After dinner a paper was read from Mr Walter Deans on the 

 places that approximate the line of route of the excursion ; to be 

 followed by another paper on a supposed branch of the Catrail ; 

 a list of Graptolites, principally from the Moffat district, but 

 including a few from the Slitrig and Eiccarton Shales, by Pro- 

 fessor Lapworth ; and a list of local Mosses — both sent by Mr 

 Andrew Waugh. A fine polished massive felstone Celt found 

 on a heap of field-stones on Euberslaw, and belonging to Mr 

 Walter Turnbull, Bonchester, was exhibited by Capt. Macmillan 

 Scott. The Celt was 11^ inches long by a breadth of 3 inches at 

 the broader end, 4 inches in the middle, and then diminishing to 

 3 inches and 1 inch at the narrow end. A figure will be got of 

 it. Mr J. G. Winning described an Urn from Eckford, and has 

 since sent a paper on it, and a photograph of the Urn. 



The health of Mrs Muirhead coupled with that of Mr Muirhead,

At the 5tli Meeting on September 10th, 40 were present, the 

 places selected being Carham, Wark, Wark Castle and Cornhill, 

 from Sunnilaws Station. Mrs Hodgson Huntley most hospitably 

 invited the members to luncheon at Carham Hall. 



Attention was first directed to the Church and Churchyard. 

 The church tower is very ornamental and conspicuous, rising 

 above the stately trees by which it is environed. The church 

 and churchyard are situated on the margin of a raised platform 

 or bank, which encircles a grassy haugh that here stretches for 

 a far way up the Tweed. On the rough slope behind and out- 

 side the churchyard wall are the remains of a Monastery which 

 belonged to the Black Canons of Kirkham in Yorkshire, founded 

 in the time of Henry I. Learmouth, Mindrum, and Wark were 

 its subordinate chapels. The remains are very fragmentary and 

 structureless. There were several old Hawthorn bushes loaded
