PROCEEDINGS 



OF THE 



BERWICKSHIRE NATURALISTS' CLUB. 



Address to the Members of the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club, 

 delivered at the Anniversary Meeting held at Grant's- House, 

 September 3rd, 1851. By the Rev. W. S; Gilly, D.D. 



Gentlemen, 

 It is usual for the President, at our Anniversaries, to read a 

 summary of the last year's proceedings of our Club, but having- 

 been prevented from attending your pleasant meetings, I am in- 

 debted to your indefatigable Secretary, Dr. Johnston, for the notes 

 which enable me to perform this part of my duty. Most sin- 

 cerely do I congratulate Dr. Johnston on the continued success 

 of our Association, which he so happily established twenty years 

 ago, and which has nourished more and more under his watchful 

 and genial auspices. 



" Warkworth, Sept. 18, 1850.— Seduced by its fame, the Club 

 were led beyond their legal limits to meet at Warkworth this 

 day, and the great beauty of the place, independently of its his- 

 torical and legendary associations, might well be pleaded in ex- 

 cuse of the trespass. The attendance of members was consi- 

 derable. The company consisted of Dr. Johnston, Mr. Embleton, 

 Dr. Clarke, Mr. Broderick, Mr. Collingwood, Rev. J. Dixon
