their way to the Tullan Strand which stretches northwards to the 

 mouth of the River Erne. The archaeologists of the party spent 

 a busy afternoon exploring the Finner sand-dunes which back the 

 strand, and their search was rewarded by the discovery of a very 

 finely-worked flint arrowhead and a number of flint scrapers. At 

 6-30 the return journey was made to headquarters in time for 

 dinner at 7-30. 



On Sunday, no excursions appeared on the official programme, 

 and each member was free to follow his or her own bent. Many 

 went to various places of worship ; while others were content to

On Monday morning, immediately after breakfast, the party 

 were photographed by Mr. R. Welch, and then mounted cars, 

 which were in readiness to drive to Mullaghmore. The road 

 taken ran along the southern shore of Donegal Bay to Bundrowes 

 Bridge, where the visitors were much interested in the Salmon

 short distance from the road, and behind the cross, were seen the 

 ruins of Duncarby Castle, of which only a few vestiges remain. 

 The road now ran through some fine woods, luxuriantly carpeted 

 with fern, until the main Sligo road was left, when trees became 

 scarce and stunted, and grey stone walls formed a prominent 

 feature of the landscape. Bunduff Lake was next reached, and a 

 short stop was made on its banks to enable the zoologists and 

 botanists of the party to do some collecting. After leaving 

 Bunduff Lake, the road led over the tract of ground reclaimed 

 from the sea by the late Lord Palmerston, who frequently resided 

 at Classie Bawn Castle, situated on the neighbouring height of 

 Mullaghmore. On reaching Mullaghmore, the cars were left, and
