<strong>Society</strong> Activities 73ill Macroom forest (Mr. M. Darcy, F.i.C., Mr. M. McElroy, A .F.) theinterest centred in young crops and on game management problems. InDunmanway forest (Mr. C Bunce, F .i.C., Mr. M. Barry, A.F.) we saw ahighly productive crop <strong>of</strong> Sitka spruce, 36 years old, at Aultagh propertywhich had been severely retarded ill its early years by frost damage andcompetition from common furze.Thursday was devoted to botanical and conservational aspects. <strong>The</strong>morning was spent on Garnish . Island, the famous garden created out <strong>of</strong>barren rock and bog from 1910 onwards, and now in National ownership andadministered by the Commissicners <strong>of</strong> Public Works. In the afternoon wewent to Glengarriff forest (Mr. J. Vaughan, F.i.C., Mr. D Cusack, A.F.).<strong>The</strong>re we were joined by Mr. Michael Neff <strong>of</strong> the Forest and WildlifeService Research Branch to discuss the conservation and regeneration <strong>of</strong>the native and rare species in this area which is uniquely endowedfloristically. One <strong>of</strong> the greatest problems is the control <strong>of</strong> Rhododendronponticum which obliterates practically every other p lant in its inexorablespread. <strong>Full</strong> participation in the discussion here was somewhat inhibited bya plague <strong>of</strong> midges (doubtless a rare native breed) to which some weremore susceptible than others, but on at least one occasion a spiriteddIscussion arose as to the hard cash value <strong>of</strong> the work now being conductedunder the general heading <strong>of</strong> conservation.<strong>The</strong> Annual Dinner <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Society</strong> was held on Thursday night at thetour headquarters in Bantry, where the speeches tended to be drowned bythe clatter from the nearby kitchens. "Viewing the dawn" was a popularfeature <strong>of</strong> the subsequent socialities.<strong>The</strong> following members took part in the Study Tour: Dr W. H. Jack,President, Dr. P. M.
