The two fine Camps were next visited, and from the command- 

 ing position of Bewick Hill a magnificent view of country was 

 obtained for miles around. Below, the Yale of the Breamish was 

 spread out like a panorama, and Simonside, Thrunton, and Callaly 

 Crags, and the entire Cheviot Eange could be seen clearly out- 

 lined against the sky. Bewick Chapel, next visited, is one of the 

 most interesting specimens of Norman architecture in the county. 

 Restored in 1867 through the instrumentality of the late Mr J. 

 C. Langlands, it still retains much of its ancient and typical 

 character, and the leading features were pointed out by Archdeacon 

 Martin. The foundation stones of the old Border-hold or tower 

 of Bewick, which cross the Alnwick and Wooler road, were pointed 

 out as the company drove over them. From here the party returned 

 to Eglingham. Interesting botanical specimens were secured on 

 the moors, among them being Genista anplica, Trientalis Europoea, 

 Butterwort, Tormentil, Milkwort, and Cottougrass, and 

 Blechnums, Ladyfern, Male Fern, etc. 



Dinner was served in the Eglingham school room by Mr Burn

 Club," and " The lady members." The following new members 

 were nominated: — Mr Maberley Phillips, Bank of England, 

 Newcastle ; Mr George G. Turnbull, Abbey Saint Bathans, Duns ;

 E. Carr, Duuston. The President referred in regretful 

 terms to the absence of Dr Hardy, who had, however, taken 

 pains that they should not suffer by his not being present. They 

 were very grateful to him for having done so much to make up 

 for his absence, and they hoped he would yet be able to join 

 them during the summer. (Applause.) Mr Middlemas intimated 

 that he had promised to take the correspondence during the 

 year. Mr G. H.Thompson proposed a vote of thanks to Mr Tait 

 for acting as guide that day, and the motion was heartily 

 carried. Mr G. H.Thompson exhibited an Urn which was taken 

 out of an ancient British grave near a quarry that is being 

 worked by Messrs Green and Douglas at Amble. A number of 

 similar Urns were found a few years ago at the same place, and 

 Mr Thompson has three others in his possession. Mr Robert
