Inventory no. 112 lists the introductions (nos. 100468-101157) received by the 

 Division of" Foreign Plant Introduction during the period from July 1 to Septem-

 100833-100837) gathered in the same territory. 



The principal collections represent very large special collections made for 

 Department specialists, as, for example, two sugar collections, one from Charles 

 H. Thrall, Habana, Cuba (101115-101130), and one from the experiment station of 

 the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association, Hawaii (101028-101057) ; forage plants, 

 chiefly grasses, from New Zealand (100660-100676), and from Wales (100678-

 (100799-100832) ; and seeds purchased from the Hindustan Nursery Co., Calcutta, 

 India (100986-100988), and the Chandra Nursery, Rhenock, Sikkim State,
