The special contribution made by Mr. Carnegie was for 
the purpose of enabling the Garden to obtain a selection of 
books from the library of the late Professor Jordan, sold at 
auction in Paris, France, early in May; about 340 rare and 
important works were thus secured. 
A considerable number of additional exchanges for our 
publications have been arranged, particularly with foreign 
institutions, so that the number of institutions on our ex- 
change list at present is 305, as against 257 during the pre- 
vious year. 
The additional furniture which was supplied under the 
contract of the Commissioner of Parks with Thomas Dwyer, 
completed in the spring, has afforded space for all the addi- 
tional volumes; it is evident, however, that additional shelv- 
ing will soon again be needed to take up the growth of the 
library. 
Museums and Herbarium, 
As shown by the report of Curator, hereto appended, about 
85,000 specimens have been added to the collections con- 
tained in the museum building, and about 45,000 specimens 
have been incorporated and labeled, leaving about 40,000 
specimens which we have not been able to install, but which 
are still in the store-rooms; on account of lack of funds, we 
have been unable to take care of the material this year as 
rapidly as it has been obtained, but I hope that a better record 
may be made during 1904. 
The additional furniture put in last winter and spring 
necessitated an entire rearrangement of all the collections, 
and this required much time and attention by the curators 
and their aids.
