12 Anniversary Address. 



possessed of its own records. Mr. Hardy showed a variety 

 of flint implements, obtained since those last figured and 

 described in the last Part of the Proceedings, and par- 

 ticularly a curved knife and a fine flint battle-axe, both from 

 Penmanshiel, Berwickshire ; and the Rev. Mr. Greenwell 

 concluded by an account of the various purposes to which 

 flint was rendered subservient among the savage races of 

 Britain. The Rev. Evan Rutter, M.A., Oxon, was proposed 

 as a member. 



The second meeting of this Club was held at Hawick, on 

 the 26th June, in connection with the Hawick Archaeological 

 Society. There were present : — The President, Dr. Stuart ; 

 Dr. F. Douglas, Secretary ; Dr. C. Douglas ; Revs. M. H. 

 Graham, A. Davidson, J.S. Green (Wooler), W. Lamb; Captain 

 McPherson ; Messrs. J. B. Boyd, Scott Dudgeon, Stevenson, 

 C. Watson, Wood, Currie, W. Dickson, W. B. Boyd, Borth- 

 wick and J. C. Langlands. The members of the Hawick 

 Archaeological Society present were — Dr. Brydone, President ; 

 Messrs Vernon and Watson, Secretaries ; Rev. J. R. Dakers ; 

 Professor Elliot, of Goldielands ; Messrs. Pringle (of Wilton 

 Lodge), John Thomson, Govenlock (Tiendside), C. M. Wilson, 

 R. Michie, John Davidson, R. Murray, R. Black, J. Guthrie, 

 A. S. Lawson, &c, &c. 



Unfortunately, the weather was wet ; but after breakfast 

 at the Tower Hotel, there were indications of a favourable 

 change. Several distinguished members of the Hawick 

 Archaeological Society had prepared papers describing the 

 antiquarian and geological features of Hawick and neigh- 

 bourhood. These papers were to have been read after 

 breakfast ; but as time was limited and a considerable 

 amount of sight-seeing to be done, they very thoughtfully 

 had their papers printed, and distributed to the members of 

 our Club in the room before breakfast — and as may be 

 imagined, this was a great convenience for reference during the 

 excursion. As these papers will appear in the next instal- 

 ment of our Proceedings, it is unnecessary for me to say more.
