te 
rare blue flowered “skull cap,” Scutellaria havanensis, probably 
not hitherto seen by botanists for about eighty years, and a cen- 
tury plant (Agave). In the exploration of this coast we used a 
small schooner. 
We returned to Havana again on the afternoon of the 
twenty-third, and set sail on the steamer Havana the following 
afternoon, reaching New York on September twenty-seventh. 
The expedition may be regarded as successful from every 
point of view. Though we were in the tropics during the warm, 
rainy season, our operations were interfered with by rain on only 
two or three days, and then for only a portion of the day. 
Approximately three thousand and five hundred specimens were 
secured, living and preserved, comprising over 1400 collection 
laracter- 
—v 
numbers, and over 120 photographs of vegetation and c 
istic Cuban scenes. 
The Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and the Director personally, are 
deeply indebted to Dr. Britton, and the New York Botanical 
Garden for the opportunities and advantages of this trip, which 
were enjoyed without any expense to the Brooklyn Botanic 
Garden, and will prove of inestimable value to our institution. 
Through the further kindness of the Director of the New York 
Botanical Garden, living specimens, collected in duplicate for the 
Brooklyn Garden, will be cared for at the Bronx until our own 
plant houses are completed. 
Respectfully submitted, 
igned) C. Stuart GAGER, 
Director of the Garden.
