side of tlie little brook, in great luxuriance. This Stellaria 

 appears to be local in its distribution, as some of tlie members 

 had not seen it before. In the dene was also observed, but 

 sparingly. Milium effusum. A Hieracium was growing on 

 the scaur below the Lintalee cave, probably murorum, as the 

 stem was nearly leafless. 



On proceeding to Fernihirst, the locality of Gagea lutea 

 was searched, but without success, and Mr. Jerdon men- 

 tioned, that for the last two or three years he had been unable 

 to find the plant, so that it is apparently lost at this station. 

 Veronica montana was observed by the river side in some 

 abundance. In returning to Jedburgh, Mr. Jerdon pointed 

 out some plants of Geranium lucidum, on an old wall near 

 Fernihirst, and also Bartramia pomiformis , sparingly, on 

 another part of the same wall. The common wood and road- 

 side plants of this season were in great beauty and profusion. 



After dinner, a paper giving an account of the opening of 

 two Barrows at Ford, by the Rev. W. Greenwell, was read.
