COLONIAL HERBARIUM. 



During the year ending 30th June, 1905, the number of 

 specimens in the Herbarium have been increased from 34,061 as 

 stated in my last Report to 35,924. Of these 10,590 are South 

 African and 25,334 from foreign countries. The whole of these 

 specimens are mounted and in their proper position in the 

 Cabinets, there are a few more still to mount, and we have a large 

 number available for exchange with other Botanists aud Botanical 

 Institutions.
