to the Garden by the Misses Caroline and Olivia Phelps 
Stokes, for the illustration in color of certain wild flowers 
needing protection from indiscriminate picking, was carried 
out by the publication in the Garden Journat during the 
year of colored plates, illustrating jack-in-the-pulpit, spring 
beauty, wild pink, wild columbine and bird’s-foot violet, 
reproduced from paintings by Miss Mary E. Eaton, who has 
also made paintings of other plants needing preservation. 
The income of this fund will enable us to publish three more 
subjects in this year’s Journat. A considerably larger edition 
of the plates than the number needed for the JourRNAL was 
printed, and it is proposed, after eight subjects have been 
illustrated, to group these in frames and distribute them to 
schools. 
The Charles Finney Cox Memorial Collection of Darwiniana 
At a meeting of the Board of Managers held January 30, 
1912, it was resolved that a permanent memorial of the late 
Charles Finney Cox, who served the Garden for many years 
as treasurer, be established, and it was subsequently ascer- 
tained that the important collection of books and other 
documents relating to Charles Darwin, which had been 
accumulated by Mr. Cox, could be purchased. This purchase 
was accomplished by contributions from the following 
friends of Mr. Cox and of the Garden.
