COLLECTIONS AND INVESTIGATIONS 
Very little collecting was done during the year owing to the shortage 
of staff consequent on the absence on leave of Mr. Henderson and 
Mr. Lennon, 
Mr. Holttum collected on Gunong Panti, Johore, in February, on 
Penang Hill at various times, and in Java, in August. 
Mr. Holttum visited Buitenzorg for a fortnight in August, and was 
very kindly received by the Director and the staff, and acquired much valuable 
information concerning organisation of Gardens and Herbarium. Some 
time was spent working in the Herbarium on the comparison of Malay 
Peninsula and Netherlands East Indies collections, and a visit was paid to 
the mountain garden of Tjibodas. 
HERBARIUM 
Towards the end of the year the herbarium of the Federated Malay 
States Museums was handed over to the Botanic Gardens on loan, and the 
work of re-arranging and incorporating was begun. Each sheet bears a 
distinctive label, so that the two herbaria can readily be separated. 
While on leave in England, Mr. Henderson spent a short time in the 
Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, working on material 
collected on Cameron's Highlands.
