Transactions. 3 



has the best wishes of our Society for its success and jirosperity. 

 Further donations to our herbarium liave been made by the Rev. 

 George Wilson of Glenluco, Miss Thomson of Settle, and Mr Tom 

 Brown of Hatfield. Four field meetings were held during the 

 summer to Penpont, Birnswark, Newabbey, and Dundrennan. 

 The thanks of the Society are due to the Rev. George M'Conachie 

 for his interesting description of the ruins of Dundrennan Abbey. 

 On the whole the field meetings were more successful this year 

 than they have been for several seasons. 



As the subscription for membership is so small it would be an 

 advantage to the Society if the number of members were increased. 

 After paying for the publication of the Transactions the Treasurer 

 has very little money left for the incidental expenses of the Society. 

 It is therefore the duty of members to try and introduce friends 

 who will take an interest in the work of the Society, and by their 

 subscriptions contribute to its success and usefulness.
