Abstract
Annual Report and Proceedings of the Belfast Naturalists' Field Club, 1873, 74—This Report was written before the meeting of the British Association in Belfast last year, so that its issue must have been very much delayed. The Society, according to the Report, as to financial condition and number of members, is in a thoroughly satisfactory condition. The Society, as a Field Club, makes excursions during summer; an account of those for 1873 is contained in this part of the Proceedings. The papers read during the winter session are all interesting; we have space only for the titles:—“On the British Association, its aims and objects,” by Mr. W. Gray; “On Progressive Development,” by Mr. G. Langtry; “On the Surnames of the Inhabitants of the County Antrim, and their indications,” by the Rev. E. M'Clure; “On Flints, and the Foraminifera, Entomostraca, &c., contained in them,” by Mr. Joseph Wright, F.G.S.; “Irish Cranoges and their contents,” by Mr. F. Wakeman; “Notes on the Aurora Borealis, taken in Belfast in the years 1870, 71, with suggestions as to its source and that of the earth's magnetism and magnetic currents,” by Dr. T. H. Keown, R.N. The Appendix contains two valuable lists; first, of the Mosses of the North-east of Ireland, by Mr. S. A. Stewart; and second, of the Cretaceous Microzoa of the North of Ireland, by Mr. Joseph Wright, F.G.S., the latter illustrated by a large number of figures.
