The Academy is to be congratulated upon at last securing an 

 almost complete set of De Martins' Flora Brasiliensis from the 

 government of Brasil. Our thanks are due Prof. Orville A, Derby 

 for efficiently endorsing our repeated applications to the Ministry of 

 Agriculture, Commerce and Public Works for this most important 

 addition to the botanical library. From the parts received we have 

 been enabled to bind eighteen volumes and efforts are being made to 

 obtain the numbers required to complete the set to date. Among 

 the other distinctively important Avorks added during the year 

 mention may be made of a complete set of Pfliiger's Archiv, in forty 

 volumes, and a beautiful colored copy of Sibthorpe's Flora Graeca, 

 ten volumes folio. The latter has been obtained partly through 

 the I. V. Williamson Fund and partly by subscriptions from Messrs 

 Thomas Meehan, Chas Schaffer, John H. Redfield, W. S. W. Rus- 

 chenberger, Isaac C. Martindale, Aubrey H. Smith, Geo. H. Horn, 

 Wm. C. Henszey, Wm. W. Jefferis, Jacob Binder and Geo. A. 

 Binder.
