90 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN. 



Should this recommendation be favorably acted on, and 

 the proposed donation be accepted by the Trustees of the 

 Garden, I propose in future to confine the energy of the 

 School, in this direction, to the completion of its local 

 herbarium, which now numbers some 1,G00 sheets, and of 

 an already considerable collection of woody plants in their 

 winter condition, which is being formed as the basis of 

 scientific work now under way at the School, 



The instrumental and other equipment, and the exact 

 nature of the educational work, of the School of Botany, 

 are so fully indicated in the Annual Announcement of the 

 School, and in my report for 1889 to the Trustees of the 

 Botanical Garden,* that it is unnecessary to say anything on 

 that- subject in this place. 



Respectfully submitted, 

 Wm, Trelease, 



Professor in Charge. 



St. Louis, Mo., June 3, 1890. 



The action recommended with reference to the general 

 herbarium of the School, was unanimously taken by the Di- 

 rectors of the University, and their donation accepted by 

 the Trustees of the Garden, so that the collections referred 

 to are now the property of the Garden and located with its 

 other herbaria.
