was printed in 1907 for the use of students. Visits for class instruc- 

 tion are also made to the estate nurseries and trade nurseries in the 

 immediate neighbourhood; and periodical excursions are made to 

 Gloucestershire forest areas, and in the Summer Vacation (if so de- 

 sired) to Continental forests with the Professor of Forestry." 



University of Edinburgh. " The first course of lectures in Fo- 

 restry in this University was delivered during the Winter Session 

 of 1888-89, and the course has been conducted annually since 

 that year. The Degree of B. Sc. in Forestry has recently been 

 instituted with special courses in Advanced Forestry, Forest Botany, 

 Forest Entomology, Chemistry of Forest Soils, and Forest Eng- 

 ineering with Drawing and Surveying. The Degree Course extends 

 over three academic years, of which two and one-third are spent 

 in residence. In addition, there is a First Course in Forestry 

 which occupies a single Winter Session and forms part of the 

 course for the Degree of B. Sc. in Agriculture. 



The class-fee for the First Course of Forestry is 3 35. (79 frcs.) and 

 that for the Advanced Course of Forestry is 2 2s. (53 frcs.). The 

 fees for the other Degree Courses amount to about 47 (1186 francs). 

 The Degree Examination fees are 6 165. 6d. and the total, including 

 the annual Matriculation fee of i is. is thus about 60 (1515 francs). 

 The cost of board and lodging in one of the Halls connected with 

 the University for each academic year of 30 weeks ranges between 

 about 40 and 50, which for two and one-third years of residence 

 comes to from about 90 to about 120 (from 2278 francs to 3030 

 francs). The total estimated expenditure by a Degree student for 

 board and lodging, and University fees, with excursions and the prac- 

 tical course on the Continent, is about 300 (7575 francs) or 100 

 a year (2525 francs). 



During the 21 years of the existence of the Forestry Depart- 

 ment, 201 students have passed through the First Course of Fo- 

 restry, and during 14 years, from 1895-96 to 1908-909, 51 Agri- 

 cultural students have passed in Forestry for the Degree in Agri- 

 culture. The University has no woods under its control, but 

 practical instruction is given by means of visits paid to privately- 

 owned woods in the neighbourhood. " 



" In connection with Advanced Course of Forestry, more 

 extensive excursions are prescribed; and Degree students are re- 

 quired to undergo a training of six months in Continental forests. "
