138 [I'roc. B.N.F.C, 



on 2nd Febi'uary, 1904, to which all your members were 

 invited. 



Your Club was represented at the meeting of the Irish 

 Field Club Union Committee, held in Dublin on 3rd 

 November, at which it was decided to hold the Triennial 

 Conference at Sligo in July, 1904. Timely intimation and full 

 particulars of this will be furnished to all the members. 



Your Committee appointed Messrs. W. J. Fennell and H. 

 L. Orr as their representatives on the Council of the Ulster 

 Fisheries and Biology Association for 1904. 



A number of your members decided on giving Mr. Wm. 

 Gray an address and presentation on his retirement from 

 your Committee. The occasion of Mr. W. H. Phillips' golden 

 wedding was taken advantage of by your Committee to present 

 him with an address. Mr. S. A. Stewart having been elected 

 an Associate of the Linnean Society of London, your members 

 have been asked to subscribe for the purpose of giving him an 

 address and presentation. 



The Treasurer's Report will be presented, showing a balance 

 in hand of £42. Os. 6d., but it must be borne in mind that a 

 large amount of this balance will be absorbed by the printing of 

 Reports and Proceedings for the past three years. Mr. George 

 Donaldson will present his Report as Librarian. The Reports 

 of the Botanical and Geological Sections, and the Report of 

 the Sub-Committee which adjudicated on Prize Competitions 

 will be submitted. 



In conclusion your Committee would again return thanks 

 to the public bodies and kindred societies who have favoured 

 them with their publications during the past year, as well as 

 to the local press for the full reports given of each meeting.
