The following articles were exhibited — a bronze Celt, 

 found on the Kimmerghame estate ; a large bronze Celt, 

 brought from Threeburnford, by Mr Renton, along with a 

 perfect stone Celt (since engraved in the Club's Proceedings), 

 and another broken stone Celt ; a* Silver Groat of Henry 

 IV., coined at Calais. An example of this coin is engraved 

 in Leake's " Account of English Money," Plate II., No. 22 . 

 It is inscribed on the obverse Henric Di Gra Bex Angl & 

 Franc, on the reverse Posui Deum Adiutore Meum, and on 

 an inner circle Villa Calisie ; it was found near Belses, Rox- 

 burghshire. Mr Renton also exhibited from the farm of 

 Over Howden, a stalk of barley with a double ear ; it divided 

 into two heads at the fourth grain, separating at the axil of 

 the grain without any foot stalk ; the heads after the fork 

 were nearly of equal length ; it had contained 22 grains, and 

 was of the Chevalier variety. Mr A. H. Evans brought a 

 specimen of the Clifden Nonpareil Moth, taken at Scremer- 

 ston, 4th September, 1876. 



The extensive library at Kimmerghame was next viewed 

 with much interest, it contains many rare volumes, especially 

 Club and privately printed books. In the hall is a pair of 

 large Red Deer antlers, of five tines each, the tops being 

 broken off, These were dug from a bog on the estate, where 

 the remains of the skull of a Beaver were also obtained. I 

 may mention that there is a similar skull in the Kelso
