180 COMMITTEER’S ADDRESS. 
From the top of the crag, Mr. Tate pointed out the range of the 
basalt through the country, from Kyloe on the north, te Glen- 
whelt on the south, showing that its relative position among the 
limestone strata is not the same throughout its range, in one part 
a well recognised limestone sill, being immediately above it, and 
in others many fathoms below it. 
All were re-united at dinner, at which the insufficient pro- 
vision and defective arrangements caused much confusion. Mr. 
D. Milne Holme, President of the Berwickshire Naturalists’ Club, 
took the chair and our late President, Dr. Johnson, the vice-chair. 
When the cloth was removed, Mr. Holme congratulated the 
members of both Clubs, on the success of the re-union of two 
societies whose objects and pursuits are identical. Dr. John- 
son having replied on behalf of our Club, the following papers 
were read by Mr. Mennell. 
I.—On the Influence of external circumstances on the Growth 
of a Sea-weed, Callithamnion Rothii, by Mr. George S. Brady. — 
II.—On a Curious Instinct of the Wasp, by Mr. T. J. Bold. 
Both have since been printed. 
The Rev. Mr. Clark, of Belford, mentioned having observed 
a similar occurrence to that described by Mr. Bold. 
Mr. George Tate, F.G.S., Secretary of the Berwickshire Club, 
then read his paper ‘On the Remains of a Celtic Town on 
Greaves Ash, near Linhope,” with the results of the excavations 
recently made there. The fact of many of our members having 
visited these ruins on the occasion of our great Cheviot meeting, 
made it additionally interesting. This valuable contribution to 
our knowledge of a remote and obscure period of our history, has 
just appeared in the Proceedings of the Berwickshire Club, Vol. 
IV. p. 298, and is illustrated with a number of excellent plates. 
We can only give a bare outline of it here. 
The whole valley of the Breamish seems to have contained 
a@ numerous population in ancient British times, for the hills 
there are covered with forts and the remains of dwellings. The 
most remarkable of them is that on GreavesAsh. Itwas, indeed, 
a fortified town, with defences of great walls, from 5 to 12 feet 
in thickness, indicating military skill. Circular dwellings, in
