REPORT OF THE CRYPTOGAMIC BOTANIST. 



To the Director of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment 

 Station, 

 Sir :— 



In compliance with your request, I submit the follow- 

 ing description of the laboratory, and appliances for Cry ptogamic 

 Botany, and a report of progress in the work done in the interests 

 of the station during 1890. 



The two laboratory rooms in which the cry ptogamic work is 

 carried on, are on the second floor of the south wing of the Sage 

 College ; the entrance from the campus being through the door 

 next to the Cornell University flower conservatories in the rear of 

 this building. The museum-herbarium room adjoining the labora- 

 tories, also contains the collections of fungi belonging to or 

 used by the station, and the flower-conservatories have been used 

 for the experiments relating to germination and artificial infection 

 of fungi, in default of more suitable ones for such work.
