Report of Geological Section: — 



The Geological Section wish tO' report another year of 

 steady work ; the interest of the members previously recorded 

 in past years being well maintained, and we are pleased to 

 note our membership is increasing. 



During the year several excursions were held, and although 

 the attendance might have been larger, the enthusiasm of those 

 present made the meetings instructive and successful in their 

 object. The localities visited were: — Cavehill and Carr's 

 Glen, Dundonald, Tardree, Colin Glen, Kilcorrig, and Cultra. 



Several very instructive lectures were given during the 

 winter at the Wednesday evening meetings. Mr. J. Strachan 

 contributed a paper on "Origin of Carnmoney Chalcedony," 

 which was well illustrated by specimens and diagrams. Mr. 

 G. C. Gough, F.G.S., gave a very able paper on "The Age of 

 the Earth," and Mr. J. C. Tomlinson discussed a very interest- 

 ing subject in "The Evolution of the Mourne Mountains," 

 the attendance at these meetings being large, and including 

 many of the Club's members, in addition to those belonging to 

 the Section. 



We have great pleasure in announcing that the paper read 

 by Madame Christen, "A Resume of the Club's work on Glacial 

 Geology," and Mr. J. Strachan's paper, "Origin of Carnmoney 

 Chalcedony," are to be published as appendices to this year's 

 Club's report.

 Geology, which is so valuable, it has been decided to revive 

 this interesting subject, and, if possible, make further additions 

 to it.

 Literary and Philosophical Society arrived in Lame to make a
