hO'Spitality accorded to the members during the Excursion to 

 Donegal, their kindness being very highly appreciated. Our 

 thanks are also due toi our esteemed friends, W. J. Fennell, 

 Esq., M.R.I.A., and Mrs. Fennell, for supplying a sumptuous 

 tea to the Geological Section on the occasion of their visit to 

 Dunmurry on 26th May last. 



The Winter Session was opened as usual with a 

 Conversazione, which was held this year in the Large Hall of 

 the Y.M.C.A., Wellington Place, on October 25th, and which

Besides the ordinary monthly meetings, the informal 

 fortnightly meetings, held on Wednesday evenings, were con- 

 tinued, the attendance at these meetings not being so^ good as 

 your Committee have a right tO' expect, and we appeal to 

 members for better support in this direction.
