Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for 
the year 1911. 
A census of the library at the end of the year shows that 
the number of bound volumes is 23,578, an increase of 639 
volumes since the last report. The principal accessions 
have been listed from time to time in the Garden JouRNAL, 
as heretofore; most of them have been purchased on the 
account of the special book fund, but 27 volumes have been 
received as gifts. During the year 568 volumes have been 
bound; of this number, 54 are the property of Columbia 
University, deposited with the Garden. 
The following publications should be added to the list 
of periodicals received regularly by the Garden, which
