The Secretary reported on behalf of the Dire6lors 

 that in accordance with the resolutions of the previous 

 meeting, efforts had been made to arrange for a trial 

 shipment of furniture woods. He had written to two 

 firms in reference to such a shipment, and had also 

 enquired as to the price at which the logs could be 

 delivered in Georgetown, the lowest offer being 24 cents 

 per cubic foot. 



The President said he understood that the freight per 

 Direct Steamer would be about 32 cents per foot, and 

 that therefore if the wood realized 3s. 6d. it would pay. 

 By covering the ends with concrete, splitting might be 

 prevented. 



It was finally agreed that 20 logs of Ducaliballi, 10 of 

 Purpleheart, and 4 each of Hoobooballi and Locust be 

 procured, the Dire6lors being requested to arrange the 

 matter. 



The following report of the Committee of Correspon-
