in all about 80, which I have acknowledged m the usual way. 

 Last September, when we got possession of the room for 

 our Library, I " commandeered " the services of a few of the 

 young and active members of the Club, namely : — Messrs. 

 James Orr, J. L. S. Jackson, and J. Strachan, and set them to 

 work to get all our Books, etc., gathered together into the new 

 room. They worked for one or two nights every week until 

 about Christmas, by which time (with the little help I was 

 able to give myself), we were able to get the shelves well filled 

 with the most important Books. We then commenced to 

 write a Catalogue, which the members will find on the table, 

 so that any member can now see at a glance what Books we 

 have. We have also provided another book to be used by 

 the members when borrowing, in which to enter their own 

 name and the name and number of the book borrowed, and 

 when they return the same they are to mark the fact and the 

 return date, and I hope the members will be careful to do this 

 and so prevent any confusion that might otherwise arise.

Report of the Committee of the Botanical Section : — 



The Committee beg to report that since last Annual Meet- 

 ing the work of the Botanical Section has been going on 

 satisfactorily. The weather during the summer of 1903 was 

 exceptionally unfavourable for outdoor work, nevertheless 

 most of the stations of our rarer plants were visited so that a 

 knowledge of the Botany of the district might be maintained, 

 and made generally known to members. Amongst the finds 

 and interesting re-discoveries with which the members of 

 the Section are to be credited, the most interesting are two, 

 namely: the finding of Cardamine ainara near a stream 

 beside Derriaghy Church, Co. Antrim, by Messrs. Richard 

 Hanna and N. Carrothers. This is a new station for thif 

 interesting plant, which is only recorded from two other 

 stations in Co. Antrim. A most interesting and very rare 

 plant, Adoxa Moschatellina, was re-found by Mr. Wm. Porter
