1 8 Bailey, Herbarium of British and Foreign Plants. 



It may be as well to put on record what will become of the 

 duplicates of this herbarium. All the duplicates of Continental plants, 

 amounting to about 6,000 sheets, were sent to the Queen's University of 

 Belfast, as per my letter to Professor R. H. Yapp, of the iQth June, 

 1917. By " deed of gift," dated 3rd of June, 1917, I have conveyed to 

 the University of Manchester my British, Continental and other dried 

 plants, library, microscopical slides, diagrams, models of plants, etc. 

 The herbarium was dispatched to Manchester on the 3rd July, 1Q17, and 

 three following days. Of the duplicates of British j^lanis there may be 

 20,000 sheets; some of which may, later on, be offered to the Universi- 

 ties of Birrningham, Cardiff, Liverpool, Louvam, Oxford, etc. ; but 

 there will still be a residue to be dealt with if strength permits. [Note 

 added during the course of printing, 6th July, 1Q17.]
