ledons, hepatics, or pteridophytes; comparative organogeny ; 
special problems in cytology ; systematic study of special groups 
of native plants... 
Library.—The university library consists of 30,000 volumes, 
and 10,000 pamphlets. In botany it contains standard works of 
general character up to date, and complete sets of several of 
the more important journals. It is supplemented by private 
libraries of professors, especially rich in separates pertaining 
to special subjects. 
Greenhouses and garden——There are two greenhouses on the 
grounds, but not conveniently situated, so that they are little 
used. Material is chiefly derived from the wealth of vegetation 
growing out of doors, both wild and cultivated. The university 
tract of 8000 acres embraces a great variety of surface, and fur- 
nishes an abundance of materials of all sorts. Extensive planta- 
tions of exotic and native plants, including a great variety of 
trees and shrubs, offer unusual opportunities. Moreover, the 
mountains and seashore are both readily accessible. 
Collections.—The herbarium now contains about 25,000 
species. The collections and library of the California Acad- 
emy of Sciences at San Francisco (33 miles. Ati are oo :
