The Thirtieth Annual Conference of the Society was held at 
Girvaii on the 19th September 1905 and following days. The 
place of meeting was the King’s Arms Hotel. The weather on 
the whole was good, and fungi were tolerably abundant. Eleven 
members in all took part in the foray, and the pleasure of the 
meeting was enhanced by the beauty of the scenery and by the 
courtesy shown to the Society by the landlords of the different 
estates visited, and their representatives who acted as guides. To 
these the Society desires to express its warm thanks. 
On Tuesday, September 19th, the Society spent the forenoon 
on the fine estate of Kilkerran. Unfortunately, rain came on 
about two o’clock, and operations had to be suspended for the 
day. Several good fungi, however, were obtained, in addition to 
a great variety of the commoner kinds. 
Next day the excursion was to Pinmore in the Stinchar 
Valley, the property of Captain F. B. M‘Connel. The day was 
line, and every facility was given to the Society in exploring the 
grounds and woods. Several interesting plants were found. 
In the evening the business meeting of the Society was held, 
after dinner. The Conference for 1906 was appointed to be held 
at Pitlochry on the 25th of September and following days. Mr. 
Angus Grant, Drumnadrochit, Inverness-shire, was elected 
President for the year, and Miss M. L. Miles, Vice-President;
