County Antrim is one of the main areas in Northern Ireland known for historical mining, where 780 shafts and adits are associated with iron ore exploration, and where historically, ca. 700,000 tonnes of bauxite were produced. In order to assess the legacy of mining operations, it is important to understand the present (baseline) chemistry of the natural environment. Heavy metals resulting from mining activities need to be distinguished from products of natural variation and geological processes. Using geographic information systems (GIS) and multi-element diagrams ("spidergrams") for analysis, the project modelled the geological background of the area, and was able to distinguish whether high metal concentrations in stream sediments were of mining

Northern Division covers the three Council areas shown on page 4 of this report. It is one of four Divisions, each of which manages the road network, commissions new works, and is the contact point for road users and public representatives. This report deals with works completed in the Mid & East Antrim Borough Council area during the year 2015/2016 and sets out our initial proposals for schemes to be undertaken in the year 2016/2017. The operation of a preparation pool of major schemes, without a funding commitment, is allowing the Division to take some important major schemes on the strategic route network through the statutory processes and to be in a good position to proceed when funding is confirmed.

This volume has been prepared in accordance vvith the provisions of Section 6 (1) of the Census Act (Northern Ireland), 1936, from the census returns made as at JJ?-idnight of the 28th February-1st March, 1937. The statistics contained herein supersede those contained in the Preliminary Report published in July, 1937, and may be regarded as final. The census which was taken in 1937 was a special one in the sense that it was limited .in .scope and was taken during the interval between normal census years, thus bndg1ng the gap between the 1926 census and the next full census. Certain ques~ions usually found on census schedules, such as those regarding occupation and Industry, were not asked, but a ne\v question as to usual residence \Vas in­ cluded for the first time. The 1937 census publications \Vill consist of :- 1. SEVEN CouNTY VoLUMES, each similar in design and scope. The smallest area for which statistics are given in the county volumes is the district electoral division, but statistics in respect of townlands, similar to those given in table 4, have been prepared in the Census Office and are available for reference upon application to the Registrar General.
