ELECTION OF AN HonorRARY MEMBER. 
Professor SOMERVILLE moved that Mr Matcotm Dunn, The 
Palace Gardens, Dalkeith, be elected an Honorary Member of the 
Society. The Professor said that in conferring this honour on 
Mr Duny, the Society would mark its sense of the extraordinary 
value of his services to the cause of Arboriculture, Horticulture, and 
Forestry, not only in Scotland, but in Great Britain and Ireland, 
and would at the same time give expression to the feelings of 
every Member that no one had done more to advance the best 
interests of the Royal Scottish Arboricultural Society than Mr 
Dunn. Colonel Batiey seconded the motion, which was adopted 
unanimously. 
Mr Duny, who was present, cordially expressed his thanks to 
the Society for the honour it had conferred on him, and sincerely 
wished he might be able to do more in the future to merit the 
high distinction.
