was examined. Amongst the mineral constituents pointed out 

 were analcite, natrolite, and chabazite, with crystals of calcite in 

 cavities or pockets in the rock. 



The party then proceeded to Lisburn, where, through the 

 kindness of the Committee of the Ulster Provincial School, they 

 were entertained to tea. A brief business meeting was held in the 

 school, Mr. Nevin H. Foster being in the chair, in the absence of 

 the President and Vice-President. Cordial votes of thanks to the 

 Committee of the School, to Mr. and Mrs. Ridges, and to the 

 scholars who so kindly assisted at the tea tables, were accorded 

 on the motion of Mr. W. J. C. Tomlinson, seconded by Mr. S. A. 

 Bennett. The election of Mrs. Neill, Miss E. W. M'Kay, Messrs. 

 John Ridges, M.A. ; H. S. Staley, M.A. ; Henry Jenkinson, and 

 Charles Corrigan to membership concluded the proceedings.

 Lias clay slipping over the road, now hardened by the recent dry 

 weather, but bearing clear evidence of having been a regular semi- 

 liquid river of mud in April or May. Climbing up over this the 

 general character of the great undercliff at this place could be seen, 

 the chalk and basalt slipping and breaking up over the underlying 

 unctuous Lias beds. As the party climbed higher they could see 

 that the area between the inland cliffs of basalt and the sea is a 

 mass of great landslips, forming high up near the cliffs long and 

 deep narrow .valleys entirely hidden from the coast road. Indeed, 

 the slipped cliff masses when looked at from below seem 

 part of the great cliff wall itself. A closer inspection, however,
