for Senior Memhcrship. These names are all being re-considered 

 with the probability that some of them at least will be elected to 

 Senior Membership. They are, however, being regarded as elected to 

 Membership at once in order to avoid any dolay in ctTecting their 

 affiliation with the Society. 



The election of our first Corresponding Members, one from France 

 and one from India, under the recently adopted amendment to the 

 constitution providing for this grade of membership, is of considerable 

 interest. The Council feels that the number of Corresponding Mem- 

 bcr> should be kept comparatively small and should be limited to those 

 who are really interested in the Society and its activities, and will 

 therefore add to its strength. At the same time it believes that it 

 would be desirable to keep the Society more closely in touch with for- 

 estry in other parts of the world by having at least one or two Corre- 

 sponding Members in countries in whose activities we are interested. A 

 list of candidates which will be published in the near future will contain 

 the name of a Norwegian forester, and it is suggested that members 

 consider foresters of other countries who might well be proposed for 

 this grade.
