch. The road from Enniskillen 

 combines scenery of varied types. At first the soft, rolling 

 hills, clothed in places with broad pasture lands, backed by 

 woods; next a wide expanse of bog, with turf-cutters busy 

 laying in their stock of fuel for the winter. Then we have 

 the mountain scenery — tall cliffs, with well-wooded talus slopes. 

 Through the trees growing by the roadside we get vistas of 

 precipitous walls of rock deeply scarred by the hand of time,
