PROCEEDINGS 



BERWICKSHIRE NATURALISTS' CLUB. 



Address to the Members, delivered at the Anniversary Meeting, 

 held at Warkworth, September 18, 1850. By William 

 Broderick, Esq., President. 



Gentlemen, 

 Since by your favour I have been placed in the honourable po- 

 sition of your President, on this occasion it becomes my duty, as 

 well as pleasure, to offer you a short account of our proceedings 

 during the year, and resign the Chair I have for that period 

 been permitted to occupy. 



Our last Anniversary Meeting was held at Etal, and I must 

 mention with regret that it was so thinly attended, both as 

 being an anniversary meeting, and also because our President 

 had provided most liberally those " creature comforts " which 

 add so much to the physical gratifications of the day ; yet to a 

 table furnished for twenty, but six members sat down, greatly 

 to the disappointment of our most hospitable President. The 

 dinner party was increased by only one, the members present 

 being Capt. Carpenter (President), Dr. Johnston, Dr. Clarke, 

 Rev. Thomas Knight, Rev. H. Evans, Mr. Gregson, and Mr. 

 George Carpenter. The weather being favourable for a walk, 

 the Club, after breakfast, strolled along the sides of the Till below
