VIII. On the Genus Pissodes and its Importance in Forestry. 
(Motto, ‘“ Attack in the beginning.”) By R. Stewart 
MacDovueauu, M.A., B.Sc., Royal Botanic Garden, 
Edinburgh. 
This is a very useful contribution to the life-history of a genus 
of insects that has been altogether neglected in this country in 
the past. Award, No. 1 Sitver MEDAL. 
IX. On Forest Valuations. (Motto, “Profit.”) By ANDREW 
SLATER, Haystoun, Peebles. 
A useful though by no means exhaustive contribution to our 
stock of knowledge of Forest valuations. It is specially welcome 
begause it deals with a subject that is but little understood in 
this country. Award, No. 2 Sirver MEDAL. 
X. On the Nature and Management of Live Fences. (Motto, 
**Cratvegi.”) By Francis Berry, Forester, Colquoich, 
Inverkindie, Aberdeenshire. 
This paper is discursive without being exhaustive. Award, 
Bronze MEDAL. 
XI. On a French Arboricultural Society. (Motto, ‘Scotland 
for Ever.”) By Grorce Capeu. (late H.M. Indian 
Forest Department). 
An interesting paper, though involving no great amount of 
labour. Award, No. 2 Sitver MEDAL. 
Crass I. 
In Class II., for Assistant Foresters only, the Judges regret 
that only two papers were sent in, both being on subjects 
prescribed in the Syllabus. 
I. On the Rearing of Natural and Artificial Undercover for 
Game. (Motto, “Straight Powder.”) By ALEXANDER 
M‘Rar, Assistant Forester, Peplow Hall, Market 
Drayton, Salop. 
This paper deals with the subject of game cover in a very 
thorough and practical manner, and is worthy of a No. 2 Sitver 
MEDAL.
