cjOO [Proc. B.N.F.C, 



One and a half hours were spent in Belturbet, some of the 

 members visiting the Parish Church, whilst others explored the 

 town or collected by the river's bank, and at five o'clock the 

 return drive was commenced, the morning's route being rejoined 

 at Drumalure. Twenty minutes were allowed to enable the 

 Botanists to search for treasures in the extensive bog of 

 Drumsillagh, through which the road here runs. The head- 

 quarters were reached one minute before scheduled time, and 

 after dinner the customary business meeting was held — the 

 President (Mr. R. J. Welch) in the chair. On the motion of Rev.

 conveyed to Miss Agnew, and an expression of hope that she 

 might soon again be able to take her wonted part in the. work of 

 the Club. Nine o'clock on Friday morning found all the members

 Farnham House, the avenue led through woods, which by the tall 

 straight growth of the tree trunks gave evidence of careful 

 supervision during growth. On reaching the southern end of 

 Farnham Lake all dismounted, and the Botanists set out to 

 explore the recesses of Derrygid Wood and the margins of the 

 several lakes situated in the demesne. The gardens claimed the 

 attention of some, and the many scenic vistas throughout the 

 demesne gave opportunities to painters and photographers to 

 secure mementoes of a pleasant day. All too soon the time for 

 departure arrived, and the members returned to the hotel to 

 partake of lunch. Then came the time for packing up, and at 

 4-55 our train steamed northwards amid farewell greetings from 

 our friends, who five minutes afterwards would be proceeding
