When the Garden came under the care of the Board it was 

 scientifically unproductive, and without affiliations. With 

 the issue of its first Annual Report (1890), which was purely 

 historical, relations with other establishments were inaugurated, 

 and the publication in each subsequent year of a volume in 

 large part devoted to scientific papers, has made it possible 

 to extend these relations and to develop a systematic and 

 mutually helpful exchange of publications, the growth of 

 which is indicated on the accompanying diagram (K). 



The serial publications now received number 1,452, of which 

 103 arc bought, and 1,349, issued by 949 institutions or pul> 

 Ushers, are received by way of exchange. After a careful 

 revision of the list and elimination of such as have lapsed, 

 this number is 36 in excess of that reported last year.f
