COMP. 7OOL APR 1 6 1957 HARWARD PROCEEDINGS OF THE BERWICKSHIRE NATURALISTS' CLUB. Address to the Members, delivered at the Anniversary Meeting, held at Warkworth, September 18, 1850. By WILLIAM BRODERICK, Esq., President. GENTLEMEN, SINCE by your favour I have been placed in the honourable position of your President, on this occasion it becomes my duty, as well as pleasure, to offer you a short account of our proceedings during the year, and resign the Chair I have for that period been permitted to occupy. Our last Anniversary Meeting was held at Etal, and I must mention with regret that it was so thinly attended, both as being an anniversary meeting, and also because our President had provided most liberally those "creature comforts" which add so much to the physical gratifications of the day; yet to a table furnished for twenty, but six members sat down, greatly to the disappointment of our most hospitable President. The dinner party was increased by only one, the members present being Capt. Carpenter (President), Dr. Johnston Dr. Clarke, Rev. Thomas Knight, Rev. H. Evans, Mr. Gregson, and Mr. George Carpenter. The weather being favourable for a walk, the Club, after breakfast, strolled along the sides of the Till below Etal, where the following plants were noticed-Campanula latifolia, Parietaria officinalis B. erecta, Rosa villosa, Aspidium aculeatum, Agaricus rotula, Collema crispum, and Nostoc muscorum.
