The labeling of the collections installed for public obser- 
vation and study has gone forward as rapidly as possible, 
and a large number of the cases are now practically com- 
pletely equipped with labels. Specimens have been added 
so rapidly however, that we have not been able to quite keep 
the labeling up to date. 
It is proposed during the next year to give especial atten- 
tion to the cases designed to illustrate North American den- 
drology, located in the east wing on the main floor of the 
building; many specimens have been assembled for this 
exhibit, which is planned to illustrate the trees of the United 
States and British America north of Mexico and the Carib- 
bean Sea by selected specimens of wood, bark, twigs and 
fruits, and by plates and photographs.
