Notice of Motion. 



Mr \Vm. Gilchrist, Mount Melville, gave notice of the 

 following motion : — " That the annual business meeting of 

 the Society extend over two days, the second day to take the 

 form of a conference for the discussion by members of subjects 

 relating to arboriculture." 



Address by Mr John F. Annand. 



Mr John F. Annand, F.H.A.S., Lecturer in Forestry, 

 Armstrong College, Ne\vcastle-on-Tyne, and Acting Agent and 

 Manager of the Crown Woods of Chopwell in the County of 

 Durham, then gave his address on "Some Uses of Demonstra- 

 tion Forests in Forestry Education," which was freely illustrated 

 with lantern views. 



The Chairman thanked Mr Annand for his interesting and 

 instructive address. He wished a larger number of members 

 had remained to hear Mr Annand's lecture, but, as many of them 

 knew, another meeting at which several of their members had to 

 attend was taking place in Edinburgh that afternoon. 



Vote of Thanks to Chairman. 



Sir Andrew Agnew, in moving a vote of thanks to the 

 Chairman, said that if the work of the Development Commission 

 in regard to forestry were successful, it would he thought be 

 largely due to Sir John Stirling-Maxwell. 



The Chairman said he felt very strongly that their annual 

 meetings should have a larger representation of members 

 at them. While one could not hope to have a full attendance, 

 seeing the members were drawn from a very wide and extended 

 area, still they might have a larger attendance than they 

 had now.
