The new publication would run to 256 pages, which would 

 afford 220 pages for other than business matters. The gross 

 cost would probably be £82, and if £20 be allowed for advertise- 

 ments, the nett cost would be £62, or some £18 more than at 

 present. This cost might perhaps be reduced by increased 

 advertising. 



The journal would have to be conducted by an honorary 

 edibor, who might be aided by an honorary assistant-editor. 



It was mentioned that Colonel Bailey had consented to act as 

 editor, for a time, at least, in the event of the proposal being 

 carried out. Professor SoMERVILLE supported the proposal, and 

 suggested that contributors should be paid. 



The matter was remitted to the Council for farther con- 

 sideration. 



The lath Mr Malcolm Dunn. 



At the request of the President, the Secretary read the follow- 

 ing Resolution, which had been sent by the Council to the repre- 

 sentatives of the late Mr Dunn: — "The Council of the Royal 

 Scottish Arboricultura] Society desire to record their deep sense of 

 the irreparable loss which the Society has sustained in the death 

 of Mr Malcolm Dunn, one of its Honorary Members. For the 

 last twenty-four years he has devoted himself with characteristic 

 energy to the welfare of the Society, and has taken an active 

 part in all its schemes and undertakings, especially in those for 

 the promotion of professional education by means ol lectures and 

 excursions. A man of many interests, whose sagacious advice 

 was sought in all departments with which he associated himself, 

 he always found time to advance the work of the Society, and 

 to carry through any project regarding the utility of which he 

 had become convinced. The Council feel that the success which 

 has attended the Society's efforts has been in large measure due 

 to Mr Dunn's zeal and devotion, and to the influence he exerted 

 among all classes of its Members. It is with sincere sorrow that 

 they now record the loss of so highly valued a colleague, in whom 

 they recognised not only a trustworthy counsellor but a faithful 

 friend. 



" They request the Secretary to send a copy of this Resolution 

 to Mr Dunn's family, and at the same time to express deep 

 sympathy in their bereavement."
