256 president's address. 



Several nests of Common or Arctic Terns containing 



clutches of two or three eggs were noticed on the sea side 



of the Island, and some very young Redshanks were also 



seen.

The Fourth Meeting of the Club was fixed for the 

 district of Allendale on Monday, the nth of August, 1902. 



The early morning announced itself with a blue sky and 

 bright sunshine, but the exceptional clearness of the atmos- 

 phere indicated a possibility of rain later in the day. Thirteen 

 members and their friends assembled in Newcastle Station, 

 and left for Hay don Bridge at 10.25 a.m., reaching there at 



11.13 ^'^^^ 



After suitable driving and hotel arrangements had been 

 made, the journey to Allendale was commenced. The 

 weather had become more threatening after leaving New- 

 castle, but the sky was of that changing character which 

 indicated nothing more serious than occasional showers. 

 The road from Haydon Bridge is through a dell in which 

 flows the Langley Burn. By the side of the road is a stone 

 cross, erected by the late Mr. C. J. Bates in 1883, which bears 

 the following inscription : — 



"To the memory of James and Charles, Vicounts Langley, Earls of 



Derwentwater, beheaded on Tower Hill, London, 24th February, 



1 716, and 8th December, 1746, for loyalty to their lawful 



sovereign." 



In a little while Langley Castle was reached at a distance 



of about i^ miles from Haydon Bridge. This Castle was 



built about the year 1350, probably on the site of an older 



residence. It preserves all its original outlines, and is a 



characteristic example of a fortified English house of the time 



of its erection. In the beginning of the 15th century it 



appears to have been seriously damaged by Henry IV. as 



he advanced into the county against the Earl of Northumber-
