and more readily remade, as is often necessary. We expect to 
have the sources of the plants and year of accession on typewritten 
lists opposite the maps; thereafter, keeping records of the woody 
plants will require less time. 
COURSES 
In the spring I gave an outdoor course of ten lessons on Plant 
Fanuhes continued in the fall by five lessons. The spring lessons 
chiefly related to the structure of flowers and other characters of 
the higher plants. In the fall the closing lesson on ‘ Interde- 
pendence in Plant and Animal Evolution ” was given at the Ameri- 
can Museum of Natural History. 
Visits To Orier GARDENS 
In the spring and again in the fall I visited the Arnold Arbore- 
tum at Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. | also visited the [state 
of Mr. Anton Hodenpyl, on Long Island. 
I have had various consultations with a view to adopting a more 
permanent form of label. We have abandoned white or yellow 
paint on the small wooden labels in favor of black on a slightly 
lighter green background. 
Statistical report is attached herewith. 
Respectfully submitted, 
ALFRED GUNDERSEN, 
Curator of Plants.
