The Field Work Committee met three times in 1947 
ExcriisioNs 1947 
In spite of various local difficulties the Programme was carried out 
as arranged and we are most grateful to the Leaders and all who assisted. 
Valuable work was done on the Glen Affric excursion; ecological studies 
were made and a number of Vice-County records resulted from the 
strenuous programme It is hoped to produce a detailed report when 
the results of the survey are worked out. The North of Scotland Hydro- 
Electric Board have taken a livel 3 ' interest in our work and the Leaders 
are still in correspondence with them.
