IV. — Report of the Meeting. By the President. 



The weather was delightful, and the walk most pleasant. 

 Archaeologists, botanists, and visitors found constant interest 

 in the various objects of research, and in the beauties of the 

 landscape glowing in the brilliance of the sunshine. The 

 Rev. John Walker was most zealous and happy in his 

 conduct of our excursion. 



As Mr Fergusson of Morpeth has narrated the wanderings 

 of the day in detail, at the request of Dr Hardy, it is only 

 necessary for me to refer, in supplement, to certain features 

 to which the Club pays special attention. 



For instance, the following less common plants were fouud 

 in the Chapel Woods by Messrs Boyd, Evans, Paul, and 

 others. Epipactia latifolia (S.W.), Stachys Betonica (Benth.), 

 and ambigua (Smith.) Hordeum syhaticum (Huds.), Equisetun 

 maximum (Lamk.), Hieracium boreale (Fries), Carex pendula 

 (Huds.), and aylvatica (Huds.), Melica uniflora (Pietz), Festuca 

 gigantea (Vill.), Brachy podium syhaticum (R. and S.), and 

 Pimpinella magna (L.) As the rarity of this last plant, in the 

 Border Flora, has given rise to some discussion, it will be of ser- 

 vice to state Dr Hardy's information about it. (See Appendix.) 



The grounds of Bothal Haugh, where resided the Hon. 

 and Rev. W. C. Ellis, M.A., Rector of Bothal, afforded 

 immense gratification to the botanists also. Some idea of the 

 variety and rarity of the flowers and shrubs there maybe gathered 

 from the list which Mr Bowles, the gardener, has furnished. 



On leaving the grounds the wild flowers seen were Vicia 

 aylvatioa (L.), Polygonatum muUiflorum (AH.), Campanula latifolia
