The total registration of students for the year 1904 includes 
45 persons, who represent by degrees received, or by incum- 
bencies held, 43 institutions of collegiate rank or scientific 
purpose. One held a research scholarship for one month, 
one for two months and one for a period of four months and 
a second period of three months. 
My investigations upon heredity and origin of species 
begun in 1902 have been continued and some results of value 
have been attained. A special area has been enclosed for 
the cultural work in the open air, and this, with the facilities 
afforded by the experimental house, has given opportunity 
for much critical work. Some attention has been directed 
to a cultural test of Lamarck’s evening-primrose and its 
mutants, and a study has been made of the constancy of the 
various forms involved under the climatic conditions obtaining 
at the Garden. Fourteen mutants of specific and varietal 
rank have been seen to originate from the form named above, 
a few of which are not recognizable as being identical with 
forms produced in Amsterdam. Mutants of other species 
have also been secured and will be duly described in papers
