 Waahincjfon, D. C, April 20, I'JOJ^. 

 8iR: I have tlie honor to transmit herewith, and to recommend for 

 pul)lication as Bulletin 02 of the series of this Ikirean, a paper entitled 

 "Notes on Ejjyptian Ajj^rieulture," i)repared by l*rof. George P. 

 Foaden, Secretary of the Khedivial Agricultural Societj^, Cairo, Egypt. 

 The experiments which this I)ei)artment is conducting in the intro- 

 duction of Egyptian cotton, berseem, and other Egyjjtian crops into 

 this country make it highly important to have a knowledge of the 

 methods employed in the cultivation of these croi)s in Egyi)t. 



The six plates accomi)anying the paper are considered essential to 

 a full understanding of the text.
