OF THE 



BERWICKSHIRE NATURALISTS' CLUB. 



Address delivered to the Berwickshire Naturalists Club, 

 at Berwick, lOth October 1894. By the Rev. George 

 GuNN, M.A., Stichill and Hume. 



Gentlemen, 



In surrendering my trust into your hands, I 

 sincerely thank you for your confidence in electing me 

 President of the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club. The 

 greatness of the honour I sincerely esteem. It formed 

 an urgent inducement to devote my time and energy 

 to the discharge of its duties, and, whatever have 

 been my disqualifications or deficiencies, to further the 

 interests of the Club. 



I would gratefully recognise the loyalty of our local 

 members who successfully arranged for our expeditions 

 this year, and who have thus done much to maintain 

 the prestige of this, the Premier Field Club of Great 

 Britain. Our obligations to our honoured Secretary and 

 Treasurer have been deepened by the very prosperity of 

 the Club. Nor should we omit to record our appreciation 

 of the interest shown in our researches by those gentlemen 

 who have permitted us to visit their domains.
