10 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 
Scotland, Ireland, Holland, Germany, Norway, Denmark, 
Switzerland, Spain, Persia, Liberia, India, Japan, Philip- 
pine Islands, Australia, Roumania, and the Island of 
Mauritius. 
According to the registration cards, about 24 per cent 
of the visitors were from out of town, one-third of them 
coming from the State of Missouri, but every state in the 
Union being represented. It is probable that this percentage 
is somewhat higher than would have been the case had all 
registered, as it was noted throughout the year that those 
coming from outside the city were more apt to register than 
those living in St. Louis. Of the 76 per cent of the visitors 
who registered from the city, 60 per cent were from the 
south side, 25 per cent from the west side, 13 per cent from 
the north side, and 2 per cent from the east side.

RESEARCH AND INSTRUCTION 
The work of research during the year has exhibited a 
wholesome activity, very nearly reaching a point where it 
is limited only by the facilities at the disposition of the staff. 
In the last report the arrangements for segregating the differ- 
ent phases of investigation were referred to and comment 
was made upon the facilities offered. Since that time further 
progress has been made with respect to the installation of 
apparatus and materials for the experimental laboratory, in- 
cluding, particularly, apparatus needed in the chemical and 
pathological aspects of physiology. 
During February and March there was installed in the
