The Botanical Laboratory and the Botanical Garden of the 

 Tokyo Imperial University, Japan. 



The Botanical Laboratory of the Tokyo Imperial University is located in the 

 Botanical Garden, about three-quarters of a mile from the other university build- 

 ings. It was removed from the university campus to its present site three years 

 ago. The building is one story high, and consists of two parts which are 

 connected by a covered alley-way.
