BERWICKSHIRE NATURALISTS' CLUB. 



Address delivered to the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club, at 

 Kelso, September 24tth, 1874. By James Scott Robson, 

 M.D., of Belford, Bowmontwater. 



Gentlemen, 

 At the last annual meeting, the Club did me the honor of 

 electing me as their President for the coming year, and it 

 is now my duty to give a resume of the Proceedings of the 

 Club during the past summer ; but before doing so I must 

 allude briefly to the great loss the Club has sustained by the 

 death of four of its members since we met together at Ber- 

 wick in 1873, viz. : Messrs. J. C. Langlands and A. Jerdon, 

 the Rev. Canon Rooke, and the Rev. W. Procter. Mr. 

 Langlands took much interest in archaeological matters, and 

 was, I believe, the first, about forty years ago, who drew 

 attention to the rock markings, now found to be so common 

 on the rocks in Northumberland. Mr. Jerdon was a most 

 accomplished ornithologist and botanist ; several papers by 

 him on cryptogamic botany are preserved in the records of 

 the Club. Canon Rooke was President of the Club so long 

 ago as 1854. 



Our last annual meeting was held at Berwick, on the 25th
