Henry Hewat Craw, West Foulden. By Charles 

 Stuart, M.D., Chirnside. 



It is with deep regret that I record the death of Mr 

 Craw, a zealous member of the Berwickshire Naturalists' 

 Club, on the 23rd February 1900, whose presence will be 

 much missed by many resident in the Eastern Borders. 

 Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, his funeral 

 at Foulden Churchyard, on the 27th of that month, was

He was possessed of a cultivated intelligence. His out- 

 of-door life afforded him many opportunities of observing 

 Nature, which he was not slow in taking advantage of. He 

 confirmed by observation the presence of the true Alpine 

 Hare in Lammermoor, at Byre Cleugh, by specimens shot 

 there and at other places. Also many other facts in natural 

 history recorded in our Proceedings. He was deeply read 

 in history, especially relative to the old wars, his fine 

 library of books affording him information not often found 

 in a private house. He took great .pleasure in antiquarian 

 investigations. The remains of old British Camps along the 

 face of Bunkle Edge, in Lammermoor, and in many other 

 places in Great Britain, had been carefully examined by
