 {Argyroneta aquatica) in Haddingtonshire, by Archibald Gray. 



Geological.— On the finding of Shells in the Boulder-clay 



near Berwick-on-Tweed, by William Gunn. Mr. Hardy contributes 

 notes on the plants and birds of Henderland, and of St. Mary's Loch, in a 



paper entitled The tomb of Cockburn of Henderland and its 



^Vicinity ; and in a paper of Miscellanea he mentions Motella tricirrhata 

 from the Berwickshire coast, Coccus Fagi in Rovensworth Woods, Attaints 

 laevis at Gibside, Boreus hyemalis in Berwickshire, Linnaa borealis near Long- 

 formacus (with a comparison of the plants with others from Mellerstane, 

 Strath- Spey, and Canada), Trimtalis Europaea as a Lammermoor plant, 

 Splachnum sphcerkum on Greenlaw Moor, and Andrecea ruptstris^ on Lammer- 

 moor hills. 



Want of space forbids a notice of the antiquarian papers ; but they also 

 •deserve perusal. We are glad to see that Mr, Hardy is, as ever, well to the 

 front among their authors.
