WEIGHT OF TIMBER. 
The Lecturer on Forestry at the University of Edinburgh 
would be greatly obliged for reliable figures indicating the 
weight per cubic foot of unseasoned logs of various species. 
It should, in all cases, be stated whether the logs were weighed 
with or without the bark. 
THE RoyaL ENGLISH ARBORICULTURAL SOCIETY. 
Since the issue of the last volume of the Zransactions, His 
Majesty the King has been graciously pleased to command that 
in future the English Arboricultural Society shall be known as 
the “Royal” English Arboricultural Society, and the members 
of the Scottish Society offer their hearty congratulations to the 
members of the English Society on the bestowal of this mark of 
Royal favour. 
APPOINTMENT TO FORESTRY LECTURESHIP. 
The appointment of Mr W. F. A. Hudson, M.A., to the 
Lectureship in Forestry at the West of Scotland Agricultural 
College, Glasgow, was inadvertently omitted in the list which 
appeared in the Zransactions for 1904 (Vol. XVIII. p. 234).
