APPENDIX G. 



Royal Scottish Arboricultural Society (Northern Branch). 



REPORT 1910. 



The Committee have the honour to submit the Report on 

 the work of the Branch for the third complete year of its exist- 

 ence. 



For various reasons it was not found possible to arrange for 

 more than one excursion during 1910. That took the form 

 of an interesting visit to Mr Edward Wiseman's Nurseries in 

 Elgin, which was attended by a fair representation of the 

 Society. 



The Committee regret to record that the interest shown by 

 forest owners in the collection formed by the Trustees of the 

 Inverness Museum is not as great as they would like it to be, 

 but they hope that the elements of unrest which were evident 

 during the year will, by their disappearance, enable Members 

 to devote more attention to the work of the Society, and result in 

 an increased interest in this department of the Branch's work. 



The Roll of Members at the end of the year was 94, four 

 Members having died, resigned, or discontinued their member- 

 ship since the formation of the Branch. 



The income of the Branch to the date of the return iS;,^5, 15s. 



From the Statement of Accounts appended to this report, it 

 will be seen that there is a sum of ^15, iis. 2d. at the credit 

 of the Branch, which sum is lying in bank in name of the 

 Treasurer. 



On behalf of the Committee of the Northern Branch of the 

 Society. 



Alex. Fraser, 



Hotiorary Secretary and Treasurer.
