The botanists of the party handed in lists which included 

 Geranium pyrenaicum, G. luadum, Lamium album, Saxifraga

 officinalis, Carex riparia, Chelidonium ma/us, and Chenopodium 

 Bonus-Henricus.

Prizes were offered by the President, Mr. N. H. Foster, 

 M.B.O.U., and the Vice-President, Mr. W. H. Gallway, for the

 species, and the Vice-President's by Mr. Frank Holland.

 Lurgan, where brakes and cars were in waiting. All were soon 

 driving to the pleasant level lands that lie to the south-east of 

 Lough Neagh. 



Shortly after three o'clock the party arrived at the shores of 

 Derryadd Bay, and, leaving the vehicles, proceeded on foot along 

 the shores of Lough Neagh. Here the party scattered, and
