Since the Register was instituted in 1903, 56 names have 
been sent in. Of these, 24 have been removed from the 
Register, but not all of these have received appointments 
through the Register. There are still 32 names on the list, and 
these may be described as follows :— 
3 Overseers, 
8 Foresters or Overseers, 
15 Foresters, 
3 Foreman Foresters, 
1 Forester or Saw-miller, 
1 Assistant Forester, and 
1 Clerk of Works. 
At first it was proposed that the Register should be open to 
Members of the Society only, but latterly the Council agreed 
that it should be open to non-Members also. 
It will be seen that although a considerable number of men 
have sent in their names, only a small proportion of them have 
secured situations. The Register has been advertised in each 
number of the Zramnsactzons and in the Society’s circulars, but 
proprietors have not yet taken advantage of it to the extent 
expected. Most of the applications from proprietors have been 
for men in the lower grades, whereas most of the candidates 
for situations have been men fully qualified for more respon- 
sible positions, but for whom, unfortunately, there has been 
little demand as yet through the Register. 
The Council take this opportunity of appealing to proprietors 
to make more use of the Society’s Register when in need of 
estate-men; and they invite foresters and others desirous of 
employment or promotion to send in their names to the 
Secretary, from whom Schedules and other particulars may be 
obtained,
