was repaired, and the approach to power house no. i was 

 concreted to preserve the wall and to afford an easy entrance 

 for coal wagons. 



The collections under glass are rapidly increasing in 

 number and size. They are in good condition and con- 

 tinue to attract large numbers of visitors. 



Publications 



The importance of the publications of the Garden is now 

 very widely recognized, and the subscription lists show a 

 steady increase. Very little money is spent on advertising 

 in other journals, although a small advertisement of our 

 recent publications was inserted in Science several times 

 during the year, with good results. 



The inauguration of Mycologia necessitated a change 

 in the editorship of the Journal, which is now in charge of 

 Mr. Percy Wilson, Administrative Assistant. The Bul- 

 letin is edited by Dr. Arthur Hollick, Assistant Curator; 

 and "North American Flora" by Dr. N. L. Britton, Direc- 

 tor-in-Chief, Dr. J. H. Barnhart, Librarian, and myself. 



The Journal has been published for each month during 

 the year, making a volume of 308 pages with 19 plates and 

 37 figures. 



Mycologia 



This bimonthly periodical, devoted to fungi, was inaugu- 

 rated in January and has appeared on alternate months 

 throughout the year, making a volume of 290 pages with 

 16 plates and 5 figures. A feature of this publication is the 

 illustration of fungi in their natural colors. Twenty species 

 are thus illustrated in the first volume. 



The following distinguished mycologists have assisted 

 me with this periodical: 



Joseph C. Arthur, Howard J. Banker, Giacoma Bresadola, 

 Frederic E. Clements, John Dearness, Franklin S. Earle, 

 Bruce Fink, Thomas H. Macbride, Paul Magnus, Narcisse
