Autograph Letters and Association Books 
Additions to the autograph collection include letters of Darwin, 
David Don, Oswald Heer, J. S. Henslow, Huxley, Franz Unger, 
Sir William Hooker, one from William Ewart addressed to Sir 
Joseph Tlooker, and one from Sir James Murray, editor of the 
Oxford dictionary, to Sir William Thiselton-Dyer, Director of 
Kew Gardens, regarding Linne’s use of a botanical term. Several 
of these letters were taken from an old scrapbook which once be- 
longed to Charles C. Babington, Professor of Botany at Cam- 
bridge University, and were found last summer by Dr. Gager in 
a Cambridge book-shop. <A letter from the late Dr. E. H. Wilson 
was added to the collection because of its interesting content which 
records his “ firm conviction” that the Ginkgo Tree exists no- 
where today in a wild state. 
Some interesting association books acquired were the following: 
a presentation copy (“ from the author ”) of Darwin’s ‘ Notes on 
the Fertilization of Orchids ”; “ Notes on the Flora and Fauna of 
Round Island” by Henry Barkly and Nicolas Pike bearing on its 
title-page the autograph of Colonel Pike, an old Brooklyn resident 
who made original contributions to the knowledge of insular and 
marine flora and fauna while serving as American Consul at the Is- 
Annals” of the Royal Botanic 
€ d 
land of Mauritius; a fine set of the ‘ 
Gardens at Calcutta, in twelve folio volumes, formerly owned by Dr. 
Andrew Thomas Gage, Superintendent of the Garden; a copy of 
the “ Alphabetical Catalogue of Plants in the Garden of Thomas 
Hanbury,” presented to Sir Daniel Morris by Hanbury and con- 
taining the latter’s autograph; and also Sir Daniel Morris’ copy of 
“Reports on the Scientific Results of the Voyage of H. M. S.
