Librarian's Report. 



The usual exchanges have been made, and one or two new 

 added to the list. 



By order of the Committee the following were purchased : — 

 The Soil Geology of Ireland. 

 Two Volumes of Leaflets issued by the Board of 



Agriculture (London). 

 Twenty Volumes from the Library of the late S. A. Stewart. 

 Miskimmon's " History of Carrickfergus " has been received 

 from Mrs. E. J. M'Crum, who in this new edition has added 

 much fresh material, and Madame Christen has presented her 

 beautifully illustrated book " Rudolphe Christen." The thanks 

 of the Club have been conveyed to these two ladies for their 

 kindly and much appreciated gifts. 



We are also indebted to Mr. R. LI. Praeger for the 

 manuscript of the late S. A. Stewart's paper on " The Latest 

 Fluctuations of the Sea-level on our own Coasts." This has been 

 suitably bound. 



The Proceedings received in exchange from other Societies 

 have up till now, from want of room and other causes, been a 

 sealed book to the bulk of the members. Indeed, the great 

 majority of these Proceedings have never been cut. In order to 

 make them more readily available, the chief articles contained in 

 them have been indexed. This has taken much time and labour, 

 which will not have been in vain if members desiring to read up 

 any subject will consult the Librarian.

Sylvanus Weak, Librarian. 



Report of the Botanical Section. 



The work of the Botanical Section, during the year 1910-11, 

 was pursued in a very quiet way. No special excursions were held, 

 but the ordinary field meetings of the Club were largely availed of 

 by our members.
