These models, prepared by Miss Katherine E. French, are 
very accurate and very beautiful; a series of them would be 
of high educational value, and it is hoped that funds may be 
secured which will enable the Scientific Directors to obtain a 
large number. 
The labeling of the specimens in the museum has pro- 
ceeded with their installation and, with the exception of some 
portions of the fossil plant collections, nearly all specimens 
are now provided with printed labels. 
For detailed accounts of work in this department, reference 
is made to the report of the Head Curator of the Museums 
and Herbarium and to that of the Honorary Curator of the 
Economic Collections, hereto appended. 
Herbarium 
This important scientific collection of dried specimens has 
been increased during the year by about 56,000 specimens, 
the largest single accession being the herbarium formed by 
the late Dr. Otto Kuntze, which was purchased for the Gar- 
den by means of money contributed by Mr. Andrew Carne- 
gie. The curators continuously studied this collection and 
others, and much progress has been made in the determina- 
tion of specimens hitherto unnamed: they have also done a 
great deal of work in rearranging the herbarium and making 
it more readily available for reference. Addtional data con- 
cerning the herbarium will be found in the report of the 
Head Curator. 
Contributions of money to the special fund for scientific 
and educational work have been received as follows, and ex- 
pended for the purchase of specimens:
