To secure the publications from the above mentioned botanical 
gardens and agricultural departments of foreign countries, about 
three hundred letters were written during the year, arranging 
for exchange courtesies as soon as the publications of the 
Brooklyn Garden are ready for distribution. 
In accordance with a plan for exchange arranged between 
vourself and the Director of the New York Botanical Garden, 
during the first few weeks of my incumbency I spent twelve or 
fourteen days in the library of that Garden, selecting from 
their collection of duplicates such publications as would be of 
value in our library. There are several hundred of these, 
nearly all pamphlets, with a few bound volumes. Owing to lack 
of space for handling them, they have been packed in boxes 
and temporarily stored. 
During the past year we have subscribed for four periodicals, 
viz., Bartonia, Biochemical Bulletin, Landscape Architecture, and 
the Forestry Journal and Annual Reports of the Canadian For- 
estry Association, including membershin in the Association. 
We have had bound twenty-five volumes of the Bulletin of 
the Torrey Botanical Club, completing the set to 1903.
