Report of the Meetings of the Berwickshire Naturalists' 

 Club for 1894. By the Rev. George Gunn, M.A., 

 Stichill and Hume; and revised by Dr Hardy. 



Addinstone and Longcroft. 



The First Meeting was at Earlston and Lauder, on the 

 6th June 1894, for Addinstone and Longcroft. In face of 

 the wet weather it was rather a precarious undertaking for 

 our local members, at these two centres, to arrange for the 

 conduct of a successful meeting of the Club to these Hill 

 Forts. Their energy was proof against all misgivings, and 

 the vitality of the Club met their sanguine expectations. 



The following twenty-four members were present: — Rev. 

 George Gunn, Stichill, President ; Sir William Crossman, 

 Cheswick ; Dr Stuart, Chirnside ; Messrs W. B. Boyd, 

 Faldonside; T. Craig-Brown, Selkirk, ex-Presidents of the Club ; 

 Rev. Messrs Martin, Lauder ; Callander, Galashiels ; Macduff 

 Simpson, Edrom ; and MacOuUoch, Greenlaw ; Dr Stuart 

 Stirling, Edinburgh ; Messrs R. Romanes, F.S.A. Scot., Lauder ; 

 W. T. Hindmarsh, F.L.S., Alnwick; R. H. Dunn, F.S.A. Scot., 

 Earlston; T. Scott, A.R.S.A., Bowden ; James Laidlaw and 

 T. Small, Jedburgh ; James Wood and John TurnbuU, 

 Galashiels ; George Henderson, Upper Keith ; William Madden 

 and William Alder, Berwick; H. Hewat Craw, F.S.A. Scot., 

 West Foulden ; and W. Grant Guthrie, Hawick. The guests 

 included Mr Francis Lynn, F.S.A. Scot., Galashiels; and 

 Messrs Dickinson, Longcroft. 



The earlier portion of the company breakfasted at Earlston, 

 which was left at 9-30 a.m., and the party was completed 

 at the Camps by later arrivals. 



An Itinerary, carefully drawn up by an early and loyal 

 member of the Club, was placed in the hands of the visitors 

 of the day. It will be found in the Proceedings. It may be 

 serviceable for other purposes, and perhaps for suggesting 

 that a precedent so excellent as this, or that Itinerary prepared 

 by Mr Craig-Brown for the meeting at Selkirk some two 

 years ago, may be more frequently followed. It is thus 

 unnecessary to refer further to the varied features or the 

 historical associations of the Lauder road.
