THE LATE MR MALCOLM DUNN, DALKEITH. 



137 



cultural and kindred societies took the place to him of wife 

 and child. 



The position he held in the Arbovicultural Society was quite a 

 unique one, and it is not likely that it can ever be filled in quite 

 the same way again. For all that he did for the Society, for 

 what he was as a friend, for his independence and integrity of 

 character, honesty of purpose, and industry, activity, and energy 

 as a worker, his name, by those who were his contemporaries, 

 will long be held in kindly remembrance. 



It only remains to add that shortly after his death, in 

 response to an almost spontaneous expression of opinion, a 

 fund was started to promote a memorial which should in some 

 way be an acknowledgment of his services to arboriculture 

 and horticulture.
