Water. The cast of a stone found the previous week at that 

 place was shown. There was on it a considerable amount of 

 carving, including the representation of a Boar, the symbol of the 

 20th Roman Legion, which has also been found at Newstead, and 

 a bird which may be a Haven. The stone when found was not 

 nearly entire, and there were indications that the part that is 

 wanting had borne an inscription. A plan of the portion of the 

 (Station already laid bare, drawn and measured by Mr Andrew 

 Currie, Darnick, was also handed round. Three new members 

 were proposed, namely : — Mr Thomas Siuison, Commercial Bank, 

 Jedburgh ; Mr F. E. Rutherford, Hawick ; and Mr Louis 

 Stevenson, Mount Ulston. The meeting broke up at half-past
