 have resigned their membership, four have been struck off owing 

 to non-payment of subscription, and two have been transferred to 

 senior membership, giving a present total of twenty-one, a decrease 

 of five members. 



Four excursions were arranged for the Summer as follows : — 

 Cave Hill, for Plants ; Belvoir Park, for Pond Life ; Carnalea, for 

 Seaweeds ; and Black Mountain, to study the Ling and its asso-

 Section in the Queen's University Biological Laboratory, after the 

 visit to Belvoir Park.
