Local Secretaries. 



Mr Edward Wiseman, Nurseryman, Elgin, has been good 

 enough to offer his services as Local Secretary for Morayshire, 

 and he will be included amongst the Local Secretaries to be 

 elected in the course of the meeting. 



Parliamentary Committee. 



A letter was received from the Royal English Arboricultural 

 Society, suggesting that the Members of Parliament who are 

 members of either Society should be asked to form themselves 

 into a Committee to protect the interests of forestry. Before 

 Parliament was dissolved some progress had been made with 

 this movement, and the Council have decided to support it in 

 the new Parliament as far as possible. They are arranging 

 that the President and the Hon. Secretary shall be members 

 of the Committee. 



Library. 



The usual list of additions to the Library will be appended to 

 the printed report. 



Exhibition. 



Members have no doubt seen from the notice calling this 

 Meeting, that the Council has decided to resume the annual 

 Exhibitions in the Highland and Agricultural Society's Show, 

 and that the Show is to be held in Edinburgh this summer. 

 The Timber Supply Department of the Board of Trade has been 

 good enough to offer to make available for this Exhibition, 

 specimens of home-grown timbers produced for national purposes 

 during the war, together with photographs of a number of woods 

 from which the timber has been cut. The Council will also 

 welcome offers of timber specimens and other timber products 

 from Timber Merchants, Owners of Woodlands, and other 

 members of the Society. 



Dunn Memorial Fund. 



No payments have been made during the year, and the 

 amount at the credit of the fund is now jQn, 17s. 9d. (See 

 Appendix A.) 



Local Branches. 



The usual reports have been received from the Aberdeen 

 Branch, and will be appended to this report. (See Appendix C.) 



Unfortunately the Northern Branch has been inactive since 

 the lamented death of Colonel Fraser, the Hon. Secretary to 

 the Branch, but it is hoped that the members in the Northern 

 District will soon be able to resume active operations.
