the sap attracts the insect feeder, and (as in other cases) all 

 possible care to avoid what would prolong this state, or cause 

 a sickly growth, should be given ; and when a large extent 

 of ground is covered with Pine plantations, a very strict super- 

 vision of the method in which the labourers put in the young 

 trees could not fail to do much good. 



Note. — In the above paper, as well as in some others (more 

 especially some of those bearing on forest management) I was 

 favoured originally with much information by Mr. Malcolm 

 Dunn, the chief superintendent of the Duke of Buccleugh's 

 gardens at Dalkeith, and by other chief Scottish foresters and 

 gardeners. I acknowledged these contributions in the 1st 

 edition of my Manual by appending initials, and giving names 

 in full in the List of Contributors appended to the vol. ; and 

 in this 2nd edition I have preserved the same arrangement, 

 which thus distinguishes the contributions of information to 

 the 1st from those to the 2nd edition, which are for the most 

 part acknowledged together with the note given. — Ed.
