Dr. Bubak, for many years, was director of the Botanical Garden 

 at Tabor, Bohemia. During this period he made numerous valu- 

 able contributions to Mycology and has furnished along with his 

 collection, practically a complete set of reprints of his publications, 

 to the number of about 75. Some of his more important contri- 

 butions are as follows: "Beitrag zur Pilzflora von Ungam," 

 ' 'Beitrag zur Pilzflora von Montenegro," "Beitrag zur Kenntnis 

 dcr Pilzflora Bulgariens," and " Die Pilzc Bohmens." As a result 

 of the political and economic changes in Central Europe in recent 

 years, the Agricultural Academy in Tabor has been discontinued, 

 and Dr. Bubak has been made professor of plant pathology in the 

 Technical School at Prague. 



Additional herbarium cases are greatly needed to insure proper 

 protection to these specimens and to facilitate their use. 



Besides the Bubak collection, 1,736 specimens of fungi and 228 

 specimens of algae and mosses have been added to the cryptogamic 

 herbarium — in all, 35,743. 



Phanerogamic. — A total of 3,704 specimens have been added to 

 the phanerogamic herbarium (flowering plants and ferns), all of 

 which were obtained by gift, exchange, and collection. Additional 

 cases are also needed for this collection. 



Gifts to the collection are acknowledged in Appendix 1 of this 

 report.
