PROCEEDINGS 



BERWICKSHIRE NATURALISTS' CLUB. 



Address delivered to the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club 

 at Berwick, October 11th, 1893. By Captain John 

 R. Carr-Ellison of Hedgeley, President. 



Gentlemen, 



I have now the pleasing duty to perform, on 

 this the last Meeting of the Club during my year of 

 office as your President, to thank you for the great 

 honour you did me in electing me last year. I do not 

 know why you did so, except, pei'haps, that it was my 

 turn to till the office, as I have never seriously taken 

 up any special branch of Science. I must, therefore, 

 while thanking you for the honour conferred on me, ask 

 you to be content with a very short Address with 

 regard to our Meetings. 



I think that the Places fixed on were an excellent 

 selection ; all were most interesting, and at each of them 

 great care and trouble were taken by the owners of 

 objects of interest to show and explain them to us, and 

 great kindness and hospitality were shown us, for which 

 our warmest thanks are due. Though deprived, on 

 account of his illness, of the pleasure of having our 

 esteemed and invaluable Secretary, Dr Hardy, at any of 

 our Meetings, yet he took such pains to arrange all the 

 details of our expeditions, and to provide efficient guides
