8. Cytology in the broad sense. 
g. Comparative histology; with special reference to devel- 
opment of vascular tissue, and secondary thickening of the 
cambium ; tissues of seedlings; relation of histology to tax- 
onomy. 
10. Special morphology of higher plants, with reference to 
special forms assumed by different members. 
Library.— General library contains 190,000 volumes and 
50,000 pamphlets. A large number of current journals are 
received. Botany has a good showing in the library, but it 
would be impossible to give an accurate or even approximate 
Statement since so many of the important articles are found in 
transactions and proceedings of societies. 
Greenhouses and garden.— Five different houses of different 
temperatures, with a variety of exotic plants, some native 
plants, space for growing plants in physiological experiments, 
and material for illustration and use in the laboratories, 
A garden for illustrations and for growing plants, to supply 
certain of the wants in the laboratory, as well as for experi- 
mental purposes. 
Collections — A small but growing herbarium of about 15,000 
species.
