dre! Muell.-Arg., M. Zenker?, Pax, and M. Pazii, Prain. From 
the three first it is at once readily distinguished by its large stipules 
which, while nearly as long as those of M. Pazii, are narrower, 
more rigid and more persistent. From all the four species named, 
M. Beillei can be at once distinguished by its very deeply laciniate 
* male bracts. 
XXXIV—FORESTRY IN THE HIGHLANDS OF 
SCOTLAND. 
W. DALLIMORE. 
During the last week of June and the first few days of July, 
advantage was taken of the annual excursion arranged by the 
Executive Council = the Royal Scottish Arboricultural Society, to 
visit several estates in the Fort William district of Scotland, where 
afforestation is being conducted on a somewhat extensive scale.
