ERSKINE, 25th February, 1893.—Through the kindness of Lord 
Blantyre, permission to visit his fine residential estate of Erskine 
_ was courteously granted to the Society. The party consisted of 
_ ten, three of whom were provided with photographic apparatus. 
The day was cold, but calm and pleasant, and a haze slightly 
_ obscured the view of the hills on the opposite side of the Clyde, 
but did not appreciably interfere with the photographing of the 
trees. 
Among the trees measured were the following :— 
(1) Beech (Fagus sylvatica), west of mansion-house; measurement 
of narrowest circumference at average height of 3 ft., 11 ft.
