FoKESTRY Museum : Murthly Estate. 



This museum (see figure), which has now been in existence 

 for about five years, is intended for the exhibition of interesting 

 objects connected with forestry, and consists of a general col- 

 lection, as complete as possible, of specimens of the natural 

 products on the estates. 



The collection at present consists of: 



(i) Specimens of over fifty varieties of the timber of coniferous 

 and of broad-leaved trees, arranged to show longitudinal and 

 transverse sections and bark, each labelled with its common and 

 its scientific name. 



(2) A collection of fungi, larvae, insects and scale, injurious 

 to forest trees, named and arranged for easy inspection, 

 together with examples of many of the fungoid diseases affect- 

 ing the foliage of broad-leaved trees.
