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



These new books and Proceedings form a very welcome 

 addition to our Library, and will be greatly appreciated by the 

 members. 



It is gratifying to find that Members of the Club shew their 

 interest in the Library by a regular demand for books, the demand 

 being greater than in the previous year. Also we notice that the 

 Members are more punctual in returning books, and this, in a 

 large measure, helps to make the working of the Library a 

 success.

Report of Committee of Geological Section. 



The Committee of the Geological Section beg to submit the 

 following report of the year's work. 



The work of the Section has been satisfactorily carried out, 

 and the interest formerly taken in it still remains vigorous, also we 

 are pleased to record the addition of several new members. 



The following Excursions were successfully carried out during 

 the year : — Coalpit Bay, Glassdrummond, Ballypallidy, and White- 

 head. The attendance of Members at these excursions was fairly 

 good, and the discussions which arose out of the geological features 

 presented at these localities showed a great deal of enthusiasm, 

 which helps to make the working of the Section successful. 

 Owing to the severity of the weather, an excursion to Scawt Hill, 

 although carried out, resulted in no practical work being done. 



During the winter the following papers were read : — "A Chat 

 on Crystal Forms," by Mr. T. Dewhurst ; " The Derbyshire 

 Toadstones," by Miss M. K. Andrews ; " The Mineral Beekite," 

 by Mr. Robt. Bell ; and " The Origin and Formation of Zeolites 

 in Basalt," by Mr. J. Strachan. These papers were illustrated by 

 diagrams, specimens, and microscopic slides, which were greatly 

 appreciated and led to some very interesting talks.
