220 Report of Meetings for 1888. By J. Hardy. 



wide is divided by a 4-inch wall into two divisions, one of which 

 seems to have contained a fire-place. Close to these foundations 

 there was found at a slightly lower level the remains of some 

 still earlier work, and he would venture to suggest that these may 

 fix the site of the cell to which St. Cuthbert was wont to retire 

 before he went to Fame. Raiue put down Cuddy's Cove among 

 the sandstone hills to the west of Kyloe Crags as the spot ; but 

 as Monsignor Eyre has pointed out in his "History of St. 

 Cuthbert," this place did not at all coincide with the description 

 of Bede, who said it was a part not far from the monastery, and 

 surrounded on all sides by water by the flowing of the tide. 

 This description perfectly agreed with St. Cuthbert's Island, and 

 he therefore ventured to think this was the site of the cell, and 

 not Cuddy's Cove. 



Mr John Bolam and Mr James Heatley were nominated to 

 audit the Treasurer's accounts. 



Mr John Scott Dudgeon, Louguewton, St. Boswells, was 

 elected President for the ensuing year. 



The Meetings for 1889 were fixed as follows ; Glanton for 

 Linhope, Ingram, and Hedgeley Station; Mindinmi for 1'axton 

 and the country behind ; Newcastleton for Liddesdale ; Duns for 

 Upper Whitadder ; Beadnell ; Berwick. 



A vote of thanks to Mr Culley- for presiding, terminated the 

 proceedings. 



Afterwards the Members dined at the King's Arms Hotel.
