 The members proceeded by conveyances from Dunse to 

 Edin's Hall, where Mr. J. Turnbull, of Abbey St. Bathan's, 

 read an able and interesting report on the result of the ex- 

 ploration of Edin's Hall, and exhibited the relics which had 

 been found. He also read a notice of the excavation of a 

 chapel at Abbey St. Bathan's. After examining the various 

 portions. of Edin's Hall, exposed by the recent excavations, 

 it was considered, that while sufficient had been done in the 

 exploration of the great Hall, there were several hut circles 

 within the camp, and other antiquities in the immediate 

 neighbourhood, which ought to be also explored. The 

 following resolution, proposed by Mr. Tate, and seconded by 

 the President, was unanimously passed : — 



" That the members express their approval of the work 

 which the Committee, conducting the exploration of Edin's 

 Hall, had done, and their thanks to Mr. John Turnbull, con- 

 vener of the Committee, for his lucid exposition of the results 

 of the exploration, but they also urge the Committee to com- 

 plete the investigation, by clearing out the circles within the 

 rampiers of the camp, and by examining any other of the 

 antiquities on Cockburn's Law, which would be likely to 

 throw light on the history cf Edin's Hall." 



The members afterwards rambled over Cockburn's Law, 

 and viewed various camps and barrows, and then returned to 

 Dunse to dinner, at which forty-four were present. 



After dinner, Sir Walter Elliot read Ornithological Notes,
