APPENDIX F. 



Royal Scottish Arboricultural Society (Northern Branch). 



REPORT 1921. 



No meeting of this Society was held between January 19 14 

 and 1921, but steps were taken in the course of 1921 to have 

 the Branch revived, by issuing circular letters to the various 

 parties interested in forestry in the North. About seventy 

 members intimated their intention to join the Branch, and 

 a General Meeting was held when the Branch was reconstituted. 

 At the meeting the following Office-Bearers were appointed : — 



President. 

 Col. Hugh Rose, C.M.G., etc., of Kilravock. 



Vice-Presidents. 



Wm. Mackay, Esq., LL.D. 



Wm. Fenwick, Esq., Earlsmills, Forres. 



Members of Council. 



Major Fraser-Tytler of Aldourie, D.S.O. 



Captain Robinson. Forestry Commission. 



William Gossip, Inverness. 



Mr Peaks, Darnaway. 



Mr Macintyre, Erchless. 



Mr Joseph Cook, Timber Merchant, Inverness. 



Mr Anderson, Beaufort. 



The meeting, which was a very successful one, was followed 

 by a very pleasant excursion to Beaufort, when the party was 

 shown over the Beaufort Woods by Lord Lovat, and afterwards 

 entertained to tea. 



A Statement of Accounts is annexed showing a sum of 

 ;^i4, 5s. 8|d. at the credit of the Branch. 



It was resolved not to charge a subscription for the year 192 1, 



but to consider what the annual subscription should be at the 



first General Meeting in 1922. 



David Ross, 



Secretary.
