 Bernhardi herbarium of some 60,000 sheets* have been 

 added the much larger collection of Engelmann, the material 

 accumulated through the life-long activity of several other 

 prominent botanists, and the usual current sets made by 

 professional collectors in this country, and, to a less extent, 

 abroad. The growth of the herbarium, uniformly sustained 

 through the last five years, is indicated by the accompanying 

 diagram (I). 



Incorporated additions for 1908 number 23,726 sheets of 

 specimens, of which 8,984, mostly unmounted and valued at 

 $449.20, were presented or received by way of exchange; 

 1,917, valued at $95.85, were collected by Garden employees; 

 and 12,825 were purchased, the Secretary's books showing 

 an expenditure of $1,322.30 for specimens, and material used 

 in mounting them. In exchange for other specimens, 1,864 

 duplicates, valued at $93.20, and 3 mounted sheets, valued 

 at 45 cts., were distributed to correspondents.
