18 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. 
to secure the herbarium of Professor G. C. Broadhead, 
valuable as verifying the occurrence in Missouri of plants 
referred to in the early geological reports on the State. 
Though large additions to the mounted material have been 
reported each year, the herbarium has been increasing 
far more rapidly than the material could be mounted and 
incorporated. Extra help has been employed through 
nearly the whole of 1902, in which 62,844 sheets of 
specimens were incorporated, leaving a greatly reduced 
quantity of unmounted material at the close of the year. 
Of the incorporated sheets, 15,551, valued at $757.55, | 
were presented or received in exchange for material or 
publications, 469. were collected by employees of the 
Garden, and 47,224 were bought. The expenditure on the 
herbarium for the year amounts to $3,015.81. A single 
duplicate sheet only was withdrawn, but a considerable 
amount of fragmentary material of no nominal value was 
sent to correspondents for research purposes. 
The herbarium, so far as now mounted, consists of : —
