EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE BROOK- 
Day BOTANIC: GARDEN, 1918 
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR 
To THE GOVERNING COMMITTEE OF THE BOTANIC GARDEN : 
Gentlemen: I have the honor to present herewith the eighth 
annual report of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, of the Brooklyn 
Institute of Arts and Sciences, for the year 1918. 
The Garden and the War 
The influence of the war, and of the disturbed conditions re- 
sulting therefrom, has been felt in many ways. To this cause 
may be chiefly attributed a marked decrease in nearly all numer- 
ical totals for 1918, covering membership, attendance, and regis- 
tration in classes. On the other hand there has been a most 
gratifying maintenance of level, and even increase, in the totals 
covering accessions of plants, herbarium specimens, books, and 
income of private funds for current expenses and for endow- 
ment. Statements covering these and other similar items will 
be found in the appended reports of the heads of the various 
departments, in Appendix 2 (p. 82), and in the financial state- 
ments (pp. 76-80). 
Men in Service-—Our service flag contains six stars, all rep- 
resenting men from the gardening and laboring forces. In De-
