ANNUAL MEETING. 3 
given by Mr Elliot on his travels, and laudatory speech delivered 
by Sir James C. Browne. 
A Roman camp has been laid open at Birrens by the Scottish 
Society of Antiquaries, on the suggestion of Dr James Macdonald 
of Edinburgh. At the request of the Edinburgh society we elected 
Mr James Barbour as our representative on the excavation com- 
mittee. His choice has been amply rewarded, for he has been of 
inestimable value to the committee in their explorations. We 
hope to have a paper descriptive of the results of the excavations 
from Mr Barbour in the course of the session. 
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, 
very little money is left for the defrayment of the incidental 
expenses of the Society. It is therefore incumbent on members to 
introduce friends who will either take a personal interest in the work 
of the Society, or by their subscriptions contribute to its success 
and usefulness.
