Ceylon Eerharmm. — All the additions up to the end of 1890 have been mounted and 
intercalated in their places Four new cabinets were set up, and the whole of the additional 
duplicate specimens, accumulated during the last few years, have been named and sorted away 
into their places. The Ceylon duplicates are now all properly named and arranged, and occupy 14 
cabinets. 
Owing to Mr, Clark’s absence on leave, my own visit to Java, and the prolonged wet weather, 
I have made no extended tour in Ceylon for collecting during 1891, The Garden collectors have, 
however, been out as usual. 
The herbarium of Ceylon plants formed by the lateW. Ferguson, p.l.s., which he bequeathed 
to the Ceylon Medical College, was during the year transferred to my Department. I have been 
carefully through the whole, and regret to have to say that owing to the ravages of damp and 
insects nearly the whole of the specimens were perfectly useless and had to be destroyed. This is 
less to be regretted, as Mr. Ferguson had been careful to snp])ly the Garden herbarium with dupli- 
cates of all plants of interest which he collected. 
The whole of the specimens and drawings of Ceylon .4 Jtonrn.wc have been lent to Dr. G. King, 
F.R.S., of Calcutta, to assist him in preparing his monograph on this Family for the “Annals” of 
the Calcutta Gardens. 
Dr. G. Hadde, the well-known traveller in the Caucasus and Director of the Tiflis ISIuseum, 
accompanied the Czarevitch of Russia to Ceylon, and made a botanical expedition in the Hamban- 
toia District. He formed there a consiilenible collection of plants, which 1 had the pleasure of 
naming for him. 
(ipneral Herharimn . — A very large collection of plants sent in exchange (1 believe in 1878) 
from the lm]ieria] Museum at St. Petersburg, which had remained ever since tied up in bundles, 
has been taken in hand, and all have been sorted away into the General Herbarium. Tt proved a 
valuable addition, consisting of numerous specimens from the following collectors ; — Skofitz, 
Armenia and Persia ; Karelin, Turcomania ; Radde, Baikal ; Schrenk. Songaria ; Maximowicz, 
•lapan ; Riedel and Langs dorfi', Brazil ; and F. von Mueller, Australia. 
From Dr. King, P.B.S., we have received from the Herbarium of the Calcutta Gardens about 
800 named and mounted specimens illustrating his memoirs on J///c/.yt/ca, the flora of the Malay 
Peninsula, &c. 
The draughtsman made 81 finished drawings of Ceylon plants and 29 of garden plants 
during the year.
