kistvaen and stone circle was the last item in a busy afternoon, 

 these remains being in the townland of Ballymarlow. The latter 

 monument is in a wonderful state of preservation. Ballymena was 

 reached in good time, and an excellent tea was served in Whiteside's 

 hotel, at which a short business meeting was held, under the 

 presidency of Mr. W. J. C. Tomlinson, when a vote of thanks w r as 

 passed to Mr. Black for his kindness at Liminary, and to Mr. 

 Joseph Skillen, a local member, for acting as guide to the party

 Secretary having made some announcements, the party proceeded

 the guidance of Mr. Tomlinson and Mr. Bell.

 bourhood of Belfast of dry gullies excavated out of the solid rock, 

 and mostly associated with deposits of Glacial detritis and esker- 

 like accumulations of sand and gravel, has oftentimes been 

 observed by local Geologists. These characteristic features are 

 now spoken of as "dry gaps" and "overflow channels." They 

 are such as could only, it is believed, have originated during
