V. GARDEN ESTABLISHMENT. 



a. Works. 



The Buildings, Works, and Repairs, already alluded 

 to in the Report on Expenditure, have been very exten- 

 sive, and have supplied many of the most pressing desi- 

 derata in the accommodation required by the present highly 

 developed state of the Collection. 



The change which has thus been effected in the general 

 appearance of the Garden is sufficiently apparent to every 

 Visitor. The actual enumeration of these works is as 

 follows : — 



1. The removal and re-erection of the large Building
