Honorary Members. 



It will be seen from the Note of Business before the meeting 

 that the Council recommend the election of six eminent foresters 

 and arboriculturists for this honour, and since the list was 

 printed the Council has added another name to the list — that 

 of Mr John Renwick, who has done distinguished work as an 

 arboriculturist for many years in the West of Scotland. 



The names of two enemy subjects have been removed from 

 the list of Hon. Members, in terms of the Council's recom- 

 mendation adopted at the General Meeting in Glasgow. 



Membership. 



The death of the following civilian members has been 

 recorded: — Mr Alex. Lamb, Forgandenny; Mr D. S. Carson, 

 Glasgow; Mr Wm. Milne, Foulden Newton; Mr C. F. H. 

 Bolchrow of Brackenhoe; Mr James Porteous, Coldstream; 

 Mr James Kay, Rothesay ; the Earl of Haddington ; Mr Samuel 

 Margerison ; Mr Geo. R. Fortune, Colinsburgh; Bailie Inman, 

 Edinburgh; Mr George Cowan, Edinburgh. 



Seven members have resigned and 30 have been removed 

 from the Roll owing to lapsing and other causes. On the 

 other hand, 87 new members have been elected, and the total 

 membership is now 1373, being 35 more than last year. 



Appeal for Members. 



A letter addressed particularly to large users of wood and 

 other forest products, inviting them to become members of the 

 Society, had the effect of securing a considerable number of 

 new members, particularly in the West of Scotland. 



Transactions, 



The usual half-yearly parts of the Transactions have been 

 issued. The January part was somewhat delayed in order that 

 the recommendations of the Forestry Sub-Committee of the 

 Reconstruction Committee might be included in it. The part 

 has now been issued to all members who were not in arrear 

 with their subscription at the close of the year. Any member 

 who may not have received his copy should communicate with 

 the Secretary. 



Essays. 



Two essays were received in the course of the year and 

 submitted to the Judges, who awarded a No. 2 Silver Medal 

 for the one and a No. 3 Silver Medal for the other. The 

 writer of both essays was Mr W. H. Whellens, lately of 

 Thoresby Park, Ollerton, Notts.
