museum to be built at the same time as the greenhouses, nevertheless 

 its erection was jxistponed until 1875 when the parliament granted 

 112,000 Kroner for the purpose: a sum which really was too Hmited, 

 for whicti reason the museum had to be built on a smaller scale as 

 intended, to immense disadvantage and drawback for the institution 

 during its existence. 



Johan Lange, who had been director for the garden about 20 

 years and had been the chairman in the committee during its latter 

 years, was in 1875 succeeded by 1'. Didrichsen, who held the 

 office until 1885, when E u g. W arm in g took his place. Warming 

 came to the garden just at a time wiien the botanists of Denmark 

 eamestly were wishing to get a hd)oratory for i)lant-anatomy and 

 plant-physiology. and these etTorts resulted in the erection of the 

 botanical laboratory. This was built in the western corner of the 

 garden, on which occasion the garden in itseif was diminished in area 

 with ^/s hekt. and at the same time the northamerican arboretum had 

 to be demolished. The building was fulfdled in 1890 at the cost of 

 about 200.000 Kroner. 



Now professor Warming devised a scheme for a biological garden, 

 and in order to get room for this the area of the students' garden 

 was reduced to half its size. 



The polytechnicum thai in the end of the 80*'i's had been built 

 close to the botanical garden and was inaugurated in 1890 was soon 

 getting too small for its purpose and the institution therefore wanted 

 to extend upon the domain of the botanical garden. In compensation 

 for the 0,3 hekt. the polytechnicum wished, the garden should have 

 on rent in 50 years an adjacent municipal area of 0,7 hekt. extent. 

 The garden entered upon the proposal and hereby it was enabled to 

 get some improvements on its own ground. Wiz: the perennials could 

 be removed to a better quarter of the garden instead of being spread 

 about in the lawns. At the same time the garden gave a freer ad- 

 mittance for the public as formerly. Prior to these alterations the cu- 

 rator Tb. Friedrichsen took his leave in 1902 after having been 

 in activity for 34 years: he was succeeded by Axel Lange. And by 

 the expiration of 1911 prof. Warming retired and was followed by 

 C. R a u n k i æ r. 



The stafT of the institution consists of: the director managing the 

 whole establishment with exception of the physiological laboratory 

 that is under the guidance of another university-professor (at the 

 present time professor \\\ .lohannsenl with his assistant. At the 

 botanical lal^oratory is appointed an assistant and a door-keeper. The 

 museum and library has a museum-superintendent, a librarian, an 

 ammanuensis, a conservatrice and a museum-official; the piants in 

 the garden are revised by the garden-ammanuensis. The garden itseif 

 is under the guidance of the curator with the help of 3 foremen and
