The Garden has the very valuable mycological collection of Dr. 
Franz Bubak, formerly Professor of Botany and Plant Pathology 
in the Royal Agricultural Academy, and Director of the Botanical 
Garden, Tabor, Bohemia. This collection consists of over 33,000 
specimens. Many of these served as the basis for Dr. Bubak’s 
numerous contributions to mycology and plant pathology. He 
described more than 500 new species of fungi and his original or 
type specimens are represented in the collection. 
In 1918, the Garden received from Mr. Harold Wingate his 
collection of Myxomycetes of 130 species, including numerous 
type species, mostly from near Philadelphia, from the region where 
Dr. Rex, well-known collector of Myxomycetes, gathered most of 
his material. 
3. BRYOPHYTES 
In 1913, the Botanic Garden received from Annie Morrill 
Smith (Mrs. Hugh M. Smith) her entire collection of mosses 
(10,124) and hepatics (649), together with her invaluable library 
covering the same groups.t. This is the largest single gift of her- 
barium and library material ever received by the Botanic Garden, 
and has provided an admirable foundation upon which to build 
along the lines represented by the collections. 
4. ALGAE 
The collection includes about 2,000 sheets from the Museum, 
the Collin-Holden-Setchel Phytotheca Boreali-Americana, C. F. 
Durant’s Algae and Corallines of the Bay and Harbor of New 
York (1850), Mr. D. I. Banks’ Long Island Algae, and others. 
Also, Index Algarum Universalis, of Josephine E. Tilden. 
In the development of ‘scientific work at the Garden, emphasis 
has been placed on the experimental aspects of botany, and there 
has been no effort to make the Brooklyn Botanic Garden pri- 
marily a taxonomic center. 
The herbaria are being developed rather as a supplement to
