as a ‘‘Cleghorn Memorial Library ” in this Museum, the expendi- 
ture of the money being entrusted to Colonel P. Dods and myself. 
The total amount available, viz., £197, 4s. 10d., was deposited 
with Mr J. A. Wenley of the Bank of Scotland, by whom the 
accounts for the books purchased were periodically paid. With 
your kind assistance and advice, the whole Fund has now been 
expended. There is no Committee of Subscribers to whom a 
report can be made of the manner in which the money has been 
spent. It occurs to me, however, that such a report may be of 
interest to the Royal Scottish Arboricultural Society, some of 
whose Members were among the chief contributors to the 
Fund. 
Full details of the titles and prices of the books purchased will 
be found in Section VIIT., pages 165-200, of the enclosed Museum 
Catalogue (recently published) of ‘‘ Books, etc., on Botany and 
Forestry, including the Cleghorn Memorial Library.” The price 
of each book is stated on the left-hand margin, and the totals are 
carried on from page to page, the final total (p. 200) amounting 
to £197, 4s. 10d., the vouchers for which are in Mr Wenley’s 
hands. The books against which no price is marked were 
presented to the Cleghorn Memorial Library.—I am, dear Sir, 
yours faithfully, 
R. Murpocu Samira, Maj.-Gen., 
Director Edinburgh Museum of Science and Art. 
Colonel F. Bariey, R.E., 
President Royal Scottish Arboricultural Society.
