278 REPORT OF MEETINGS FOR 1908 



the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club at their annual meeting 

 of 1907, this meeting is of opinion that for the information 

 and guidance of visitors it is highly desirable to indicate 

 the site of the battle of Flodden, and that the most appropriate 

 form for such a landmark would be a column, cross, or obelisk, 

 to mark the spot on or near which the Scottish King fell." 

 It was intimated that a number of noblemen and gentlemen 

 had agreed to act on the General Committee, and that an 

 Executive Committee was appointed to take all necessary 

 steps, Captain Norman and Mr A. L. Miller, J. P., undertaking 

 to act as joint honorary Secretaries, and Mr Wm. Maddan, 

 Berwick, as honorary Treasurer. 



A fine specimen of the Death's-head Hawk Moth (Acherontia 



atropos), taken at Whitsome East Newton on 

 Exhibits. 13th October, was exhibited by Dr James 



McWhir, Swinton, and a potted plant of Woad 

 (Isatis tinctoria) by the President, in illustration of his 

 description of its peculiar value in the production of certain 

 kinds of dyed material. 



The members thereafter dined in the Eed Lion 

 Club Hotel, when the customary toasts were duly
