lation of specimens proceeds. These additional units and 

 cases have been accounted for in the numbering, which begins 

 on the left as one enters the building. 



The primary classification of the articles is in accordance 

 with their use as products, as indicated in the following 

 synopsis. Those of each of these classes are then arranged 

 in the botanical sequence of the plants yielding them, pro- 

 ceeding from the lower to the higher groups. Exceptions 

 to this arrangement are the foods and drugs, these groups 

 being so large that they are subdivided in accordance with 

 the portion of the plant represented, from root to seed. 

 The articles of these subdivisions are then arranged in 

 botanical sequence.
