214 Report of the Meetings for 1895. 



guide to the camps ; to Mr Anderson, who went with Mr 

 Bolam and the botanical party ; to Mr Barrie, who led the 

 way to the various camps ; and to Mr Marshall, who 

 accompanied another party, as well as to others who assisted 

 them in the work of the day. (Applause.) He thought 

 their thanks were also due to the North British Eailway 

 Company and the North Eastern Railway Company, both of 

 whom had granted return tickets to members at a single 

 fare. (Applause.) 



The Chairman then asked for the exhibition of any 

 botanical, geological, or antiquarian specimens, which members 

 might wish to bring under the notice of the Club, and he 

 showed several photographs of the Black Sow (a rock) near 

 Longframlington, which a friend of his in Alnwick had 

 taken. These were handed round and inspected by the 

 company. 



He then read the following list of nominations for 

 membership, viz. : — Edmund J. Garwood, United Universities 

 Club, Pall Mail, London ; Andrew Usher, St. Abbs ; George 

 Nisbet, Rumbleton, Greenlaw ; Rev. Hugh Fleming, Mor- 

 dington ; John Charles Fenwick, Longframlington, Morpeth ; 

 Charles Edward Purvis, Westacres, Alnwick; Rev. James F. 

 Leishman, Linton ; A. D. Robson, Galashiels ; James Dunlop, 

 Castle Terrace, Berwick ; John H. Laurie, Hardens, Duns ; 

 His Honour Francis John Greenwell, Durham, Judge of the 

 County Court of Northumberland. 



Dr Leishman showed a document which he said had been 

 in his possession for a good many years, and which, it 

 occurred to him, was worthy of being recorded in the 

 Proceedings of the Club. It was a return, dated July 1649, 

 of the ecclesiastical extent and other particulars of the nine 

 parishes which formed the then Presbytery of Kelso. It 

 had never, he believed, been published, and he thought 

 there were a number of details in it which would be very 

 interesting in the locality. The proposal was approved. 



Mr Bolam mentioned that he had seen, in the house of 

 Mr Barrie, a White-winged Crossbill, which Mr Barrie had 

 shot on the Staneshiel. It. was a very rare bird ; but is 

 already recorded by Mr Barrie, jun., in the Club's Proceed- 

 ings. Mr Barrie had also a specimen of the Grasshopper 

 Warbler, killed in the young woods on Drakemire.
