30 TRANSACTIONS OF ROYAL SCOTTISH ARBORICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



Scots pine before the renewal of seed trees. This was on 

 heather ground grazed by sheep at Boat of Garten. Others 

 showed a dense crop of natural larch on Tominourd Hill, and 

 a natural mixture of Scots pine and larch on the same hill. 

 The larch regenerated first, then the Scots pine filled in the 

 gaps naturally. 



Another set showed the comparative growth of various species 

 on the Glengarry Estate, Inverness-shire. They were of test 

 plantations, planted after the Glen Mhor Survey, and therefore 

 of special interest to members of the Society. The age of the 

 plantations were from 8 to 10 years, and the species were larch, 

 Corsican pine, Douglas fir, and Sitka spruce. 



4. Photographs illustrating Timber Operations. 



In this group were a series of photographs illustrating the 

 work of the Canadian and Newfoundland Forestry Corps in this 

 country. The Canadian Forestry Corps photographs included a 

 view of the camp at Nethy Bridge ; a log bridge at Birkenside, 

 Jedburgh ; a light railway through the Sluggan Pass, Inverness- 

 shire ; and a cableway over the Spey at Knockando. The 

 Newfoundland set included views of the camp at Craigvinean, 

 Dunkeld, and of the timber chute there. 



5. General. 



There were very interesting photographs of young Douglas 

 fir at Ringwood, Murthly, Perthshire, and old Douglas fir also at 

 Murthly. Two photographs were exhibited showing the growth 

 of Sitka spruce, one at Craigo, Forfarshire, and the other in 

 British Columbia. 



The great interest shown in this section clearly showed the 

 possibilities which systematic photography has in forestry 

 education. H. M. Steven.
