[Proc. B.N.F.C., 



was hanged in 1798 in view of his own Manse. Mr. A. R. Hogg 

 having taken several photographs, a slight shower drove the 

 members in to tea. The rain was of short duration, and tea was 

 partaken of in the open-air at " The Nunnery " on the hill close 

 by. Here an extensive view delighted the eyes of all present, and 

 rarely has the Club had tea in such an attractive spot. 



Immediately after tea the usual short business meeting was 

 held, the President (Robert Patterson, F.L.S., M.R.I.A.) in the 

 chair. Mr. Patterson called upon R. Welch, M.R.I.A., to move 

 the following resolution : — " That the members of the Belfast 

 Naturalists' Field Club desire to place on record their regret that, 

 owing to advancing years, Mr. S. A. Stewart has felt obliged to 

 resign his position as curator of the Belfast Museum — an 

 institution with which he has been intimately connected for 

 twenty-seven years. They gratefully remember Mr. Stewart's many 

 and valuable contributions to local scientific research, and they 

 unite in wishing him many happy days of leisure." The resolution 

 having been seconded by George Donaldson, was put to the 

 meeting, and carried unanimously. There being no new members 

 to be elected, this concluded the formal meeting. The brakes 

 were mounted again, and punctually at 6-30 the return drive 

 began. Newtownards was reached without further incident, in 

 nice time to catch the 7-50 train to Belfast. Here the members 

 separated, well pleased with the enjoyable and instructive 

 afternoon they had spent.

 the conductor, Mr. W. J. Fennell, M.R.I.A., at the York Road 

 terminus of the Midland Railway, and travelled by the 9.15 train
