FORESTRY EXHIBITION AT PERTH. 67 



represented by eight large photographs of coniferous and other 

 trees from Powerscourt, Wicklow. Injurious insects, animals, 

 birds, and fungi were represented by a good collection from 

 Murthly, and from the same estate there were exhibited a panel- 

 door, made from Scots pine, and a water-gate. A number of 

 other exhibits were placed, consisting of forest implements and 

 tools, specimens of foreign woods, etc., so that altogether the 

 Exhibition was one of great excellence, and the largest of the 

 kind which the Society has yet held, the timber exhibits being 

 especially noteworthy as showing the possibilities which Britain 

 holds out as a timber-producing country. 



Messrs John Boyd, forester, Pollok Estate, PoUokshaws; Colin 

 Chisholm, forester, Lundin and Montrave Estates, Leven; and 

 Adam Spiers, Warriston Saw-mills, Edinburgh, acted as judges: 

 and the Exhibition arrangements were in the hands of the Local 

 Committee, consisting of Messrs Alexander Pitcaithley, forester, 

 Scone, Perth ; James Forgan, forester, Bonskeid, Pitlochry ; 

 and Alexander Murray, forester, Murthly, Perth.
