172 FORESTRY IN SPAIN. 



the International Exhibition, placed at the disposal of a 

 Committee appointed to take measures for the establish- 

 ment of a permanent Museum of forest products, have been 

 transferred to this Museum by that Committee ; and along 

 with these, according to a report made to that Committee, 

 a large collection accumulated during many years by 

 the Scottish Arboricultural Society, all to be arranged 

 for exhibition, so soon as contemplated additions to the 

 building are made. 



There are numerous nurseries in the immediate vicinity 

 of the city, and well-kept woods and plantations of easy 

 access. There is an Arboricultural Society, a Botanical 

 Society, and a Field-Naturalist Club, to the membership 

 of all of which it is presumable students of forestry might 

 be eligible. Thither gravitated the publication of Forestry, 

 a Journal oj Forestry and Estate Management; and there 

 are resident the gentlemen with whom originated the idea, 

 and by whom were carried out the arrangements for the 

 International Forestry Exhibition, and those who, from 

 their known interest in the enterprise, have been com- 

 missioned to endeavour to secure the establishment there 

 of a National School of Forestry. And there are situated 

 the headquarters of the Highland and Agricultural Society 

 empowered to grant certificates of attainments in know- 

 ledge of forestry. 



In the University are taught the following subjects, by 

 professors whose names are annexed : Mathematics 

 Prof. Chrystal ; Natural Philosophy Dr Tait ; Chemistry
