 Board of Agriculture. London, March, 1910, vol. XVI, n. 12, 

 p. 961). 



"At the present time there exist the following centres; The 

 University of Oxford, to which the Indian School of Forestry has 

 been transferred : the Forest of Dean, where a School of Forestry 

 has been established by the Commissioners of His Majesty's Woods 

 and Forests; and eight other institutions, at each of which syste- 

 matic courses of study in Forestry are provided, viz., the University 

 College of North Wales, Bangor; Armstrong College, Newcastle- 

 upon-Tyne; the University of Cambridge; and the Royal Agricul- 

 tural College, Cirencester ; the University of Edinburgh ; the Glasgow 

 and West of Scotland Agricultural College ; the Edinburgh and East 

 of Scotland College of Agriculture ; and the Aberdeen and North 

 of Scotland College of Agriculture. 



In addition, mention should be made of the Inverliever Estate, 

 in Argyllshire, which has been purchased by the Commissioners 

 of His Majesty's Woods and Forests for the purpose of carrying 

 out an experiment in afforestation on scientific and economic lines, 

 and of the Alice Holt Woods, which are now being worked as a 

 demonstration area for the practical study of Forestry. In certain 

 Agricultural Colleges other than those mentioned, lectures of Fo- 

 restry are delivered, but instruction in this subject has not been 

 developed sufficiently at these institutions to require specific men- 

 tion here. 



The increase in the facilities for instruction in Forestry during 

 the past seven years has been brought about in the first place by 

 the attention drawn to the subject by the Report of the Com- 

 mittee ; secondly, by the action of the Commissioners of His Ma- 

 jesty's Woods and Forests in certain areas of land belonging to 

 the Crown: and thirdly, by the financial assistance given by the 

 Board of Agriculture and Fisheries to the University College at 

 Bangor, to Armstrong College, and to the University of Cambridge, 

 to enable these institutions to appoint lecturers in Forestry. 



The agricultural colleges in Scotland are in receipt of grants in 

 respect of the whole of their work from the Scotch Education De- 

 partment while for the past two years the Royal Agricultural Col- 

 lege has been similarly aided by the Board of Education. "
