104 Anniversary Address. 



which was found thirty feet helow the surface of the earth • 

 bronze-socketed celts from Rule Water, in Roxburghshire, 

 and a small stone celt from Bellingham ; bronze pots with 

 flat horizontal handles, and other relics, found while draining 

 near Ruberslaw. The Mayor of Berwick shewed stone 

 cannon balls, fourteen inches in circumference, and one of 

 iron, sixteen inches in circumference, found in the well of 

 Edrington Castle ; and Mr. D. Milne Home brought before 

 the meeting pieces of coal, and other rocks out of the boulder 

 clay of Berwickshire. 



An excellent dinner was provided by the host of the King's 

 Arms Inn, to which a company of thirty did justice ; after 

 which the president, Sir Walter Elliot, read an able address, 

 giving an account of the proceedings of the several meetings 

 held during the year, with historical notices of the places 

 visited. He then nominated the Rev. George Selby Thom- 

 son, Rector of Acklington, as president for the ensuing year, 

 a proposal which was unanimously agreed to. Mr. D. Milne 

 Home and Mr. George Tate afterwards gave an account of 

 the result of the recent exploration of Edin's Hall, and it was 

 resolved on the motion of Dr. Francis Douglas, that the 

 Secretary be authorised to aid, by an additional contribution 

 from the funds of the Club, the further exploration of that 

 curious ancient fort. 



After the proceedings of the Club were finished, several of 

 the members adjourned to the Assembly Rooms, to take part 

 in a public meeting in connection with the Berwick museum. 

 Twelve nominations for membership were made, and seconded. 



The first meeting of the Club, for this year, was held at 

 Kyloe Crags, on Wednesday, May 25th. 



Twenty-one years ago, the Club explored Kyloe Crags, 

 when a special interest was given to the meeting by the re- 

 discovery of the rare Cotivallaria polygo?iatnm, which had 

 first been observed there by A. Bruce. The Rev. John Baird 

 first noticed here the Asplenium septentrionale, and in 1853, 

 Dr. G. R. Tate discovered the very rare Asplenium germani- 

 cum growing among the debris of the crags.
