Special attention is called to the account of our exhibit in the 
Brooklyn Savings Bank from November 17 to December 6, re- 
corded in the appended report of the curator of public instruction 
— 
under whose general supervision this attractive exhibit was in- 
stalled. 
Cooperation 
In our annual report for 1925 we gave a list of 840 institutions 
with which the Brooklyn Botanic Garden had been in cooperation 
that year. Such work has now become a daily occurrence, and there 
would be little point in trying to give a complete list of instances. 
It is gratifying, however, that we can now repay, in some measure, 
the very heavy indebtedness incurred in the earlier years of our 
own development; a few instances may be worth recording as 
indicating the diversity of this work and its geographic range. 
In February our plan of organization, method of financing, and

States. In acknowledging the receipt of the slides the chairman 
wrote: “In all my collection of views, taken in the various arboreta

In March The Regional Plan of New York and Environs was 
supplied with a photograph dlustrating our public education work. 
This was for publication in the final volume of the Regional Plan 
series, Plan Volume II, The Building of the City. 
In April an Agreement was entered into with the American 
Fern Society providing for the deposit and administration here of 
the Society’s library, in consideration of certain mutual advantages 
to be derived by this plan. Dr. Benedict, resident investigator at 
the Garden, is editor of the American Fern Journal, the official
