it gives him no little satisfaction to feel that he has thereby 
saved much more of the time of others. Official corre- 
spondence upon bibliographic questions also deserves men- 
tion, although it has not been large. 
Recommendations for the purchase of books have scarcely 
occupied the bibliographer’s attention at all during the year, 
for the reason that the funds available for such purchases 
have been very limited. It is to be hoped that the condition 
here referred to may be speedily remedied. 
Three parts of NortH AmEeRiIcAN Fiora have appeared 
during the year: Volume 15, Part 1, in June; Volume 15, 
Part 2, in August; and Volume 22, Part 5, in December. 
The two parts of volume 15, being the first portion of the 
Flora to deal with mosses, presented certain editorial and 
bibliographic problems not met with in the case of previous 
parts. Part 5 of volume 22, continuing the Rosaceae, was 
comparatively simple, yet the quantity of bibliographic and 
editorial work contingent upon the publication of 92 pages of 
this character is not easily comprehended by one who has 
not undertaken it, and tried to do it well. 
Other work, outside of regular duties, has been continued 
during the year at such times as could be spared from daily 
routine. The bibliographer prepared for the January num- 
ber of the Journat of the Garden a “‘Catalogue of the Cox 
Collection of Darwiniana,”’ and for the December number 
of the Bulletin of the Charleston Museum a biographical 
sketch of the late Dr. Otto Kuntze. He also contributed the 
account of the family Lentibulariaceae to the second edition 
of Britton and Brown’s “I!lustrated Flora,” and the corre- 
sponding group, there called Pinguiculaceae, to Small’s 
“Flora of Miami,” “Flora of the Florida keys,” and “Flora 
of Lancaster County,” all published during the year. 
Respectfully submitted, 
Joun Henptey Barnuart, 
Bibliographer.
