Anniversary Address. 13 



three surrounding parishes of Felton, Shilbottle, and Wark- 

 worth without reference to jurisdiction, and that the chapel 

 is known as that of Brainshaugh rather than that of Guy- 

 zance. * * * The ground at Guyzance is broken 

 and uncultivated, and altogether very wildly beautiful. The 

 mill is still an interesting object, and near it is a ferry over 

 which a pretty Northumbrian maiden steers the fortunate 

 passenger." Except the single capital mentioned by Mr 

 Longstaffe, and which is of late Norman, the members could 

 discern no indication in the ruin of the Norman or transi-

 which, under the personal and constant superintendence of Mr 

 Dunn, has lately undergone a most judicious restoration. 



Among the plants reported to have been gathered between 

 Warkworth and Amble were Glaux maritima^ Diplotaxis 

 tenuifolia, Melilotus officinalis, Honchenya peploides, Malva 

 moschata, Cakili maritima. 



After dinner a conversation took place on the impossibility 

 of completing full sets of the transactions of the club ; and it 

 was resolved that the members at the annual meeting at Bel- 

 ford consider the propriety of reprinting a certain number of 

 the earlier parts. 



A paper by Dr Embleton was read on the sand grouse, a 

 native of Syria and adjoining countries, which however has
