Dr BoRTHWicK, on behalf of Mr Macdonald and himself, said 

 that eighteen Estates were entered in the Competition, and 

 that the subjects which they had to examine embraced eight 

 Nurseries and eighteen Plantations. As the area was a fairly 

 large one, the work of judging had taken considerable time and 

 involved considerable expense. He made various suggestions 

 as to how the conditions of the Competition might be 

 improved for the future. 



The President thanked Dr Borthwick and Mr Macdonald 

 for the work they had done, and for the suggestions they had 

 been good enough to submit, which, no doubt, they would 

 embody in their official report for the Transactions, and so make 

 them available in connection with the revision of the regulations 

 for next Competition.
