118 Anniversary Address. 



are some other important differences. Edin's Hall stands 

 within a camp, and is only about ninety feet in internal 

 diameter, while the diameter of the area enclosed by the wall 

 at Harefaulds is above five hundred feet, and some of the 

 cells open into hut circles which come close to the wall. The 

 cells at Harefaulds are undoubtedly coeval with the camp ; 

 but it has been suggested that Edin's Hall may be of later 

 date than the camp within which it stands. Perhaps, how- 

 ever, the occurrence of cells within the great wall of Hare- 

 faulds helps to fix the age of Edin's Hall as coeval with the 

 camp of which it forms a part. Search was made for inscrip- 

 tions on the stones, and round hollows were observed on rocks 

 in situ near the entrance, but those appeared to be the work 

 of nature and not of art. 



After dinner, Dr. F. Douglas read a note from Mr. A. 

 Jerdon, in which he says : " I have gathered, this summer, 

 Fumaria micrantha in some abundance, in a corn field near 

 Jedburgh ; also Carex limosa in Gattonside Moss. The 

 specimens of this were all small and somewhat starved, having 

 generally only one fertile catkin." 



Dr. Douglas also showed a printed war bulletin from Staf- 

 ford, being the substance of an express that came to the hon. 

 committee of the Corn Exchange. The following is a copy : — ■ 

 "GREAT NEWS 

 FROM THE DUKE OF CUMBERLAND'S ARMY 

 IN THE NORTH. 

 Stafford, Dec. 4, 1745, Between 11 and 12. 



The Rebels instead of Marching to give our Forces Battle, are 

 Part of them to the number of about three thousand gone to 

 Leeke. The remaining Part of the King's Forces, that are in 

 this neighbourhood and Baggage with the Forces, returned to 

 Stafford last night, and are all hereabouts watching the motions 

 of the Rebels. I am apprehensive now it will be some time 

 before any of our Forces can come at them to give them Battle. 

 By all intelligence I can get, have no certain account where 

 General Wade is." 



Afterwards Dr. Robertson submitted for examination a 

 silver coin, in good condition, of David II., of the Edinburgh 

 mintage, coined in the neighbourhood of Lauder. Besides
