 wood, pit-wood and railway timber, insect pests and samples of the 

 damage done by them, tools and implements, manufactured articles 

 peculiar to the district where the Exhibition is held, and other 

 objects of interest relating to Forestry. Prizes and Medals are also

 which was held in Edinburgh in 1908.

 volumes, are now published half-yearly in January and July, and are

 appeared in them, and have thus become available to Students as 

 well as to those actively engaged in the Profession of Forestry.
