ROYAL SCOTTISH ARBORICULTUEAL SOCIETY. 



7. Report of the Annual Excursion. 



By W. J. Denman, B.Sc. 



The forty-first Annual Excursion of the Society was held in 

 the English Lake District during the last week of June 1923. 

 The headquarters were at Keswick where the members were 

 accommodated in the Queen's and Royal Oak Hotels, and 

 they were conveyed each day by motor charabancs to the 

 various estates included in the Excursion programme. The 

 weather was exceptionally fine for this notoriously wet district, 

 and the outing proved a most interesting and enjoyable one 

 to the ninety members present, whose names are mentioned
