Report of Meetings foi- 1890. By Dr J. Hardy. 83 



Dr Hardy, Secretary, read the Eeports of the Proceedings 

 during the past year, after which a list of new members admitted 

 during the year was submitted and approved. Their names 

 have appeared in the printed list of members in Vol. xii. 



Dr Hardy then laid the following notices, Drawings, etc., 

 before the Club, as some of the results of last year's inquiries. 



1. — Cross. Eabbing of a small ancient Cross discovered about 20 yards 

 from the Eoman Station at Chew Green near the head of the Coquet, of 

 date 11th Nov. 1889. It is of sandstone, and the cruciform head is pecu- 

 liarly shaped, and has upon its face a Latin cross, hollowed out of the 

 stone, except in the middle where it is raised up in a square. It was dug 

 up by a shepherd. It had been fixed in a pedestal. The stone is 1 ft. 4 

 in. long ; and its greatest breadth where it projects triangularly is 1 foot 

 1 inch ; the neck is 3^ inches across ; the base 4| inches, narrowing to 

 3 in. for inserting within a socket or pedestal. The concave cross on the 

 face is nearly 8 inclies long, by 8 across. The Cross has been presented 

 by Capt. J. E. Carr-Ellison, of Dunston Hill and Hedgeley, to the Museum 

 of the Society of Antiquaries, Newcastle, and has been figured in the 

 Proceedings of that Society, vol. iv. p. 277 (29th Oct. 1890). The rubbing 

 was sent by Mr J. W. Thomson, Towford School, Kale Water ; who men- 

 tions that there is another stone there at the Eoman station " shaped like 

 a common bowl but broken in two." The Society of Antiquaries of 

 Newcastle-upon-Tyne have kindly lent their block of this curious cross. 



2. — Crosses. Drawings of two Crosses of peculiar forms or sculpturing 

 from Slabs in Nisbet Churchyard, Eoxburghshire. By Mrs Wood, 

 Woodburn, Galashiels.
