Department of Botany and Plant 
Economics. 
This department occupies the galleries of the North, South, 
East (in part) and West Courts of the main building, and may 
be reached by any of the four flights of stairs near the central 
rotunda, or by the stairways at one side of the east and west 
main doorways. 
The department is now being reinstalled. The old geo- 
graphic arrangement, established in the beginning, is being 
replaced as rapidly as possible by a consecutive systematic 
series. This early installation being, on that account, in a more 
or less chaotic and depleted state, is not included in this guide. 
New cases are being constructed, installed and shifted 
into their natural places as rapidly as completed. The follow- 
ing systematic installation and elements for future arrange- 
ment will be found upon the transept galleries surrounding the 
central dome of the building, and in the north gallery. 
SYSTEMATIC INSTALLATION.
