the '' Ulster Journal of Archaeology," &c. He wished the new 

 feature every success, and hoped it would become permanent, 

 so that no member would have any excuse for not possessing 

 a full set of the Club's literature. The President then called 

 on Professor Symington, M.D., who stated that he had in- 

 serted a new instruction in the calendar of Queen's College to 

 the effect that members of the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club 

 would be admitted to the Natural History Museum of the 

 Queen's College on presentation of their card. The College 

 was most anxious to co-operate with a scientific Club such as 

 he was addressing, and all members were welcome to make 

 all the use they could of the College. This announcement was 

 received with much applause. The election of twelve new 

 members brought the formal business to a close, and the 

 lantern display was then proceeded with, the lantern being in 

 charge of Mr, A. R. Hogg. The first set of slides shown 

 dealt with microscopic objects, some of which were extremely 

 beautiful. The summer excursions were then shown, those 

 taken at the Enniskillen excursion being very good. Other 

 subjects dealt with were geological formations, Ballinderry 

 Middle Church and New Zealand scenery, the exhibitors being 

 —Messrs. William Gray, R. Welch, J. St. J. Phillips, W. J. 

 Fennell, and George E. Reilly. Afterwards Mr. A. R. Hogg 

 showed a splendid series of animated photographs of animal 

 life, Polar Bears being fed at the Zoo, seals deftly catching 

 fish thrown by the keeper, &c. 



These were much admired, and Mr. Hogg's enterprise 

 fully appreciated. It was quite a late hour before the mem- 

 bers separated, and a most successful meeting came to an end.
