as much demand as ever. A list of the Aroids cultivated in the Gardens was published 
and copies distributed to Gardens and other Institutions for exchange purposes. 
The Artist continued making drawings of rare and interesting plants, and . also 
made a number of diagrams for the Botanical Lectures at the Medical School. A course 
of these lectures was given by the Director to the students lasting for about 3 months, 
two lectures a week being given. This being the Hrst course delivered and there being 
no diagrams, specimens, books, etc., in readiness when the school commenced work,
