 imported bulbs, which ought to be examined for the mite. The 

 formula for fumigation on this larger scale is one pint of 

 bisulphide of carbon to 1,000 cubic feet of space. Bisulphide of 

 carbon fumes are very poisonous, and should not be breathed, 

 and no naked light (the operator, for example, should not be 

 smoking) must be brought near them. 



An account of the position of forestry education in Great 

 Britain was given in this Journal for April, 1904, and it was 

 stated that the Treasury had made a grant 



the Agricultural Departments of the University College of 

 North Wales, Bangor, and of the Durham College of Science, 

 Newcastle-on-Tyne. 



The University College of North Wales has appointed as 

 Lecturer in Forestry, Mr. Fraser Story, formerly Lecturer in 

 Forestry at the Edinburgh and East of Scotland Technical 

 College, and Examiner in Forestry to the University of Edin- 

 burgh. Two courses of lectures have been arranged, (1) a short 

 course of 20 lectures for students for the Agricultural Diploma, 

 and (2) a course of 90 lectures for Certificates in Forestry. The 

 plantations of the Liverpool Corporation at Vyrnwy are avail- 

 able for demonstration purposes, as well as the plantations on 

 the College Farm and elsewhere. The College is also in a 

 position, through the appointment of Mr. Story, to offer to 

 owners of woods skilled advice on all matters relating to the 

 foundation, regeneration, tending and management of wood- 

 lands. 



The Durham College of Science has appointed Mr. A. C. 

 Forbes, F.H.A.S., as Lecturer in Forestry, and for the purpose 

 of practical work the experimental plantations and the tree 

 nurseries at Cockle Park are available, while various neighbour- 

 ing landowners have placed representative and appropriate 

 woodlands at the disposal of the College for demonstrations to 

 students. 



The Council of the Surveyors' Institute have approved a
