Jubilee. 

 The Committee have not found it necessary to make any further 

 report, but if the proposed Excursion to France is to be carried out, 

 they should be authorised to proceed, as soon as possible, with the 

 necessary arrangements. 



Register of Foresters. 



A Committee of the Council has had this matter under consideration, 

 and they have now reported in favour of a Register being kept 

 under the auspices of the Society. 



Exhibition at Cork. 



The Department of Agriculture for Ireland asked the Society for 

 the loan of any permanent exhibits they might have available for 

 exhibition. As the Society does not possess any such exhibits, and 

 the time was too short to permit of exhibits being specially prepared, 

 the Society could only offer to send some of their publications. 

 The offer was accepted, and the publications were forwarded. 



Mrs Wilson's Bequest. 



The attention of the Council having been directed to an announce- 

 ment that Mrs Wilson of North Kinmundy had bequeathed her 

 estate to the Trustees of the Cruickshank Botanic Garden, Aberdeen, 

 to be applied, amongst other things, to the teaching of Forestry, the 

 Secretary communicated with the Agent for the Trustees on the 

 si;bject, and was assured that, in dealing with the bequest, the 

 Trustees would keep the claims of Forestry in view. 



The Council. 

 By the passing of the New Law at last Annual Meeting, the 

 number of ordinary Councillors was increased from fifteen to twenty- 

 one, and seven Councillors now retire annually in place of five as 

 formerly. In previous years the Council meetings were usually held 

 on Wednesday afternoons, but in the beginning of last year the 

 Council decided to meet on Saturday afternoons. 



The Annual Dinner. 



Members are reminded of the Annual Dinner, which is to be held 

 in the Royal British Hotel this evening, at 6 p.m. 



The Hall. 



The use of the Hall for this Meeting has been kindly granted by 

 the Commissioners of the Board of Manufactures, and the thanks 

 of the Society are due to the Commissioners for this special favour. 



The Report was adopted.
