1897 } OPPORTUNITIES FOR RESEARCH IN BOTANY 75 
the headings: staff; subjects offered; library; greenhouses 
and garden; collections; publication; remarks. 
In giving the “staff’’ we have included all those concerned 
in instruction, so far as known to us, in order to indicate some- 
thing of the strength of the department. For the same purpose 
we have also stated the number of volumes in the general 
library. While botanical works bear no necessary ratio to the 
whole, this furnishes a datum for estimate and for interpretation 
of the statements regarding the botanical library. In some 
cases the number of botanical works is stated, which is most 
direct and satisfactory. 
It will be understood that under “subjects offered”’ are listed 
those divisions of botany within which the staff may be consid- 
ered competent to suggest problems for research, and for which 
suitable facilities are now at hand. No account is taken here 
of any courses of instruction, whether offered to graduates or 
to undergraduates, though these may be an important factor in 
preparation for the examination. 
Channels for publication are abundant; but certain institu- 
tions have journals or bulletins which are especially established 
to receive the results of research prosecuted at them. In such 
cases these have been indicated under the. heading © ee publi- 
cation.” ‘ 
In the following pages the institutions are es alpha- 
betically. As far as possible the statements are bheon in the | 
words of the writers. .
