The second excursion was to Donaghadee, where a small 

 party, under the conductorship of Dr. Charlesworth, were successful 

 in finding specimens of the fossil Graptolites Monograptus, Diplo- 

 graptus and Rastrites. During the Winter Session Dr. Charles- 

 worth was kind enough to give two lectures on the geology of the 

 North-East of Ireland, which were well attended and much 

 appreciated.

Report of the Zoological Section. 



No special excursions or meetings of the Section were held 

 during the past season, but ample opportunities for study were 

 afforded members interested in the special work of the Section on 

 the various Summer excursions of the Club. 



Several members individually have done good work during 

 the year, and the Irish Naturalist contains the following Papers 

 contributed by the members on Zoological subjects, viz. : — 

 " Natural History Notes from Carlingford," " Distribution of the 

 Symphyla in Ireland as at present known," and "Tree-Sparrow 

 Nesting in Co. Antrim," by Mr. N. H. Foster; " Ichneumonidai 

 and Braconidse from Counties Armagh and Donegal," by Rev. 

 W. F. Johnson ; and " A List of the Land and Freshwater 

 Mollusks of the Dingle Promontory," by Mr. A. W. Stelfox. The 

 last named member has also added the Mollusk Otina otis to the 

 fauna of Co. Down and the False Scorpion Obisium maritimum to 

 the fauna of Ulster. Mr. J. A. S. Stendall has been doing good 

 work in Spiders and Harvestmen, and has added some species to 

 the known fauna of Ulster.
