lineata. Vallonia pulchella, which was found near the aqueduct, 

 proved new to County Tyrone, as well as Vertigo pygmcea. The 

 former is mainly a maritime species in Ireland except in the central 

 limestone plain. Sphceriwn lacustre was found to be quite common 

 in the canal and overflow below Coalisland, where many other 

 more common species occurred. In Woodlice the four common 

 species, Trichoniscus pusillus, Philoscia muscorum, Oniscus asellus 

 and Porcellio scaber, proved abundant, while a couple of specimens 

 of the rarer Porcellio picius were obtained. Some eight species of 

 Myriapods were collected, among these being Lithobius lapidicola, 

 a Centipede previously only recorded in Ireland from Co. Wicklow. 



Punctually at two o'clock from the aqueduct was heard the 

 conductor's whistle announcing the hour for departure, and the 

 party proceeded by the road on the western side of the river, 

 through Farlough, and past Beechgrove and Derryvale till the 

 morning's route was rejoined at Torrent Cottage. By three o'clock 

 all were assembled in the Charlemont Arms Hotel, where tea was 

 provided, the proprietress, Mrs. Byrne, being most assiduous in 

 seeing after the comforts of all. After their long day in the open 

 the delicious tea proved most welcome to the party, and before rising 

 from the table the usual business meeting was held — Mr. Nevin H. 

 Foster, in the absence of the President and Vice-President, occuping 

 the chair. Miss L. C. Rea and Mr. A. M. Harper and one junior 

 member were elected. 



The party left Coalisland by the 4-27 train, arriving in Belfast 

 at 6 o'clock after spending a pleasant and profitable day, and with 

 the Club's customary luck having been favoured with perfect 

 weather conditions. 



ARDGLASS. 



The third Summer excursion was held on 17th June, when 

 about eighty members and friends travelled by the 1-50 train to 

 Ardglass. On arrival, the party, conducted by Mr. Robert May, 

 proceeded to the ruins of the ancient Church of St. Nicholas,
