1. Completing the revision of the classification. 
2. The binding of periodicals and books. 
3. Completion of the dictionary catalogue. 
4. Comparison of shelf-list with dictionary catalogue, so that 
we may find missing volumes and catalogue them, as well as weed 
out dead cards. 
5. Accessioning between eight and nine hundred books which 
were transferred to us by the Museum, and which have never 
been given our accession numbers. These have now been turned 
over to us permanently, and should, therefore, be entered in the 
accession book. 
6. Revising and completing the back serial shelf-list and cata- 
logue, so that we may know what years and volumes of sets of 
periodicals, society transactions and proceedings, and annual re- 
ports of institutions we actually possess, and what years are 
lacking. 
7. Cataloguing of duplicates. 
I wish to extend to each member of the Garden staft my keen 
appreciation of the aid extended to me in every way possible dur- 
ing the past few months. 
The statistical report and the list of donors is herewith at- 
tached. 
Respectfully submitted,
