 tions. Monuments' Committee, to inspect the work 



recently carried out in connection with the 

 Elizabethan walls of the ancient Border town, towards whose 

 prosecution the Club had recently voted a contribution of 

 £5. Having delayed till the arrival of the train from Edin- 

 burgh, which unfortunately was late, members were deprived 

 of the pleasure of leisurely investigating the portions of the 

 ramparts brought under their notice, but were fortunate 

 enough to visit two Flankers which have been cleared of the 

 accumulations of years of neglect, and in great measure 

 restored to their original condition. The first examined is 

 known as the Cumberland East Flanker, entry to which 

 was obtained by an original covered way, situated at tb?
