Field Meetings. 



notable object here is the hill of Craig-north, remarkable for its 

 steepness. It seemed almost perpendicular, yet sheep were seen 

 feeding upon its sides. 



In the course of the day a meeting of the Society was held, 

 at which Sir James Crichton Browne. Mr Brown of Sanquhar 

 (author of the History), Mr Scott of Kirkbank, and Dr Lorraine of 

 Dumfries, were proposed as members, and unanimously admitted. 

 After the return to Sanquhar, on the motion of Mr Neilson, 

 seconded by Mr M'Kettrick, a very hearty vote of thanks was 

 accorded to Mr Wilson and Mr Brown for their valuable services 

 as guides to the party, to which these gentlemen replied in 

 suitable terms.
