Abstract
IN last week's NATURE (p. 222) we briefly noticed the remarks of the Marquess of Lothian in declaring the International Forestry Exhibition at Edinburgh open. For several reasons it has not been in the power of some foreign Governments to be represented at the Exhibition. And in more than one case, notably that of Chili, an unforeseen accident occurred to prevent others who intended to be present. Where direct participation, in so far as exhibits are concerned, has been impossible, official maps and publications bearing on the forest service or literature of the country have been forwarded, or a representative has been commissioned officially to attend, or the efforts of private individuals have been exerted to supply the omission. The Exhibition has thus been inaugurated by the co-operation of many of the foreign and colonial Governments, and by the good wishes of all.
