PROCEEDINGS 



BERWICKSHIRE NATURALISTS' CLUB. 



Address delwered to the Berwickshire Naturalists'' Cluh, at 

 Kelso, September 21thj 1866. By Archibald Jerdon, 

 Esq., President. 



Gentlemen, 



In commencing the usual address which is expected from 

 the Presidents of this club on their retirement from office, I 

 must express my regret that on two occasions I was prevented 

 attending the field-meetings of the season — on both occasions 

 by absence from home, — and I feel that I owe an apology to 

 the members for my non-appearance, as it is certainly the 

 duty of the President, elected by them, to endeavour to be 

 present at all the meetings. 



As it is customary for the President to give a brief account 

 of the meetings held during his year of office, I shall proceed 

 to do this, without further preface, and then make some 

 remarks on the whole.
