 into iron ore, to stimulate man's industrial enterprises of to-day. 

 Mr. Gray described the ryolite intrusion of Tardree, the porphyry 

 and old red conglomerate of Cushendun, and the primary lime-

 possible sources from which the materials were obtained for the 

 building up of the succession of sedimentary formations.

 including Messrs. W. J. C. Tomlinson, Balfour-Browne, G. 

 Donaldson, R. Bell, and S. Wear.
