TX. On our Timber Supplies from Abroad. By A. T. 
Wiuiamson, 7 Kew Terrace, Edinburgh. 
This subject has been treated by the writer in an interesting 
and intelligent manner, and if his figures are correct, we consider 
it a most useful paper. We recommend the award of a No. 1 
Srttver MepDAL. 
X. An Invention for drawing together Broken Wires in 
Fences. By Anruony Simpson, Assistant Forester, 
Dunrobin, Golspie. 
The reporter claims to be the sole inventor of this instrument. 
While we have no reason to doubt this statement, other machines 
of a somewhat similar nature have been in use for a considerable 
time. To the inventor a Bronzz MEDAL is recommended.

I. On the Renovation of Overgrown Shrubberies, By RosBert 
W. Mitnz, Assistant Forester, Lynedoch, Perthshire. 
This essay is spoilt by its inordinate length, and the indis- 
criminate catalogue of plants it contains, many of which are unfit 
for shrubberies in this country. The writer seems to have a good 
knowledge of the names of plants, but little experience as to where 
or how they should be allocated. He is deserving of encourage- 
ment, but we regret that we can only recommend a Bronze MEDAL 
II. On the Management of a Home Nursery. By Joun 
Scrimceour, Assistant Forester, Lynedoch, Perth.

we recommend the award of the No. 2 Sirver MEDAL, 
III. On the Formation and Management of Live Fences. By 
A. Simpson, Assistant Forester, Dunrobin, Golspie. 
The writer of this paper has dealt in a simple way with his 
subject, and no exception can be taken to the details he gives, 
provided they are adapted to local circumstances, A Bronze 
MEDAL is recommended.
