V.—MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. 
Visitors during 1909.—3,360,221 visitors to the Royal Botanic 
Gardens have been recorded during the year 1909. These figures 
shew an increase of 397,507 over those for the year 1907, which up 
to the present were the largest numbers on record. During the last 
ten years (1899-1908), 17,861,093 persons have visited the gardens, 
giving an average of 1,786,109. The total number of visitors on, 
Sundays during 1909 was 1,384,369, and on week-days 1,975,852.. 
unday visitors have increased by 62,985; in this connection it is- 
of interest to notice that until the year 1907 visitors to the gardens 
on Sundays had only on three occasions exceeded 700,000. The: 
number of visitors on week-days shews an increase of 281,639 over 
the previously recorded maximum in 1907 ‘ 
_The greatest attendance on any one day was 103,895 on Whit 
Monday, May 31st. The smallest number on any one day was 191, 
on November 29th. The largest and smallest oe attendances 
were 71,584 and 492 respectively, and in the former figures a slight: 
increase has occurred. | So ares
