The publications received by exchange from the New York 
Botanical Garden early in 1911, and stored during the remainder 
of that year, have now been cared for. In this accession there 
were 62 bound volumes, 688 pamphlets, and a large number of 
parts of serial publications. 
We are at present receiving 22 periodicals: 12 by subscrip- 
tion; 7 by exchange; 3 by gift. 
The library collections have been further enlarged by many 
monographs and separate reprints of botanical papers, presented 
y their authors; also by much descriptive literature and many 
seed lists received from foreign botanical gardens in reply to the 
circular letter sent out in I9g1I asking for exchange courtesies, 
and the one of I912, requesting information regarding the 
organization, equipment and activities of the various gardens. 
Many Government and state publications have also been received, 
which are not included in the summary on page 70. 
A gift of one thousand dollars from Mr. Alfred T. White, 
has been almost entirely expended in the purchase of mono- 
graphs, manuals, and floras. From Mr. P. F. Schofield were 
received Downing’s Landscape Gardening and Rural Archi- 
tecture, several botanical text-books, and 14 volumes of Ameri- 
can Forestry, from volume 4, 1898, when it appeared under 
the title, The Forester, to volume 17, I911; incomplete 
volumes of a number of popular magazines; various reports on 
forestry and conservation; and publications from the Bureau of 
Forestry at Washington, which were of assistance in bringing 
our files of these publications more nearly up to date. Mrs. 
Annie Morrill Smith has presented the two volumes of Science 
for 1912; and Mr. W. A. White gave a copy of “Hortus Bri- 
tanno Americanus,” by Mark Catesby 
The set of index cards of agricultural experiment station 
literature has been increased by the purchase of 147 cards. 
These remain unfiled, for want of room. 
The following summary of publications now possessed by 
the Garden may be made:
