lection. No money has been spent during the past two years for 
the purchase of herbarium specimens. 
Some of the more important additions to the herbarium during 
the past year are as follows: from the U. S. National Museum, 
1,045 miscellaneous specimens as an exchange; from Mr. R. A. 
Pope, of Anchorage, Alaska, a gift of 285 specimens collected in 
Alaska; from the Botanic Garden of Cluj, Roumania, 161 Rouma- 
nian plants as an exchange. Dr. Orland E. White, who was a 
member of the Mulford Biological Exploration of the Amazon 
Basin, has, during the year, turned over to the herbarium 260 
specimens of Bolivian plants. Another notable gift is from the 
American Museum of Natural History, comprising 279 specimens 
from Polynesia, collected by the Whitney South Sea Expedition. 
Thirty-one of these specimens were mounted and loaned to the 
American Museum for a public exhibit during December. 
Only 820 specimens were mounted this year, owing to lack of 
assistance and to the crowded condition of the herbarium. During 
June and July the collection of duplicate herbarium specimens was 
looked over. A set of 750 specimens, mostly native plants, was 
arranged and sent to Dr. H. Zerny, of the Naturhistorischen 
Museum at Wien, Austria, in exchange for a collection of Aus- 
trian plants received some time ago. 
Hough’s American Woods, a set of thirteen volumes of specially 
fine wood cuts, was rearranged systematically in order to facilitate 
their use in the herbarium.
