the Tours during the next few years to other parts of the Continent. 

 They venture to express the hope that Landowners may be induced 

 to afford faciUties to their Foresters for participation in these Tours, 

 the instructive nature of which render^ them well worth the 

 moderate expenditure of time and money that they involve. 



Exhibitions. 



A Forestry Exhibition is annually organised in connection with 

 the Highland and Agricultural Society's Show, in which are exhibited 

 specim°ens illustrating the rate of growth of trees, different kinds of 

 wood, pit-wood and railway timber, insect pests and samples of the 

 damage done by them, tools and implements, manufactured articles 

 peculiar to the district where the Exhibition is held, and other 

 objects of interest relating to Forestry. Prizes and Medals are also 

 offered for Special Exhibits. In addition to the Annual Exhibition 

 before referred to, a large and important Forestry Section organised 

 by this Society was included in the Scottish National Exhibition 

 which was held in Edinburgh in 1908, and a similar Section is 

 included in the Scottish Exhibition of National History, Art, and 

 Industry, which is being held in Glasgow this summer. 

 The Society's Transactions. 

 The Transactmis of the Society, which extend to twenty-four 

 volumes, are now published half-yearly in January and July, and are 

 issued gratis to Members. A large number of the Prize Essays and 

 other valuable Papers, and reports of the Annual Excursions, have 

 appeared in them, and have thus become available to Students as 

 well as to those actively engaged in the Profession of Forestry.
