A view of tlie Liiiiieaii Jlerbarium at the present lime. Tiie 

 doors are open, showing the twenty-one steel boxes wliich contain 

 the parcels of plants; one box is open, showing the ends of tlie 

 parcels, one of which is placed at the bottom. The doors have 

 double steel sheets with asbestos between them, and the cabinet 

 is lined throughout with tlie same fire-])roof materials. 



Before the recent war, the herbarium was kept in the three 

 painted wooden cabinets used by Linnaeus, and the cabinet had 

 glazed doors, but the risk of damage by enemy aircraft caused 

 the adoption of the changes above indicated.
