the thread of the Club's history, at the point where my 

 predecessor has put it into my hand, and I have to congratulate 

 you all on the very satisfactory and successful assemblages we 

 have this year had. 



The Annual Meeting was held at Cornhill, on September 

 26th, 1867, when there were present : Dr. Francis Douglas, 

 President; Mr. George Tate, Secretary; and Messrs. W. 

 B. Boyd, John B. Boyd, Robert Middlemas, John Paxton, 

 George Hilson, Robert Douglas, William Anderson, T. Y. 

 Greet, T. E. Friar, Charles Rea, James Cunningham, William 

 Cunningham, A. Jerdon, George Hughes, Dr. Turnbull; 

 Reverends Robert Jones, P. MacDonall, W. C. King, S. A. 

 Fyler, William Darnell, P. Mearns, William Lamb, J. S. 

 Green, J. Dixon Clarke, D. McAlister, and P. McKerron. 



After breakfast the accounts were audited, and the subscrip- 

 tion for the ensuing year was fixed at six shillings. 



Before commencing the walk of the day, the Rev. S. A. 

 Fyler read a paper on Cornhill, which has been printed in 

 the Proceedings of the Club. The party after visiting the 

 church proceeded to Kippie hill, where there are traces of the 

 ancient inhabitants of the country; and engaged with interest 

 in digging into the hill, the result of which will be given. 

 Learmouth bog and the district around were examined, and 

 of the more remarkable plants found there, a notice is con- 

 tained in the President's Address of 1867. A fine bright 

 autumnal day was favourable for field explorations. 



After dinner, the President's Address was read, and James 

 Hardy, Esq., of Old Cambus, was elected President for the 

 ensuing year. 



The following gentlemen were elected members, viz. : Mr. 

 J. A. Appleton, F.S.A., Durham; Mr. G. F. Tweddell, F.S.A.,
