of the Highland and Agricultural Society for renewing the vote 
of £20 for prizes for specimens of timber to be exhibited at the 
Forestry Exhibition in their Showyard at Peebles. 
Transactions. 
The Council thought it desirable to print off 1350 copies of the 
Jubilee Volume of the Zyransactions. Copies of the volume were 
presented to the Heads of the Forest School at Nancy, and the 
Heads of the Forest Departments which were visited by the 
Society in France in 1904; and a sufficient stock of this volume 
has been left in hand for future demands. It is proposed that a 
similar number of the Zransactions now in preparation should be 
ordered. The Editors report that the part is well advanced, and 
they hope to have it in the hands of the Members in the beginning 
of March. In addition to one French and two German 
periodicals which have been bought for the use of the Honorary 
Editor, the Council have also decided to take in the /ndian 
Forester. 
Forestry Exhibition. 
The Exhibition at Glasgow was not on such a large scale as 
the one held at Perth in the previous year, but it was still a very 
creditable undertaking. The Judges were—Messrs J. GRaAnrt- 
TuHomson and James Kay, Foresters, and Mr WiLLIaAmM WILson, 
Timber Merchant, Auchenleck. Their Report will be found 
printed in full in the Proceedings of the General Meeting which 
was held in the Showyard. From this Report it will be seen that 
they awarded ten prizes in cash and four Medals:—One No. 1 
Silver Medal, one No. 2 Silver Medal, and two Bronze Medals. 
Short lectures were delivered by Mr Leven on the “Creosoting 
of Timber,” and by Dr Borthwick on ‘‘The Recognition of Forest 
Trees by Seed and Seedling,” which were both well attended and 
much appreciated by those present. Mr Boyd, Pollok Estate, 
and Mr Whitton, Superintendent of City Parks, Glasgow, were 
kind enough to provide the necessary attendants. In addition to 
the Judges’ Report, a full Report of the Exhibition will be found in 
the Zransactions. 
The Directors of the Highland Society have again intimated 
that they will be pleased to give facilities for holding the 
Exhibition in their Show at Peebles, and they have again voted 
a sum of £20 for prizes for Timber Exhibits. The Schedules 
have been revised and issued to all the Members. The Com- 
mittee this year are—JOHN ANNAND, Overseer, Haystoun Estate, 
Woodbine Cottage, Peebles; CHARLES BUCHANAN, Overseer, 
Penicuik ; Apam Spiers, Timber Merchant, Warriston Saw- 
mills, Edinburgh; R. V. MaTHer, Nurseryman, Kelso; J. W.
