298 REPORT OF MEETINGS FOR 1905 



face the Northern Sea, and quantities of mountain boulders, 

 swept down by torrents and rendered tough by immersion 

 in salt water, have lately been ooUected and removed by 

 contractors for county road-metal. The examination of the 

 shore as well as the rate of progression were facilitated by 

 the fact that the tide was out. 

 A delightful excursion was brought to a close by the 



members dining in the Cockburnspath Inn at 

 Club 4 p.m., under the chairmanship of Captain 



Dinner. Norman, the only ex-President present on the 



occasion. In the course of the dinner a 

 telegram from Mr Wm. B. Boyd, President, was read, in 

 which he expressed his deep regret at being unable to 

 attend owing to sickness, and wished them a successful 

 meeting. The usual toasts were duly honoured. An iron 

 nail, found in a ditch at the Eoman Fort at Newstead, was 

 exhibited by Mr T. B. Short, Berwick.
