EXCURSION 1906. 
The President said that the Council had received a recommen- 
dation from the Excursion Committee, to the effect that the 
district round Newcastle might be visited next year, but he invited 
suggestions from the meeting. Colonel Campbell of Achalader 
suggested that a foreign tour might be taken up next year, to 
some part of the Continent where the cutting of timber was being 
carried out. Sir Archibald Buchan-Hepburn moved that the 
matter be remitted back to the Council with powers, which was 
agreed to.
