Anniversary Address. 245 



and hereafter sections of the terraces, in the valley of the 

 CoUedge, among the Cheviots, made by Mr. George Cunning- 

 ham, of Coldstream, were exhibited ; and Mr. Adam Mathe- 

 son, of Jedburgh, gave the meeting the results of his observa- 

 tions as to the formation of the well-known Greenlaw Kaims. 



The third meeting was held at Beadnell, on the 26th July. 

 I was not present at this meeting, but Mr. Tate has kindly 

 furnished me with some particulars, of which the following 

 is an abstract : — 



Upwards of forty members were entertained at breakfast 

 by Mr. Embleton, Beadnell Cottage — one of the oldest mem- 

 bers of the club — and after breakfast his excellent collections, 

 in many branches of natural history, were examined by the 

 party with much pleasure before setting out on their excur- 

 sions. 



One division of the party rambled along the sea-coast from 

 Ebb's Nook to Sunderland, observing its geological features, 

 and visiting the ruins of a small chapel supposed to belong to 

 the 13 th century. 



The largest division sailed from Beadnell harbour, to ex- 

 plore the Fame Islands, and visited the three principal ones. 

 The natural history of these islands has been already de- 

 scribed at length in the transactions of the club, and the 

 additional observations will appear in a separate paper. 



The party were reunited at dinner, which took place in a 

 tent, in a field near Beadnell — Mr. Embleton occupying the 

 chair. 



After dinner, Mr. Milne Home gave an able account of 

 the geological features observed on the islands ; and a rare 

 fossil fern from the old red sandstone of Berwickshire, and 

 some bones discovered on the estate of Shoreston by the Rev. 

 L. S. Orde were exhibited, of which an account will appear 

 in the transactions. 



The fourth meeting of the club took place, on the 30th 

 August, at Cockburnspath, where, notwithstanding the very 

 unfavourable weather of the day previous, a tolerable muster 

 of members appeared. I am indebted to Mr. Tate for an 

 ac^count of this meeting also.
