78 BOTANICAL GAZETTE [ FEBRUARY 
umes, including complete sets of numerous periodicals, and several 
thousand pamphlets (not yet catalogued). The Newberry and 
Crerar libraries, both easily reached, add largely to the library 
facilities. A very complete list of current books and periodicals 
is received in exchange for the BoTanicaL GAZETTE. 
Greenhouses and garden. There are no greenhouses at pres- 
ent belonging to the university. The large houses in Wash- 
ington Park, and the extensive planting both in Jackson and 
Washington parks (a few blocks east and west of the university 
respectively ) supply almost unlimited material. 
Collections —— The entire herbarium and library of Head Pro- 
fessor Coulter have been purchased by the university, contain- 
ing a very full representation of the vascular plants of North 
America, and their literature. The collection is especially 
rich in types and standard sets. 
Publication—-The BoranicaL. GazetTeE, published by the 
university, is the natural avenue for publication of papers from 
the department. Books may be issued by The University of 
Remarks.— A botanical club holds weekly meetings to dis- 
cuss current research and publications. 
The foregoing relates only to work offered this year. 
Enlarged space, facilities and staff, will be provided after the 
completion of the Hull Botanical Laboratory, now in course of 
construction.
