Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences was held at the 
Garden on the afternoon of May 22, when a tour of inspec- 
tion was made of the conservatories, plantations, and 
museum building. 
The Twentieth Anniversary of the New York Botanical 
Garden was commemorated during the week of September 
6-11. Three days were devoted to meetings at the 
Garden and three to excursions in the vicinity of New York 
City. 
The annual meeting of the Women’s National Agri- 
cultural and Horticultural Association, with an exhibit of 
members’ work, was held at the Garden under the auspices 
of the Horticultural Society of New York on May 7. 
Panama Exhibit 
The Garden’s exhibit at the Panama-Pacific Exposition 
was completed early in January and transmitted to Mr. 
Fouquet for shipment to the New York Building at San 
Francisco. It contained the following: 
1. A special set of bound Garden publications, to which 
current numbers were added during the year. 
2. A screen with over 20 enlarged photographic views of 
the buildings and grounds. 
3. A colored wall map and several special features shown 
in large frames to be hung in the halls adjoining the main 
exhibit. 
4. Two swinging frames containing information about 
the Garden and its activities. 
Personal Investigations 
A part of North American Flora containing descriptions 
of 348 species of the higher fleshy fungi, 92 of which were 
new, was published in April. I was assisted in this work 
by Dr. Gertrude S. Burlingham, who supplied descriptions 
of Russula, and by Dr. L. H. Pennington, who supplied 
descriptions of temperate species of Aarasmius. Two 
other parts of North American Flora are in preparation 
and I hope to complete them during 1916.
