146 TRANSACTIONS OF ROYAL SCOTTISH ARBORICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



XVIII. The Tioenty-fifth Annual Excursion — Sweden, \%th July 

 to 3rd August 1902. 



The Society is indebted to the Foi-eign Office for obtaining 

 from the Swedish Government the programme briefly outlined 

 below; and to Count Wachmeister, Director-Geaeral of the Royal 

 Domains, Sweden, for kindly appointing Mr Elis Nilson, of the 

 State Forest Service, as guide and interpreter to the party, and 

 for at the same time extending to the Society a very hearty 

 welcome to Sweden. 



The number of gentlemen who took part in the visit to Sweden 

 was almost equal to the average that usually attends home 

 excui'sions. On the previous occasion when the Society ventured 

 abroad, viz., to North Germany, in 1895, the number of the party 

 slightly exceeded forty ; but on this occasion considerably over 

 seventy members were present. Tne following is a list of the
