115 lead ones. Construction work has again overshadowed this 
work, so that the number of verifications made and show labels 
added have not been as large as could be wished. Accession 
numbers 6272-7255 inclusive, were assigned during the year. Of 
course these are only used for the systematic collections and do 
not therefore reflect the actual additions of plants to the Garden. 
Rock-Garden plants and all decorative planting are not included. 
Our records show 3,618 species and forms, and about 1,250 genera 
grown now in the systematic collections. This does not include 
395 specimens without specific names. 
Plants in the Siisteuaucss collections were derived during the 
year as follows:

Considerable additions to the local flora section are not included 
in these figures, which represent only species or forms to which 
new accession numbers have been assigned. 
Phanerogamic Herbarium 
Additions to the phanerogamic herbarium have been made as 
follows: (a) Plants mounted and sorted into the cases, 4,271. 
(b) Total number of new specimens received, 2,930. Among the 
latter, the most important are from the Philippine Islands, 880 
specimens; northern New York State, 800; Oklahoma, 250; 
Jamaica, 175; Long Island, 240; and from the Missouri Botanical 
Garden 468 specimens from the middle west and southwest. 
There has been also a good deal of repairing and remounting of 
old or poorly mounted specimens. 
Early in January we received a very large collection from Dr. 
E. B. Southwick, estimated at 30,000 herbarium specimens and 
many hundreds of seed samples and sections of woods. For lack 
of facilities it was impossible properly to arrange and install this 
collection and it has been held in storage, much of it in the Brook- 
lyn Museum building, until we occupy our completed building.
