been removed by death, and it is with feelings of deep regret 

 that the Committee have to record the death of Lieut. - 

 Colonel F. N. Innes of Learney, one of the Vice-Presidents, 

 whose great interest in the affairs of the Branch and Forestry 

 in general will not soon be forgotten. Mr Archibald 

 Lockhart, Huntly, has also passed away, and those Members 

 who took part in the Excursion to Huntly last year, must 

 have many happy recollections of his kindness when visiting 

 his firm's saw-mills. Although not so well known to some of 

 the Members, but still a prominent member of his profession 

 in Aberdeen, the name of Mr George Philip, superintendent of 

 Stewart Park, must be added to the death roll of the Branch ; 

 and only this week the newspapers have recorded the death 

 of Sir George Macpherson Grant, Bart, of Ballindalloch. 



The financial statement of the Branch shows an income 

 of ^12, los. gd., including the grant of j^^ from the parent 

 Society, and an expenditure of ;£^, 12s. yd., leaving a credit 

 balance of ;£"], 14s. 2d. on the General Account, and a balance 

 of 4d. at the credit of the Excursion to Durris, which, with a 

 balance of ;{^j, 4s. at the credit of the Excursion Fund, makes 

 the total credit balance of the Branch ^8, i8s. 6d., and this 

 sum is placed with the Aberdeen Savings Bank.
