Cooperation with Brooklyn Public Library—During the past 
year negotiations were carried on with Mr. Frank P. Hill, libra- 
rian of the Brooklyn Public Library, resulting in an arrangement 
being effected whereby that library was to complete its set of 
Curtis's Botanical Magazine, renew its subscription, and deposit 
with the Garden library the complete set, and the subsequent vol- 
umes as completed. The set complete, from volume I (1793) to 
volume 138 (1912), and two volumes of index, was received at 
the Garden on October 25. This is a very valuable set of books, 
and is a very substantial addition to our library. 
Transfer from the Museum Library.—At the meeting of the 
Committee on Botanic Garden, on November 11, 1913, I reported 
the transfer from the library of the Ceneral Museum to the Gar- 
den library, of the botanical books and pamphlets, together with 
catalog cards and the Torrey Botanical Club card index of Amer- 
ican botanical literature. This transfer was made in accordance 
with a motion of the Executive Committee of the Board of 
Trustees on October 14, 1913, adopting a recommendation by Mr. 
Alfred T. White, as follows 
“Mr. White recommends that the herbarium and botanical library now 
in the museum be removed to the Botanic Garden building, except where 
this would involve taking parts of sets of books; these to be left in the 
museum; it being understood that any part of the ee or library 
removed may be recalled at any time if needed.” 
A tabular statement of the library items transferred is given in 
the report of the librarian, page
