REPORT OF THE ANNUAL EXCURSION. 77 



7. Report of the Annual Excursion, 1924. 



The possibility of including a visit to the British Empire 

 Exhibition at Wembley naturally suggested that the Excursion 

 this year should be held in the vicinity of London, especially as 

 the Society had contributed officially towards the financing 

 of the Scottish Forestry Section, and many members had 

 generously assisted it by gifts of money, materials, and service, 

 or by loans of exhibits. Arrangements were made accordingly, 

 and the Forty-Second Annual Excursion was held in London from 

 2ist to 27th June, with headquarters in the Imperial Hotel, 

 Russell Square. As was to be expected the party was larger 

 than usual, numbering about 130, and was very representative,
