of condolence was sent to his family, and a wreath was forwarded 

 to be laid on his grave. 



At the General Meeting in July, it was decided that next 

 Excursion should be confined to the Edinburgh district, in view 

 of the fact that the Scottish National Exhibition is to be held 

 in Edinburgh this year. No arrangements have yet been made 

 as to the estates to be visited, but an invitation has been 

 received from Messrs Dickson & Co. to visit their nurseries 

 at Craigmillar. A discussion took place with regard to the 

 date usually fixed for the Excursion, and it was decided that 

 Members should send their suggestions on the subject to the 

 Secretary. 



Scottish National Exhibition. 



The Council has arranged that the Society shall have an 

 exhibit of Forestry in this Exhibition, which is to be held in 

 Saughton Park, Edinburgh, from May to October. A suitable 

 space in the North Garden has been allotted to the Society 

 free of charge. On part of it a small pavilion will be erected 

 to receive such of the exhibits as require to be under cover, 

 and the remainder of the space will be available for outside 

 exhibits. An invitation was sent to the Members on 22nd June 

 last asking offers of exhibits, and this invitation has been 

 repeated in the circular calling this Meeting. A number of 

 offers have already been received by the Committee, and they 

 hope that Members will now heartily respond to their appeal. 

 Entry forms may be obtained at this meeting, or on applica- 

 tion to the Secretary. 



The Society's Flag. 



In connection with the Annual Exhibition, the Council 

 considered it advisable that a flag should be secured for the 

 Society. Designs were submitted by Mr William Calder, Leith, 

 and a red flag with the Society's emblem in the centre was 

 ultimately fixed on, and was used at the Edinburgh Exhibition 

 for the first time. It was also used at the Headquarters in 

 Elgin during the Society's Excursion. 



Library and Museimi. 



A list of additions to the Library since last Annual Meeting 

 is appended to this Report. (See Appendix H.)
