58 Report of the Meetings for 1894. 



the plants collected by him or by the Club at former visits, 

 and intimated that his list of the Lichens and Coleoptera 

 will appear in the Proceedings when there is opportunity. 



It was also intimated that a local botanist, Mr W. G. 

 Good, was present with a herbarium of local plants, which 

 was afterwards carefully examined. 



Mr Ealph G. Huggup exhibited a Dagger and Bronze 

 Buckle, which had been dug up in the Inner Fame Island 

 between 1835 and 1850, during some excavations in what was 

 locally known as the Grave of the Seven Vikings. These 

 are described and figured in Club's Hist., 1893, pp 398-399, 

 Plate XII. 



The President also showed a Coin that had been found in 

 the ruins of Eoxburgh Castle in June. It was a French 

 Jeton of the fourteenth century. Such Coins were used to 

 facilitate calculations on a counting board, or were given as 

 presents. The legend is blundered, but seems to be equivalent 

 to — Obverse, "Main prudent — entendez, (au compte?)" ; Reverse, 

 "Par amour je suis donne." The Coin has been placed in 

 the museum at Kelso. 



An example of Sir ex gig as was sent from Cockburnspath. 

 This Saw-fly is now becoming very common, owing to the 

 number of decaying trees, brought from the woods, and used 

 as firewood about the village and farm steadings. 



Morpeth and Bothal. 



[This Meeting has been favoured with more than the usual number of 

 original Reports and Papers by competent recounters, which, although 

 lengthy, it is desirable, for their value, to preserve in one series with 

 slight curtailment.^ 



I. — Morpeth and Bothal. By James Fergusson, Morpeth. 



The Fourth Meeting for the year was held at Morpeth 

 for Bothal, on the 29th of August. The Queen's Head Hotel 

 was the headquarters, as it was, with one exception, on former 

 occasions when the Club visited the town. At the "Queen's" 

 and other inns, several members arrived on the previous 

 (Tuesday) afternoon.
