1 8 Professor Byers on Ulster Sayings and Folk-Lore. 



attention for the past thirty or forty years. The lecture Professor 

 Byers had given that night, added to what he had said before on 

 that subject, would make a very interesting treatise, and he hoped 

 such a book would be produced by the lecturer soon. Perhaps 

 the best work done in the way of collecting a vocabulary of Ulster 

 words and phrases had been done by a gentleman whom he saw 

 present that night — he referred to Mr. W. H. Patterson — in the 

 treatise he had produced for the English Dialect Society. 



The resolution was passed by acclamation, and was appropriately 

 conveyed by the Chairman. 



Professor Byers, in responding, said he might perhaps on some 

 future occasion take up the subject of "The Ulster Child: His 

 Games and Amusements/' which, he thought, would be an in- 

 teresting topic to the members of the Society.
