all specimens were rearranged and the exhibits put in 
final sequence—the results of several years work on this 
collection. It now contains over 8,000 specimens. 
The labelling of the new specimens was begun by the 
use of a temporary typewritten label. These labels will 
ultimately be replaced by the standard printed label. 
The Systematic Museum 
The four divisions comprising this museum were main- 
tained as heretofore. 
The Synoptic collection was increased by the addition of 
specimens in some of the lower groups of plants. 
The Local Flora was also made more complete by the 
addition of specimens in the lower groups and by illustra- 
tion to represent plants not suitable for exhibition in the 
frames. 
The Microscope Exhibit was maintained unchanged, 
except for the replacing or renewal of specimens. 
The Plant Picture Exhibit was not enlarged, although 
many photographic prints are held in reserve awaiting 
additional frames in which to display them. 
The Fossil Plant Museum 
More than fifty specimens were added to this museum. 
They were from near the arctic circle, Alaska, on the one 
hand, and from near the equator, Trinidad, on the other. 
A beginning has been made in replacing worn labels in the 
public exhibits. 
Herbarium 
Specimens totalling 16,227 were received during the 
year. ‘The geographic distribution represented was almost 
world-wide, but the more important additions, at least as 
far as the present work of the Garden is concerned, came 
from the Continental United States, Mexico, the West 
Indies, northern South America, and the Philippine Islands. 
Selections from the accessions of the year and from those 
of previous ycars, amounting to 32,000 specimens were 
mounted and incorporated in the permanent collections.
