INTERNATIONAL FORESTRY EXHIBITION. Oil 
placed their exhibits in charge of the Council. These comprised 
a large and much varied assortment of valuable and useful articles, 
and specimens of the wood of every kind of forest tree grown in 
Britain, besides a host of miscellaneous exhibits of a rare or 
curious nature, which, together with the Society’s own collections 
of books, plans, illustrations, instruments, tools, cones, seeds, 
wood specimens, and other articles, completely filled the Court, 
and made an effective and most interesting display. 
At the entrance to the Court the Council had an office fitted 
up, in which the Secretary and his assistant attended to the © 
Society’s business during the whole time the Exhibition was 
open. This arrangement was found a great convenience to the 
members of the Society when visiting the Exhibition, as they 
could always get whatever information they required from Mr 
M‘Laren, the Secretary, or his assistant, Mr Robert Forbes. To 
them was due the neatness, cleanness, and good order which pre- 
vailed in the Court, and their civility and readiness to give 
information about the exhibits in their charge was justly appre- 
ciated by exhibitors and visitors. 
The following detailed list of the Collections exhibited in the 
Scottish Arboricultural Society's Court has been compiled by 
the Secretary from the official lists and other materials col- 
lected by him during the course of the Exhibition. The list is 
arranged in alphabetical order so as to make it useful as a 
reference :—
