CoAZ, Inspector-General of Forests for Switzerland, for presenting 

 to the Library eleven volumes on Forestry, as detailed in the 

 usual List appended. 



Editorship. 



Dr BoRTHWicK has acted as Hon. Editor during the year 

 with much acceptance. He was able to arrange with Dr 

 Marion L Newbigin — who assisted Colonel Bailey — to continue 

 to act in that capacity, and he also secured the continued 

 co-operation of i\Ir A. G. Hobart Hampden and Mr Bert 

 Ribbentrop in connection with the preparation of the French 

 and German notes respectively. 



Transactions. 



There are still a number of members who unfortunately fail 

 to obtain full advantage of the Tra?isactions by omitting to 

 forward their subscriptions at the proper time. It would be a 

 great advantage to the Society if this list could be reduced. 



It is proposed that the detailed Index to the Transacfio?is 

 issued during the past sixty years should be published in the 

 course of the current year. 



Local Branches. 



The reports from the Aberdeen and Northern Branches will 

 be submitted in the course of the meeting. 



Exhibition at Paisley. 



The annual Exhibition of Forestry within the Highland 

 Society's Showyard was held at Paisley last year. The local 

 members of Committee, who contributed largely to the success 

 of the Exhibition, were Messrs G. P. Gordon, Whitton, 

 Singer, Farquharson, J. Forbes, Young and Bryden, and they 

 were very efficiently helped by Mr Samuel Houston, who was 

 very kindly lent as Attendant by the Glasgow Corporation. 

 It will be remembered that Mr Houston was in charge of the 

 Society's Forestry Section at the recent National Exhibition in 

 Glasgow, a duty which he carried out to the entire satisfaction 

 of the Exhibition Committee. The catalogue contained 92 

 entries in all — 62 of these being articles in competition and 

 30 articles for exhibition only. An exhibit which attracted 

 much attention was that provided by the Landowners' Co- 

 operative Forestry. Society of home and foreign manufactured 

 timber with relative prices. The report of the Exhibition, 

 written by Mr G. P. Gordon, will be found on page 97 of the 

 January part of the Transactions. The Judges were Air John 

 Boyd, Inverliever, Mr John M'Gregor, Ayr, and Mr G. P.
