ARRANGEMENTS FOR Excursion IN 1893. 
Mr Dunn, Dalkeith, said a number of places had been mentioned 
to the Council for the Excursion of 1893. It had been suggested, 
for example, that the Excursion should be to the New Forest, 
Hants, and that Her Majesty might be asked graciously to grant 
them permission to inspect Windsor Forest. That at present was 
a very popular idea. It had also been mooted that they might 
pay a visit to Ireland; and there were yet many parts of Scotland 
to explore—in Lanarkshire, Ayrshire, Stirlingshire, Aberdeenshire, 
and Strathspey. He asked a remit, as usual, to the Council to 
make the arrangements. After a short discussion the suggestions 
were approved, and the remit agreed to. 
A hearty vote of thanks to the President for occupying the 
chair brought the meeting to a close. 
In Councit. 
Members are invited to read short practical papers on any 
subject connected with Forestry at the Annual General Meeting. 
Those who intend to do so are requested to intimate, in writing, 
the Title of their subject to the Secretary, on or before the 10th of 
June 1893; stating the time they may require for reading the 
pope.
