REPORT OF THE 
house and Gardens since the last report. Amongst the most 
valuable of these, the donations of Sir William Jackson 
Hooker the superintendent, and Mr. Smith the Curator, of the 
Royal Gardens at Kew, are particularly worthy of notice, as 
well as those obtained through R. Marnock, Esq., the Curator, 
from the Royal Botanical-Society’s Gardens, Regent’s Park. 
The Museum Gardens have been recently visited by Dr. 
Lindley, who expressed himself highly interested in the 
Society’s collection of plants, and has since forwarded to the 
Sub-Curator 60 valuable additions, with a promise of further 
co-operation. 
The Library has received valuable donations from various 
learned Societies and private individuals, and some original 
works have been presented by the authors. 
The following is a Meteorological Table for the year 1849, as 
annually furnished to the Society by the Curator of Meteorology, 
with his observations thereon.
