NOTES ADDED IX PRESS. 



A. 



Professor G. A. J. Cole has kindly made an examination of a specimen 

 of basalt east of Keady Hill, showing the peculiar banded structure noted on 

 p. 636 above, and sends me the following note thereupon : — " It is ophitic, 

 with crystalline nodules of augite arranged in. flow-bands." 



13. 



Referring to the basaltic Boulder-Clay in Ardinarrive stream, mentioned 

 in the Paper (p. 649), it can now be added, as a result of this Summer's work, 

 that, higher up the same stream, a thick deposit of sand and gravel, derived 

 almost wholly from basalt, forms the west bank ; and is, in parts, overlain by 

 Boulder-Clay belonging to the third stage of glaciation. The gravel contains 

 shell-fragments, which more than probably had been washed out of the red 

 Boulder-Clay of the second stage, present in the vicinity ; the washing 

 obviously supervened between the second and third stages, and carried off the 

 finer materials of the older Boulder-Clays at the point in question. This point 

 is nearly 500 feet above datum. 



C. 



As a further result of this Summer's work it may be stated that the red 

 shell-bearing Boulder-Clay was traced upward to the 500 feet contour, in 

 the stream bounding the townland of Drumreighland, north-westward of 

 Ardinarrive. 



REPORT OF DELEGATE TO THE BRITISH 

 ASSOCIATION. 



I had the honour to represent the Club at the Conference of 

 Delegates of the Corresponding Societies of the British Association 

 held last year in Dundee. Two meetings, as usual, were held, at 

 the first of which the Chairman, Professor Bower, gave as his 

 address a sketch of the life of the late Dr. Hooker. 



Two years ago I brought to your notice (and you brought the 

 matter before the Committee of the Delegates) the fact that these 

 meetings of the Delegates received scant attention from the British 

 Association, and were not fully advertised in the Journals of the 

 meetings of the Sections. Last year I was able to report some 

 improvement in this matter, and I mentioned then that a further 

 improvement had been promised. This year a slight improvement
