The collection will be described in detail in the January 
issue of the Garden Journat. It is one of the most impor- 
tant acquisitions from educational and scientific standpoints 
that the institution has ever received. A case for it, now 
under construction, will be placed in the library. 
Administration 
I have been aided in administrative duties during the 
year by Dr. W. A. Murrill, Assistant Director, and by 
Mr. R. S. Williams, Administrative Assistant. I have 
supervised all new construction work, and this has also been 
under the observation and direction of Mr. Arthur J. Corbett, 
Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. I have also 
supervised the installation of additions to the collections, 
which are under the immediate care of Mr. George V. Nash, 
Head Gardener, and of Dr. John K. Small, Head Curator 
of the Museums and Herbarium. Such time as could be 
spared from these duties has been given to studies of the 
North American flora and to cooperation with Dr. J 
Rose, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, in investi- 
gations of the cactus family.
