sented to the City Parks Association by Miss Caroline E. Cope 
and other members of the Cope family to be maintained at an 
‘arboretum and refuge for migratory birds. As stated in the 
Bulletin, the upland area is already very well and beautifully de- 
veloped in the English style. The trees and shrubs are to 
grouped by families, and the planting has already begun. From 
the address delivered at the June meeting by Professor Arthur 
W. Cowell, of Pennsylvania State College, landscape gardener of 
the Arboretum, we learn that a rose garden is planned “to con- 
tain, we hope, every variety of garden rose known.” The same 
address also states that “the system of naming is that which will 
be found of greatest advantage to average people and students 
and nurserymen, and the names adopted by the Committee upon 
Standardized Plant Names have been used. These are the terms 
found in most botanies and in the Cyclopedia of Horticulture.” 
On November 14, 1919, the Garden received as a gift from Mr. 
R. G. Eccles, M.D., 1,669 mounted herbarium specimens repre- 
senting especially the flora of Long Island and other parts of 
the United States. 
The Gorden library has received the initial number of two 
new botanical publications. In July appeared the first number 
of the Journal of the Arnold Arboretum, under the editorship of 
Prof. Charles Sprague Sargent, director of the Arboretum. This 
periodical will appear quarterly, and the editorial announcement 
states that “in its pages will appear notes on trees and shrubs 
with descriptions of new species and their relationships, letters 
from correspondents, and notes on vegetation of countries vis- 
ited by officials and agents of the Arboretum. In the Journal of 
the Arboretum will also appear such items of news about the 
Arboretum, its library, collections and projects which will inter- 
est botanists, horticulturists and their friends of the institution.” 
It is further stated that the new Journal will not take the place 
of the Bulletins of Popular Information paplioned at irregular 
intervals by the Arboretum. 
In September, 1919, appeared the first number of the Journal 
of Indian Botany edited by P. F. Fyson, B.A., F.L.S., Presidency
