new to the county. Four common species of Woodlice were seen, 

 and a few rarer forms were collected for further examination. 

 Among the finds of the conchologists were — Hyalinia excavata, var. 

 vitrina, Limaxflavus, and Helix aculeata. The botanists saw many 

 interesting plants, but had nothing new in the way of records 

 to add to the known flora of the area visited. The golden rod, 

 Solidago Virgaurea, and the wall pennywort, Cotyledon Umbilicus, 

 grew profusely on the rocks at the Dog Leap ; as did also a 

 variety of mosses and hawkweeds. In the Deer Park woods 

 the most notable species observed were Melampyrum pratense, 

 Viburnum Opulus, and Lastrea amula, all of which occurred 

 abundantly. Primus Padus and Salix pentandra were seen lower 

 down the valley.

 run reached Bundoran about 2 p.m., where luncheon was waiting 

 at the Club's headquarters — Hamilton's Hotel. After luncheon, 

 the party proceeded by the east strand to Aughrus Head, stopping 

 by the Rougie Rocks, where Mr. Wm. Gray, M.R.I.A., gave an 

 interesting address on the geology of the coast, here consisting 

 of rocks of Carboniferous age, which are highly fossiliferous, corals 

 and crinoids being very abundant. 



The walk, which was continued along the top of the cliffs to 

 the Fairy Bridges, was a most enjoyable one. The sea and wind 

 conditions allowed the Fairy Bridges — natural arches worn in the 

 limestone by the action of the sea — to be seen to the best 

 advantage; and it was reluctantly that the party proceeded on
