BEIIWICKSHIRB NATURALISTS' CLUB. 



Address delivered to the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club, 

 at Berwick, October lUh, 1891. By Watson Askew 

 Robertson, Esq., of Pallinsburn and Ladykirk, 

 President. 



Gentlemen, 



The Annual Meeting of onr Club having 

 again come round, it becomes my duty to express to you 

 my most sincere thanks for the great, though undeserved 

 lionour you conferred on me twelve months ago, when you 

 elected me your President — an honour I shall to the last 

 day of my life prize most highly, and can only regret my 

 inability to discharge the duties more efficiently. This 

 regret is brought more and more painfully home to me, 

 when the Address, it is customary for your President to 

 deliver, has to be composed ; because neither as a Naturalist, 

 a iiotanist, a Zoologist, a Geologist, or an Antiquary, can I 

 lay claim to that knowledge, which has made the Addresses 

 of many of my predecessors in this chair so interesting and 

 instructive, and has added so much prestige to the office 

 you conferred on me.
