PROCEEDINGS OF THE BERWICKSHIRE NATURALISTS' CLUB. Address delivered at Berwick, on the 27th of September, 1861. By D.

The practice of this annual address, appears to me to have many advantages. To those members who attended the meetings, it in some degree renews the enjoyment and instruction which the meetings had afforded. To those members who were absent, it shows in what way our club is carrying out its objects, and on what grounds it claims a continuance of their support. To the president himself, it B.N.C.-VOL. IV.
