REPORT OF THE 



house and Gardens since the last report. Amongst the most 

 valuable of these, the donations of Sir William Jackson 

 Hooker the superintendent, and Mr. Smith the Curator, of the 

 Royal Gardens at Kew, are particularly worthy of notice, as 

 well as those obtained through R. Marnock, Esq., the Curator, 

 from the Royal Botanical-Society's Gardens, Regent's Park. 



The Museum Gardens have been recently visited by Dr. 

 Lindley, who expressed himself highly interested in the 

 Society's collection of plants, and has since forwarded to the 

 Sub-Curator 60 valuable additions, with a promise of further 

 co-operation. 



The Library has received valuable donations from various 

 learned Societies and private individuals, and some original 

 works have been presented by the authors. 



The following is a Meteorological Table for the year 1849, as 

 annually furnished to the Society by the Curator of Meteorology, 

 with his observations thereon.
