Sir John Macpherson Grant, Bart, of Ballindalloch, 185 1. The Trans- 

 actions for October 1849 (the complete volume being published in 185 1) 

 contains an elaborate and valuable paper on the improvement of the farm of 

 Marypark by the late Sir John Macpherson Grant of Ballradalloch, Bart., 

 to whom the Society awarded its Gold MedaL The improvements were 

 commeijced by Sir John's father (the late Sir George) in 1843 ; and the report, 

 which is accompanied by plans of the farm, with all the drains carefully marked, 

 and of the steading of offices which were erected, contains a supplementary 

 statement, showing the expense and return of each field of Marypark for five 

 years. In concluding his report. Sir John remarks : ' Besides the remunerative 

 retiim from this improvement, it has already produced, and is daily bringing, 

 an indirect benefit of no small amount to the estate of Balhndalloch, and to the 

 district in which it is situated, by the spirit of agricultural enterprise it has 

 engendered among the tenantry, who are now, both lai^ and small, most 

 eagerly employed in adding to the productive powers of their farms ; and I 

 hope a son may be pardoned for venturing to affirm that a more honourable 

 monument could not have been raised to the revered memory of his father than 

 that which Sir George Macpherson Grant has himself erected in his improve- 

 ment of the beautiful farm of Marypark. '
