our library, and this in spite of the fact that we now have 

 600 (or about five and one half per cent.) more than a 

 year ago. Many of the gaps could be filled easily; the 

 purchases of the past summer were limited only by the 

 exhaustion of the available fund. 



The crowded condition of the library, as a result of its 

 normal growth, necessitates immediate provision for in- 

 creased accommodation. In the room to the west of the 

 reading-room, now forming a part of the library, can be 

 placed conveniently book-stacks to provide about 2,500 

 linear feet of shelving, of which less than ten per cent, is 

 now installed. The remainder should be purchased and 

 put in place as rapidly as funds available for equipment 

 will permit. 



In May, the writer represented the Garden at the Inter- 

 national Botanical Congress in Brussels, and later took 

 the opportunity of studying many types of Lentibulari- 

 aceae at Munich, Berlin, Paris, London, and Kew. The 

 small family Koeberliniaceae has been contributed to North 

 American Flora.
