34 MISSOURI] BOTANICAL GARDEN. 
Through the courtesy of the Directors of several foreign 
botanical gardens —notably those at Kew, Berlin and 
Palermo —and Sir Thomas Hanbury, of Ventimiglia, 
whose fine private garden was freely opened for the pur- 
pose, I have been enabled personally to enrich our 
herbarium by a valuable collection of specimens and pho- 
tographs— including those of type plants — representative 
of the genus Agave, to the field study and collection of 
which I was also able to devote two months early in the 
year. 
The incorporated additions for 1905 amount to 34,535 
specimens, of which 2,783, valued (unmounted) at $139.15, 
were presented or received by way of exchange; 1,878, 
valued at $93.90, were collected by employees of the 
Garden; and 29,874 were bought, the expenditure for 
specimens and material amounting to $2,599.12.

The Engelmann Herbarium (all groups) . . . . 97,859 specimens.
