REPORT OF THE SECRETARY AND DIRECTOR- IN-CHIEF FOR THE YEAR ror!
(Accepted and ordered printed, January 8, IgI2)
To THE Boarp oF Manacers or THE New Yorkx Bo-
TANICAL GARDEN.
Gentlemen: 1 have the honor to submit herewith my re- port as Secretary and Director-in-Chief for the year ending January 8, 1912.
The development of the Garden has progressed rapidly during the year just closed by means of city appropriations for construction work and for the improvement of the grounds aggregating $49,800, and of unexpended balances of previous city appropriation. Considerable areas have been improved by grading and drainage and by the con- struction of additional paths. The two additional green- houses of conservatory range no. 2 under construction at the time of my last annual report were completed and opened to the public in July, and an additional house for this range will now be provided through a Park Depart- ment contract just awarded to Kelly & Kelley for the sum of $10,500. The boundary fence on the western side of the grounds, built by the New York Central & Hudson River Railroad Company under agreement with the City and with the Garden, was satisfactorily completed in the spring; a Park Department contract soon to be awarded will provide a fence along the greater part of the eastern boundary of the Garden, along the newly opened Bronx Boulevard. The collections of living plants, of museum
(1)
(2)
and herbarium specimens and of books have all been ma- terially increased. New plantations have been established in various parts of the grounds and the older plantations have been modified and elaborated. Direct educational work with the public and with children from the public schools has been continued by lectures, demonstrations, and by docentry. Investigation work over a wide range of subjects has been carried out by advanced students, by visiting officers of other institutions and by members of the staff, and the publications have been continued. Gifts of plants, books and specimens have been numerous, and large accessions to the collections have been made by ex- change of duplicate material with other gardens and museums. Grading and Drainage
During the year, the areas bordering the new arboretum driveway from near the Bleecker Street entrance south- ward to the southeastern entrance were completely graded, regulated and drained, and the land affected made ready for sowing and planting in the spring. Considerable grad- ing work was done about the completed part of conserva- tory range no. 2 and around its boiler house. The regu- lating and grading of the banks along the east side of the river road were essentially completed. The land along the base of the retaining wall of the Bronx Boulevard in the northeastern part of the grounds was completed. Work was continued in filling and draining low areas in the north meadows, where considerable work still remains to be accomplished. At the approach to the Woodlawn Road entrance, advantage was taken of opportunities to obtain several thousand cubic yards of earth filling required there, without cost, by permitting contractors to dump surplus earth from construction operations in the building of edifices outside of the Garden. The removal of the last of the several knolls near the museum building was continued and the rock utilized for the foundations of paths in various parts of the grounds.
(3)
A polluted brook which flowed into the Garden through a culvert on the railroad near the west end of the Upper Bridge and which had long been a nuisance was turned into a city sewer by permission of the City Department of Public Works, and this work removes the last menace of this character.
Roads and Paths
The new arboretum road which was essentially ready for final surfacing at the time of my last annual report remains unfinished, owing to unavoidable delay in obtaining the necessary trap rock screenings, but this material will be furnished early in the spring through a Park Department contract awarded late in the autumn. The service road from the stable to the propagating houses was completed and put into use. Work at the new southeastern entrance was continued both by the Park Department and by the Garden.
Work in path construction was carried out on a large scale mainly through the arboretum in the part of the Garden east of the Bronx River, where some 1,200 running feet were finally surfaced and opened to the public, and the Telford foundation of about 6,000 feet more was laid; many of these new paths would have been surfaced and completed but for the delay in obtaining trap rock screen- ings; they may all be essentially completed in the spring. The foundation for a path along the east side of the Bronx River northward from the Long Bridge, a stretch of some 600 feet, was completed; this work required the building of a river wall, averaging 5 feet in height, for about S00 feet, for which boulders and stones exposed in grading operations and found in old stone walls were utilized, having been saved for several years for this purpose, after the building of the Boulder Bridge had used up a great number of them. These two features and the boulder parapet wall along the river road have used up nearly all the loose large stone on the grounds, a great many having also been broken up and
(4)
put into the foundations of paths. Path construction has also been continued in the north meadows along the east side of the river and is going forward there during this winter. Another year’s work should make the path system as now planned at least four-fifths complete.
The necessity for railings along paths in various parts of the grounds, which became manifest a few years ago, has been emphasized by the increased number of visitors, and several thousand running feet of such guard rail have been put in place, work which is still in progress at the present time. It seems certain that much more of this rail will ultimately be needed to properly protect many of the plantations, natural thickets and woodlands.
Under the requirements of the Garden’s charter, the maintenance of roads and walks rests with the Park De- partment, but the available appropriations of the Depart- ment have not been sufficient to afford a proper scope of maintenance; the driveway surfaces have become badly worn by the increasing number of motor cars and other vehicles. Paths have required little attention except for weeding and regulating of grass edges, which has been ac- complished by laborers in the employ of the Garden. Some of the older paths have become worn and need a new coat of trap rock screenings.
Bridges
The four stone bridges are in good order and have re- quired norepairs. The concrete bridge spanning the Bronx gorge below the water-fall, built by the Park Department last year, has proved very useful. The old wooden bridge near this point still remains in position, but it is now quite out of place and it is proposed to demolish it; its removal will afford a splendid view of the water-fall from the new bridge and will make possible the completion of fenced trails through woodlands in this vicinity.
Our general plan calls for one more permanent bridge across the Bronx River, to be located near the southern
(5)
end of the north meadows, and a sketch by Mr. John R. Brinley, Landscape Engineer of the Garden, is herewith submitted for consideration.
Water Supply
The six-inch distributing main, encircling the Garden along the main driveways, was entirely completed during the year by the laying of some 800 feet along the new arboretum road. Only lateral one-inch and two-inch dis- tributing pipes in a few areas are now required to make the water supply system complete.
Buildings
Repairs on the older buildings have required more expenditures than in any previous year, as was foreseen at the time of my last annual report. The entire interior of the large glass dome of conservatory range no. I (house no. I of this range) was doubly painted; this was an ex- pensive task, because it required the construction of an interior scaffold reaching nearly to the top of the house, for which lumber had to be purchased. Four painters in addition to our two regular employees were hired for a period of five weeks. The work was successfully accom- plished without accident and with no damage to the collec- tion of palms. Every pane of glass was examined during the painting process and made secure where necessary, but our men report that there was astonishingly little to do in this connection, which speaks very well for the original construction of this large glass dome. The interior of houses 5, 6, 7 and 8 of this range were also painted, advantage being taken of the opportunity to remove the contents of houses 7 and 8 to one of the new houses at conservatory range no 2. It was found necessary to entirely replace the steam heating pipes in the aquatic house (house no. 9 of range 1), and minor replacements of heating pipes in several of the other houses were also necessary.
(6)
In the autumn, leaks in the steam main from power house no. 1 to the museum building developed when steam was turned on and it was found necessary to replace portions of this pipe with new lengths and to tighten up the joints of others; this required considerable earth excavation, as the trench in which these pipes rest along this line is too small to permit work to be done within it. Steam leaks also developed at several points within the museum building and were repaired.
Leaks in the roof of the museum building, which have been a more or less continuous source of annoyance, were repaired, and portions of the walls of this building and of the retaining walls of its front approach were pointed. It will be necessary soon to go over a large portion of the cornices of the museum building and other parts of its
Part of the wooden floor of the stable showed weakness during the spring and was found to be partly decayed; it was replaced by a concrete floor. It will be well to treat other parts of this flooring in the same way when the necessity arises.
The minor buildings have required little attention and are in good condition, and the same is true of the whole of conservatory range no. 2.
The necessity of a shop for mechanics mentioned in my last annual report is becoming more and more apparent, and application for an appropriation for such a structure has been included in the estimates of construction require- ments during the next five years, requested by the Finance Department of the city.
A hexagonal concrete pergola at the herbaceous grounds may be built during the coming year, plans for it having been approved by the Municipal Art Commission and an appropriation of $2,500 voted for it by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment.
(7)
Plants and Planting
Much progress has been made with out-of-door planting during the spring and autumn in the arboretum, in the fruticetum, in the herbaceous grounds valley, in the flower garden, in the boundary borders and along the driveways. A feature of the herbaceous planting in the autumn was the setting of over twenty thousand bulbs of a large number of species in the flower gardens and boundary borders. These should afford a very attractive flower display in the early spring. The greenhouse collections have also been materially and satisfactorily increased, the most noteworthy accession being the large representative collection of cac- tuses and other desert plants obtained by Dr. J. N. Rose, who accompanied the scientific expedition of the United States Fish Commission steamer ‘Albatross’? to Lower California, organized by the American Museum of Natural History. Many West Indian species not heretofore repre- sented in our collections have been obtained by the several trips of exploration made to that region during the
i
The display labeling of plants both under glass and out- of-doors has proceeded uninterruptedly, several thousand additional labels having been painted. A source of annoy- ance in this connection has been the repeated thefts of lead labels from shrubs and trees, which has gone so far as to discourage the use of lead for this purpose, which is regrettable, because it makes by far the most attractive and permanent label. An anonymous gift of $100 from a kind friend of the Garden enabled us to do more out-door labeling than would otherwise have been possible.
The collection of Japanese cherry trees presented by Mrs. Florence L. Sturgis was planted in the early spring in proximity to the collection of cherry trees in the arbore- tum. Very fine healthy plants were secured, which im- mediately flowered profusely and were viewed with great pleasure by many visitors.
Contributions of money for the purchase of plants,
(8)
credited to the ‘“‘Plant Fund,” have been received as follows:

Natural Features
There has been no deterioration of the beauty and inter- est of the natural features of the reservation, except the death of all remaining chestnut trees except two individuals, out of the many hundreds which existed before the advent of the chestnut tree blight some years ago. The removal of the dead trees has required much careful work in avoiding damage to contiguous trees in the woodlands; the last of the dead trunks are being removed this winter. The ravages of this chestnut blight over a large area of the eastern and middle states is distressing and it is a keen disappointment that the resources of modern science have as yet proved entirely inadequate to prevent the spread of this remarkable disease.
Somewhat more frequent patroling of the wild portions of the Garden has been possible, with excellent results, but it is still desirable that this be considerably increased in efficiency by employing more guards.
Museums
No considerable modification has been made in the arrangement of museum objects, but a large number of new specimens, drawings and photographs have been inter- polated in the several collections, and much additional labeling has been done. Provision for some sixteen addi-
(9)
tional museum cases is made by a city appropriation, which will be installed partly in the economic museum and partly in the systematic museum. The collection of enlarged photographs from original negatives taken during explora- tion work mostly in the American tropics was installed on the walls of the systematic museum during the summer and is of much educational value, including 214 studies illus- trating characteristic trees, plant societies, fruits, flowers and other features. We have about 150 more photographs available to add to this collection which may be framed and installed.
A very interesting series of old Chinese paintings illus- trating the tea plant and methods of collecting and packing its leaves has been presented to the Garden by Dr. Reginald H. Sayre, and is herewith exhibited.
Herbarium
Additions to the herbarium include about 60,000 speci- mens, obtained principally from exploration work and by exchanges of duplicate specimens with other gardens and museums. Considerably more than one-half of the acces- sions have been mounted and distributed in the collection, so as to be available for the use of students and investi- gators. More additional herbarium cases, now greatly needed, may be obtained through a city appropriation for cases, but a considerable additional number will be needed in order to properly preserve future accessions to this most important scientific collection.
Contributions of money, credited to the “‘Museum and Herbarium Fund” and expended for the purchase of museum and herbarium specimens, were received during the year as follows:

The growth of the library has continued mainly by the aid of funds contributed by members and friends of the Garden. An increase of 639 volumes is recorded by the Librarian, the collection now aggregating 23,578 bound volumes.
Additional steel shelving, providing for some 5,000 volumes, is provided for, which will take care of the growth of the collection for several years.
This large and comprehensive collection of botanical and horticultural literature is attracting students and investiga- tors from all parts of the country and it is desired that efforts to further increase it be continued.
Contributions of money, credited to the “Special Book Fund” and expended for the purchase of books, were received during the year as follows:

The facilities for investigation supplied by the labora- tories were taken advantage of during the year by 27 special students and investigators, in consultation with various members of the staff, each person pursuing a different line of study. Monthly conferences of students and members of the staff have been held as formerly and a record of the subjects discussed at these conferences has been published in the Garden JournaL. Mr. A. B. Stout,
(11)
formerly of the University of Wisconsin, was appointed Director of the Laboratories by authority of the Scientific Directors on October 1, 1g11, succeeding Mr. Seaver, who had held that position for several years and who was at the same time transferred to a curatorship. Details of labora- tory work are presented in Mr. Stout’s report, which is hereto appended. There have been no applications during the year by botanists for the privilege of occupying the laboratory at Cinchona, Jamaica, maintained by us in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture of that island, but a party of entomologists from the American Museum of Natural History and another party of entomolo- gists from Harvard University were given the privileges of this station during the year.
Lectures and Teaching
The system of Saturday afternoon public lectures at the museum building has been continued, commencing April 29 and closing October 28, to appreciative audiences, which have averaged somewhat larger than in previous years. The list of titles of these lectures appears in the report of the Assistant Director. The attendance was well maintained quite to the end of the course and it is proposed to extend the system this year into the month of November. Lectures and demonstrations to children from the public schools were given during the spring; no essential change was made in the methods of presentation.
The provision for docentry made during the last half of 1910 has been continued throughout 1911 with excellent results, and is highly appreciated by those who have come within this system of instruction. Obser- vation of this work has convinced me that it is desirable to elaborate it, and it is planned to extend the appro- priation recommended for 1912 by assigning parts of this work to three different members of the staff, in addition to their regular duties, so as to have more docents available when occasion demands it. Inasmuch as the
(12)
docents have found it desirable to remain with visitors until quite late in the afternoon, but are not usually required before three o’clock, this method seems to be practicable and experiment will show whether it is satis- factory or not.
The present edition of the guide-book is sufficient for immediate purposes.
Floral Exhibitions
The cooperation with the Horticultural Society of New York in providing exhibitions of plants and flowers open to the public on Saturday afternoons and continued during Sundays following has been considerably elabo- rated, so that such exhibitions have been held monthly from June until October. They have been viewed by many thousands of visitors and have been wholly successful without the expenditure of much money, the appro- priation of $400 for prizes made in the budget for 1911 proving sufficient. Much interest in these exhibitions has been shown by enthusiastic friends of horticulture.
Exploration
By means of liberal contributions from members and friends of the Garden, the policy of conducting explora- tion work in regions botanically little known has been continued with great advantage to the collections, and important contributions to knowledge have been thus secured. Work in western and central Cuba was accom- plished by myself during the latter part of February and the month of March, assisted by Mrs. Britton and by Mr. John F. Cowell, Director of the Buffalo Botanic Garden. Dr. J. K. Small, Head Curator, explored por- tions of the Florida Everglades and of the Florida Keys during February; Mr. Percy Wilson, Assistant Curator, spent parts of December, 1910, and January, 1911, in western Cuba; Dr. J. A. Shafer, Special Agent, explored portions of the difficult mountain region of eastern Cuba
(13)
during the early part of the year, and was again com- missioned in November for work in the extreme western part of Cuba.
Dr. P. A. Rydberg, Curator, visited southeastern Utah from the latter part of June until the end of August. In the autumn, Dr. J. N. Rose, Curator of Plants in the United States National Museum, was commissioned to accompany the expedition organized by the American Museum of Natural History for the exploration of the Lower Californian peninsula by means of the Fish Com- mission steamer “Albatross.”
This work has been mainly accomplished by contribu- tions to the “‘ Exploration Fund” as follows:

The surprisingly large number of unknown kinds of plants revealed by this expeditionary work especially in tropical America, abundantly warrants its continua- tion and expansion. Asa striking example of the results already reached, it may be recorded that not fewer than 400 species of plants new to science have already been detected in the island of Cuba alone, and there are large areas of that island difficult of access which still remain unvisited by botanists.
Investigations
The increased size of the collections and the increased and steadily increasing demands on the Garden for infor- mation and advice are now taxing the time of the staff to an extent which leaves most of us little opportunity for original investigation, though some is accomplished outside of regular hours of attendance. There is need for two more trained botanists, but present available funds are not sufficient to obtain them.
Visiting officers from universities, colleges and museums have taken advantage of the gollecnons and laboratories of the Garden for research.
During a six weeks’ absence from the Garden in the autumn I carried on studies of West Indian plants at the Royal Gardens, Kew, and at the British Museum of Natural History, and there solved a large number of interesting problems. Visits to American institutions have been made by other members of the sta
Research Scholarships and Aid for Students Research The following students have been aided by research scholarships and by grants from the income of the students research fund during the year.
(15)
Mr. W. W. Eggleston was awarded a scholarship in February to aid him in continuing his work upon the genus Crataegus.
Mr. A. LeRoy Andrews held a scholarship in July while monographing the Sphagnaceae for NortH AMERI- CAN Fora.
Professor Bruce Fink held a scholarship in August and September while studying certain genera of lichens and preparing a series of articles on this group for Myco- LOGIA.
Mr. R. C. Benedict held scholarships in August and November, preparing manuscript for NorrH AMERICAN Fiora on the subject of ferns.
Mr. William R. Maxon continued his monographic work on ferns for NortH AmerRicAN Ftora during the month of December with the aid of a scholarship grant.
Preservation of Native Plants
The accumulated income of the fund of $3,000, pre- sented to the Garden several years ago by the Misses Caroline and Olivia Phelps Stokes, now aggregates over $5,000. It is proposed to utilize this money for the illus- tration in color of certain wild flowers most needing protection from indiscriminate picking and to publish these colored illustrations with appropriate text in the Garden JouRNAL.
Public Exhibits
The Garden was given an alcove in the Budget Exhibit arranged by the Board of Estimate and Apportionment of the city in the autumn, and this was made up of screens on which maps, photographs and tabulated appropri- ations and expenditures were shown. At the Child Welfare Exhibit, held in February, a similar display was installed, with special reference to the occasion.
(16) Police Protection
The city police patrol of the Garden has been made somewhat more complete during the year by an additional officer, the area being now divided into two posts, the one east of the Bronx River, the other west, and a mounted officer has been supplied for part of the time. We have supplemented this protection by three keepers paid from our own appropriations throughout the year, and have detailed gardeners and laborers for this duty on Satur- days, Sundays and holidays and on late afternoons of other days during the summer. This force has pre- vented any serious damage or vandalism, though it has been by no means sufficient to prevent various annoy- ances to visitors and minor depredations. I was inter- ested during my recent visit to the Royal Gardens at Kew, England, to learn that twenty-four constables are there employed, and the area of Garden land at Kew is only a little larger than ours, and it is completely sur- rounded by a high wall and is closed during the night.
Administration
The details of administration, which become more numerous as the reservation becomes more fully developed and the collections increase, have been largely referred to Dr. W. A. Murrill, Assistant Director, and to Mr. R. S. Williams, Administrative Assistant, both acting under my immediate direction. The new construction work has been under my own immediate supervision, assisted by Mr. Arthur Corbett, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, and I have also supervised the installation of new collections, aided by the curators and by the Head Gardener. I have found a limited amount of time available for personal study of the collections and for the continued prosecution of investigations of the American flora and of the cactus family, largely in cooperation with Dr. J. N. Rose, of the United States National Museum.

Financial Considerations
The development of the Garden has been continuous since work was commenced in 1895 and has proceeded so rapidly through the expenditure of liberal construction appropriations by the city and by funds and appropriations by the Board of Managers for the formation and increase of the collections, that available funds for maintenance have not kept pace with their requirement. The budget herewith submitted contemplates an expenditure for 1912 of approximately $100,000, which is considerably less than the amount which could be expended to advantage at the present time. Appropriations aggregating $90,565 are pro- vided by the city, and the remainder needed from funds of the Board of Managers, which leaves us only about $14,000 available from these funds for educational and artistic purposes and for the increase of the collections, it being necessary to reimburse our general income account by some $6,000 borrowed from it in previous years. It is greatly desired that the income of the Garden from private sources should be materially increased.
Reports Appended Detailed accounts of the work accomplished during the year will be found in the appended reports submitted by the Assistant Director, the Head Gardener, the Head Curator of Museums and Herbarium, the Honorary Curator of the Economic Collections, the Director of the Labora- tories, the Librarian, and the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds, and a schedule of expenditures submitted by the Accountant. Respectfully submitted, N. L. Bairron, Director-in-Chief.

REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
To THE DrrecrTor-1n-CHIEF. Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year I9II.
Grounds and Buildings
The lawns and plantations suffered severely during the long droughts of spring and summer, when the water supply became so low that even the drinking fountains had to be turned off, but it is believed that little permanent injury was done. Owing to the dry weather in May, there was no recurrence of leaf-blight on the plane-trees, such as had affected them very seriously for the three previous seasons. Plant diseases and insect pests were successfully controlled by the usual methods. Painting, repairing, and artificial watering figured largely in the current expenditures of the year. The number of visitors continues to increase and their interest in the institution is evidenced in many ways.
Publications
The usual publications have been successfully continued during the year.
JOURNAL The Journat has been published for each month during the year, making a volume of 290 pages, with 3 plates and 47 figures.
Myco.ocia
This periodical has appeared on alternate months during the year, making a volume of 303 pages, with 22 plates and 5 figures. ‘Twenty-three species of fungi were illus- trated in their natural colors in this volume.
(19) BULLETIN
BuLieTin no. 25, with 120 pages, was issued March 16, 1911. It contains the annual reports of the Director-in- Chief and other officers for the year rgto.

The Torrey Botanical Club has met each month as usual in the morphological laboratory of the museum building.
The Horticultural Society of New York, in cooperation with the New York Botanical Garden, held exhibitions of plants and flowers in the museum building on June Io and 11, July 1 and 2, August 26 and 27, and September 16 and 17. Accounts of these exhibitions were published in the Journat for August and September.
The Municipal Engineers of the City of New York made a visit of inspection to the Garden on the afternoon of Saturday, June 17. At two o’clock, an illustrated lecture on “The Protection of Shade Trees” was given in the lecture hall of the museum building, and the remainder of the afternoon was devoted to the inspection of the buildings and grounds under the guidance of members of the Garden staf.
Personal Investigations
Attention has been directed chiefly to the collections of tropical gill-fungi in the herbarium of the Garden. Four articles on this subject, comprising fifty printed pages and containing descriptions of sixty-one species new to science, have been published during the year in Myconocia.
A number of colored illustrations of fleshy fungi for a series of articles appearing in Mycoxocia have been pre- pared under my direction, together with careful descriptive notes from the fresh specimens. Twenty-three species have been published in this series during the year.
Owing to the abundance of fleshy fungi during the autumn and the great public demand for information regarding edible and poisonous species, a set of colored
(23)
plates has been prepared under my direction for the swinging frames in the museum.
An expedition to the Pacific Coast to make a general collection of the larger fungi was undertaken in late autumn. Stops were made at various points in Washington, Oregon, and California, and very extensive and important collec- tions secured for the Garden herbarium.
Respectfully submitted, W. A. Murritt, Assistant Director.

REPORT OF THE HEAD GARDENER
Dr. N. L. Britron, Direcror-1n-CuieErF. Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year I9gII.
Systematic Plantations
Hersaceous Grounps. There have been grown in the herbaceous collections, including those at the nurseries, about 2,950 species and varieties. There are 125 beds in this tract, 2 having been added the past year, one for the Basellaceae, the other for the Loasaceae. There have been 392 individual show labels and 3 family signs added.
Fruticetum. About 1,700 specimens here represent about 727 species and varieties. There have been 250 show labels added.
SaLiceTum. In this collection there are 38 species and varieties, represented by about IIo specimens. 83 show labels have been prepared.
Decipuvous ARrBorETUM. There are about 280 species and varieties, including those native to the tract. 218 labels have been made.
Pinetum. The collection of conifers contains 274 species and varieties; there are 1,062 specimens. 40 show labels show have been added.
ViticeTuM. ‘There are 48 species represented here.
Conservatories. The collection of tender plants, in- cluding those at the propagating houses, represent about 207 families, 1,455 genera, and 8,450 species and varieties. The total number of plants in the conservatories is about 15,373.
Rance No.1. There have been 2,311 show labels added here. The collections comprise about 11,835 plants, dis- tributed in the houses as follows: no. 1, 224; no. 2, 468; NO. 3, 560; No. 4, 458; No. 5, 1,449; no. 6,679; no. 7, 1,007;
(25)
no. 8, 608; no. 9, 142; no. 10, 958; no. 11, 408; no. 12, 1,128; no. 13, 665; no. 14, 644; no. 15, 2,350; cellar, 87.
on the completion, early in the summer, of the additional houses at range no. 2, the contents of houses nos. 7 and 8 were transferred to one of the new houses there. This permitted a re-arrangement here of the desert collections which were becoming much over-crowded. The orpine family, the South African desert plants, the fleshy spurges, the desert bromeliads, and one genus of cactuses were placed in house no. 5. No. 6 was given to the collec- tion of century plants and other American desert plants, and such large specimens as could not be satisfactorily included in the families allotted to the different houses. Nos. 7 and 8 were allotted to the cactus family, the Cere- oideae were placed in no. 7, and the Opuntioideae and Pereskioideae in no. 8.
Rance No. 2. There have been 327 show labels added here. There are 3,538 plants, distributed in the houses as follows: west, 76; middle, 131; east, 63; west north and south, 1,112; east north and south, 2,140; runway, 16. The west north and south house, finished early in the past summer, contains the tropical dicotyledonous plants, those formerly in houses nos. 7 and 8 of range no. I. e en- largement of the east north and south house during the past summer permitted of a much better display of this collection, hitherto much over-crowded, and the incorpora- tion with it of many other ferns formerly at the propagating houses.
PropacaTinG Houses anp NursERIES. <A great amount of propagating has been performed here. The experi- ments being conducted under the direction of the Director- of-the-Laboratories has required the propagation of con- siderable additional material, and will demand much more in the future; this will tax the present facilities. Parts of houses 2 and 4 have been given over to this experimental work, and more room will be required in the near future. Large numbers of bedding plants have also been propagated
(26)
for the decorative collections, and constant propagation of new plants from the older specimens in the systematic col- lections is required in order to safeguard these. The plants in the propagating houses, including those in the cold frames, number 9,723. There have been received 1,402 packets of seeds, as follows: by gift, 46; by exchange, 1,287; collected on expeditions, 53; by purchase, 16. In addition to these, 961 packets have been collected from the collections to safeguard their integrity.
LaBELING, REecorDING, anD Hersartum. The details of this work have been attended to by one gardener and one aid. There have been 750 show labels repaired. In addition to this, the following new show labels have been made: arboretum, 218; herbaceous grounds, 383; economic garden, 40; morphologic garden, 20; west border, 181; salicetum, 83; fruticetum, 250; pinetum, 40; along drive- ways and paths, 152; conservatory decorative beds, 81; beds along path from the elevated approach to range no. I, 1IO$ conservatories, 2,598; total, 4,156.
Accession numbers 33,156 to 35,001 have been recorded, making a total of 1,846 accessions.
The following plants have been acquired: by gift, 748, valued at about $1,850.00; by exchange, 391; derived from seed, 2,284; collections made by members of the staff and others, 1,896; by purchase, 24,909 (including 22,000 bulbs) ; total, 30,228.
To the herbarium of cultivated plants 519 specimens have been added.
The following is the approximate number of kinds of plants in each collection: conservatory, 8,450; herbaceous, 2,950; fruticetum, 727; salicetum, 38; deciduous arbore- tum, 280; pinetum, 274; viticetum, 48; total, 12,767.
Miscellaneous Collections
MorpuHotocicaL GARDEN. This collection remains about as it was last year. Twenty group signs have been made for it.
(27)
Economic Garpen. This continues to be one of the most attractive features. Eleven show labels and 29 group signs have been made for it.
Desert Prants. The grouping of these plants, con- tained during the cold weather in the nearby conservatories, was the same as that of the previous year, the increased size of the collections, due especially to the growth of indi- vidual plants, making it necessary to considerably enlarge some of the beds. This same reason will make necessary the coming summer a further enlargement of the space required to accommodate these collections, which constitute one of the most attractive features in the court of con- servatory range no. I.
Conservatory Lity Poots. The display of tender lilies in the westerly pool was exceptionally fine the past season. The Paraguay royal water lily, Victoria cruziana, did un- usually well, making many flowers and maturing a number of seed pods. Twelve show labels were added.
Aquatic Garpen. There was the usual attractive dis- play of water lilies during the early part of the summer, but the shortage of water later considerably interfered with the appearance of this garden. The plantings of shrubs, trees and herbaceous plants which have been made in the border of this pond from time to time are now adding much to the beauty of the collections. Forty show labels have been placed here.
RuopopENDRON Banks. The groups of rhododendrons, planted the previous spring on the easterly bank of the west lake and on the nearby southerly bank, attracted much attention. Starting late in May, with the delightful pink blossoms of R. punctatum, through June with the flowers of R. catawbiense, and into July with those of R. maximum, there was a continuous profusion of flowers. Groups of the Madonna lily, Lilium candidum, planted the fall previous, did exceptionally well, making masses, during June, of the purest white in contrast with the dark green of the surrounding rhododendrons. Many more of these
(28 )
charming lilies have been planted the past fall. The general appearance of this bank has been greatly improved by extending out into it on the northern end the wild group of sassafras by adding more specimens secured in other parts of the grounds, and by adding plants of the Kentucky coffee-tree and of various species of thorns on the southern end, breaking up the flat appearance of the bank.
Oruer Decorative Piantations. Under this heading are grouped the flower garden to the north of conservatory range I, those at the elevated approach and west border, and a new flower garden installed along the path from the elevated approach to conservatory range I. This planting consists of a bed 10 feet wide on each side of the path; herbaceous plants were planted there this spring, including many annuals. The portions devoted to annuals were planted with bulbs during the fall, and will again receive annuals when the bulbs are done flowering next spring. 372 show labels have been made for these decorative beds, distributed as follows: conservatory, 81; west border, 181; new beds, rio.
General Horticultural Operations
The force for carrying on this work consisted of 2 fore- man gardeners, 20 gardeners, I apprentice, about 25 laborers, and 4 drivers during the open season. The details of the conservatory work have been under the direction of foreman gardener, Richard Richter; under him were 13 gardeners, I apprentice, and 1 laborer. The details of the outside work have been carried out by foreman gardener, John Finley, who has had under him 7 gardeners, 24 laborers, and 4 drivers.
In addition to the routine horticultural operations, the following new planting has been acomplished. During the spring, about 56 lilacs, derived from elsewhere in the grounds, were planted at the base of the retaining wall in the arboretum tract; 3 willows were placed along the main driveway in the salicetum; the woody plants in the
(29)
conservatory beds were rearranged, the surplus being used elsewhere on the grounds in decorative planting; the west border, north of the plaza, was entirely rear- ranged, and broadened in places; along the path from the elevated approach to conservatory range I new flower beds were developed; 2 pin oaks were planted along the main driveway in north meadows; a group of cornus was placed on the east shore of the middle lake; 5 white ash trees were planted along the approach to the Woodlawn Road bridge; the shrub planting on the bank in the neighbor- hood of the north bridge was completed; Japanese ivy was placed at the abutment of the Woodlawn Road bridge; the decorative bed of Jlex in the fruticetum was enlarged; the decorative groups opposite the pea family in the fruticetum were enlarged with shrubs of the same family.
The most important piece of planting during the spring was a group of 20 Japanese cherry trees in the little valley in the neighborhood of conservatory range 2. These trees were secured on Long Island, and were from 6 to 12 feet tall. They were transported by our own teams during the last of March, and were safely planted in their new home within 48 hours after removal from the ground at the nursery. They bloomed freely and have made a good growth during the summer.
During the fall, the shrub planting on the south side of the road at the Bedford Park entrance of the Southern Boulevard was rearranged, the material when spread out being sufficient to plant the entire open area between the road and the path; the Weigela triangle to the east of conservatory range I was rearranged, there being sufficient, when spread out, to cover the triangle; a bar- berry hedge was planted along the west side of the nur- sery; a privet hedge was placed around the manure en- closure at the nursery; a large group of thorns was planted in the west border near the end of the west lake; the natural planting along the south shore of the west lake,
( 30 )
in the neighborhood of the shelter station, was extended by adding groups of white birch, alders, and elders; around the shelter house was placed a groups of thorns and swamp rose; in the rhododendron banks the natural growth of sassafras trees was enlarged by adding more, and addi- tional groups of thorns and Kentucky coffee-trees were added for shade for the rhododendrons, and to relieve the flatness of the banks; catalpas were planted along the driveway to the east of the north bridge; the decorative group of cherries in the fruticetum near the lake bridge has been enlarged by about 50 plants; about 22,000 bulbs were planted in various parts of the grounds—in the differ- ent flower beds for early flowering effects, in the rhodo- dendron banks, among the shrubbery, and in the stone enclosure around the fountain at the foot of the approach.
Investigations
In addition to my ordinary duties, I have continued my studies upon the grasses for NortH AMERICAN F ora, and have submitted for publication manuscript for another part, including the remainder of the tribe Andropogoneae, the tribes Zoysieae and Tristegineae, and a part of the
tribe Paniceae.
Respectfully submitted, GeorcE V. Nasu,
Head Gardener.

REPORT OF THE HEAD CURATOR OF MUSEUMS AND HERBARIUM
Dr. N. L. Brirron, Director-1n-CuieErF.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year IgII.
The collections in my charge were developed and cared for on the plans and by the methods outlined in several of my former reports.
Specimens were received as follows:
By gifts and purchases..............00 00 ceuee 4,857 By exchanges..........0 0 cece cece ence cence 3,243 By exploration. ...... 0... cece eee 17,972
0) 6 BR ee 26,072
A total of 11,061 duplicate specimens were sent to other institutions and to individuals in exchange.
Museums
The general arrangement of the several public museums was not changed. Individual exhibits were rearranged, new ones were installed and miscellaneous specimens added.
Tue Fosstr Prant Museum was improved by the substitution of new or better specimens to replace old ones. These were labeled and many of the old labels in the floor cases were revised and reprinted. The data on the temporary labels in the wall cases were transcribed and copy prepared for permanent labels.
HE Economic MusEum was increased by the inter- polation of many specimens of drug-plants and food- plants, and by miscellaneous specimens throughout the various exhibits. An important addition to the exhibit of flavoring agents was a collection of photographs show- ing the methods of culture and of curing the vanilla bean. <A few large plates to illustrate the source, habit,
(32)
and other characters of various crude or refined plant- products were installed, and many more plates of a similar character are ready to be put in the cases as soon as labels are printed.
Tue Systematic Museum, which formerly embraced three distinct elements, was increased by one more. A Pianr Puorocrary Exuisit was installed. At present, it consists of 214 photographs 11 X 14 inches in size. They are contained in fifty large oak frames, some of which are divided by cross-bars into four compartments, others intosix. The photographs illustrate plant-societies, habits, and structure of the flowerless and the flowering plants. The frames containing these groups of photo- graphs occupy the piers between the casing of the large windows, and although the present arrangement is tenta- tive, it has been made, like the other elements of the sys- tematic museum, as far as possible, to bring related plant groups into proximity. About 150 more photographs have been made and furnished with printed labels so that they may be added to this exhibit as soon as more frames are available.
THE Synoptic CoLLECTION was increased by the addition of miscellaneous specimens which were obtained chiefly through the system of exploration the Garden is main- taining in tropical America.
HE Locar Fiora was increased by a few odd additions, and the fern collection was made complete by the installa- tion of the desiderata.
THe Microscope Exurpir remained the same as in the previous year except for some renovation and the im- provement of several of the specimens.
Herbaria The additions to the herbarium represent plants from nearly all parts of the globe, from the Arctic regions, the north and south temperate regions and from the tropics. The greatest increases were naturally from the geographical
(33)
regions where the Garden’s work is most active and in the plant-groups in which the members of the scientific staff are engaged in studying and monographing.
Only such specimens as were needed for the current and future work of the Garden were mounted and incorporated in the permanent collections. Consequently about 32,000 herbarium sheets containing approximately 60,000 speci- mens were added to the various divisions of the herbarium. Several hundred desirable specimens from the Morong Herbarium were mounted and incorporated in the Columbia University herbarium.
Investigations and Assistance
Dr. P. A. Rydberg, Curator, continued the general care of the collections of flowering plants and continued his monographic work on the Rosaceae for the Norra AmER- IcAN Fitora. He also carried onward his studies on the flora of the Rocky Mountain Region, publishing a paper in this connection in the Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Ciub, and prepared a report on the plants secured on two of Peary’s North Polar Expeditions. During the summer, Dr. Rydberg prosecuted botanical exploration in south- eastern Utah covering territory which had not bef:re been explored. A detailed report of this expedition was pub- lished in the November number of the JourNAL, and the plants collected have been mounted and are now being studied. On his return from the field, Dr. Rydberg visited the herbarium of the Missouri Botanical Garden in order to study their collections of Rosaceae in connection with the monographic work referred to above.
Dr. Marshall A. Howe, Curator, continued in charge of the collections of algae and hepaticae. The herbarium work under his direction has resulted during the year in adding to the collections about 4,600 mounted sheets of hepaticae and 400 sheets of algae. An important feature of this work has been the substantial beginning of the task of incorporating the Mitten and the Underwood collections
(34)
of hepaticae with the general hepatic collections of the Garden. In the museum work the most important feature has been the preparation of 214 enlarged photographs of plants and explanatory labels, a detailed account of which was published in the Journat for October. Dr. Howe has acted as an associate editor of the publications of the Torrey Botanical Club, and, in addition to a few reviews in Torreya, has published papers on “‘A Little-known Man- grove of Panama” and “Some Marine Algae of Lower California, Mexico.” He has also delivered three lectures in the Garden lecture course.
Dr. Arthur Hollick, Curator, continued in charge of the collections of fossil plants, and together with Mr. Edwin W. Humphreys who volunteered his aid, accomplished the changes and progress referred to on a previous page. Dr. Hollick delivered three public lectures on the regular Garden course, and published a half dozen papers dealing with both living and fossil plants, in various journals. He also acted as editor of the BULLETIN of the Garden. Leave of absence was granted Dr. Hollick up to May 7, and also from October 16 to the end of the year, so that he might assist the United States Geological Survey in studying and reportir? on the fossil flora of Alaska.
M.. red J. Seaver, Curator since October 1, has been largely occupied with work outlined in his last report as Director of the Laboratories. He has continued to act as editor of the Journax of the Garden, and, in Dr. Mur- rill’s absence, has also acted as editor of Mycotocia. A limited amount of time has been spent in the collection and study of the more inconspicuous and little-known microscopic fungi occurring in and about New York City. Some time has been spent in the study and naming of miscellaneous material sent in for determination, as well as the lower fungi collected by other members of the staff and himself, and in preparing this material for mounting. Critical studies have been carried on in certain groups of the discomycetous fungi, and in the family Trichosphaeri-
(35)
aceae, the latter being prepared for publication in Nort AMERICAN Fiora. He has also cooperated in minor details with Dr. Charles E. Fairman of Lyndonville, New York, in his monograph of the Lophiostomataceae, this work also being in connection with Norta AMERICAN FLora. A limited amount of time has been spent in cooperation with Dr. E. D. Clark in experimental work on the chem- istry of the heating of soils and its effect on the growth of plants.
Mr. Percy Wilson, Assistant Curator, completed his monograph of the family Rutaceae, which was published early in the year ina part of volume 25 of Norrn AMERICAN Fiora. Most of his time not occupied with other cura- torial work was devoted to the sorting, labeling and study of the large collections of Cuban plants resulting from the systematic exploration of that island. Mr. Wilson also prepared and installed the Garden’s portion of the Budget Exhibit of the City of New York. He also published several illustrated papers on American plants and spent the greater part of December in exploration in western Cuba.
Mrs. Britton voluntarily devoted the year to general correspondence for the upbuilding of the moss collection, thus arranging and making exchanges with European insti- tutions and individual bryologists, especially in order to secure specimens of species not represented in our collection, primarily in the various genera now being studied and monographed for NortH AMERICAN Fiora. She also spent some time at the Royal Gardens, Kew, England, and at the British Museum, studying their moss collection in con- nection with her work on NortH AMERICAN F Lora and in getting the geographical ranges and determinations of doubtful or unknown species of mosses, particularly from the West Indies.
The writer when not occupied with the curatorial routine and detail, devoted his time to monographic work in con- nection with NortH AMERICAN Fora, having finished and
(36)
printed the family Simaroubaceae in a part of volume 25 of that work early in the year. About five weeks of the winter were spent in exploration in tropical Florida, both on the Everglade Keys and in the lower Florida Keys. The collections made in these regions are now being studied and a report on the field work was printed in the JouRNAL for July and another paper concerning discoveries of an earlier expedition was published earlier in the year. Respectfully submitted, Joun K. Smatt, Head Curator of Museums and Herbarium.

REPORT OF THE HONORARY CURATOR OF THE ECONOMIC COLLECTIONS
Dr. N. L. Brirron, Drrecror-1n-CHIeEr.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year IgIl.
The increase in our collections during the year has been small, including only fifty-five specimens, attention having been chiefly directed toward the determination of un-named specimens already in the Museum. ‘The most noteworthy additions are twenty-eight specimens of rare drugs, a set of specimens representing the Guayule rubber industry and a cet of photographs representing the vanilla industry.
Considerable progress has been made during the year in the classification and determination of our large collec- tion of varnish resins, for which the label manuscript will soon be completed.
My own work during the year has centered largely upon the determination of a collection of Bolivian plants sent by the Commissioner of Agriculture of that Republic. Very many of these specimens represent timber woods and other economic products and it is hoped that, at a later period, we may add such specimens to our Museum collections.
During the latter part of the year, arrangements were completed for securing a contribution of a complete exhibit of perfumery materials.
Iam looking forward with interest to the rearrangement of some of our cases, which are now overcrowded, when the new cases now provided for shall be installed.
Respectfully submitted, H. H. Russy, Honorary Curator of the Economic Collections.

REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE LABORATORIES
Dr. N. L. Brrrron, Drrecror-1n-CuiEr. Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report. The position of Director of the Laboratories at the New York Botanical Garden was officially assumed by me on October 1, 1911. I was, however, on the ground and at work during the two weeks preceding that date.
The Laboratories
The room on the upper floor of the museum building known as the Morphological Laboratory has been refitted and arranged as a general laboratory for research in mor- phology and cytology. This task took several weeks of my time. Six working desks have been installed, gas connections have been made and Welsbach lamps and blue globe light filters provided. This equipment greatly facilitates microscopic studies, especially on cloudy days and in the hours of late afternoon, and is a provision which is necessary for the best results when high power objectives are in use.
Microtomes, paraffin ovens, and a drying oven have been placed on a large table near the center of the room. At the rear of the room the several wall cases contain the various reagents and chemicals needed for investigation in the laboratory. Shelving has been placed in the dark room which will be utilized chiefly as a store room. The chemical laboratory has also been overhauled in some degree with the aim of securing the best facilities for work.
In arranging the laboratories the equipment at hand was utilized to full extent. Almost no new apparatus has been purchased and the total expenditure for supplies has been small. The present equipment is quite adequate for the immediate needs. During the coming year some addi-
(39)
tional apparatus as well as working supplies will be neces- sary.
In addition to the laboratories, the space in the propa- gating houses set aside by your direction for the needs of our personal and student investigations has been utilized especially in connection with studies in plant breeding, plant pathology and variegation in plants. The facilities thus afforded have already proven indispensable and will be needed in greater degree as the investigations progress. In connection with the greenhouses, a work room would greatly facilitate the investigations.
Personal Investigations
Iam planning to complete certain lines of study regarding the grass root fungus, Sclerotium rhizodes. My report of previous work on this fungus is to be published soon as a research bulletin of the Wisconsin Experiment Station. There are certain phases of the investigations as to infection through the seed, etc., which are incomplete and which I wish to continue. I also desire to make observations on the occurrence of this fungus and if it is present the extent of the injuries it does here in the region about New York City.
During the winter months I am completing a special study begun at the University of Wisconsin on the nature and behavior of the structures bearing the hereditary factors in the cells of Carex aquatilis both in the somatic divisions and in the divisions which precede the formation of the germ cells. The chromosomes in this plant are favorable for exact study. It is my plan to hybridize Carex aquatilis with Carex stricta and if successful to study the nuclear phenomena in the hybrids.
own special interests and investigations will be directed chiefly to plant breeding. In the planning and the carrying out of my investigations, I am fortunate in having the cooperation of Professor R. A. Harper, of Columbia University.
(40)
The present plan for the investigations in plant genetics embraces the following aims:
1. To follow out certain definite lines of study. Already several lines of research are under way. Seeds have been collected, cuttings secured, seedlings started, etc., especially in reference to work on chicory, Ligustrum, and Mirabilis.
2. To grow a number of plants to determine from their behavior whether they are suitable for future experimenta- tion.
3. To provide problems in plant genetics for students who may desire such opportunity for investigation.
4. To secure and grow in a certain degree plants that are of peculiar and particular educational value in the study of plant genetics.
5. To supplement both by personal and student investi- gation, the field experimentation with necessary morpho- logical and cytological studies. This latter work can be done during the winter months when the actual growing of plants is confined to greenhouses.
Meteorological Records
In the taking and the recording of these records, I have followed the plan employed by the former Director of the Laboratories. I have supplied a monthly summary of the meteorological records for publication in the Garden JOURNAL.
Conference Meetings
Monthly conferences of the scientific staff and students of the Garden have been held as follows:
Acting under your direction, the last two conferences have been held on the first Monday instead of the first Wednesday in the month, and invitations bearing the date and program of each conference have been mailed to members of the botanical staff at Columbia University, Barnard College and the Teachers College.
A summary of the topics as presented at the conferences has been supplied for publication in the Garden Journat.
(41)
Morphological Grounds
Pursuant to your request, I am planning some extension to the collections of living plants in the Morphological Grounds. In addition to the present plantings I consider it of special interest (1) to grow plants that illustrate various methods of pollination, (2) to grow some of the “chimeras,” “graft hybrids” or so called ‘mixed fruits,” and (3) to exhibit certain hybrids that are of special educational value.
To the collection of marsh plants I wish to add a colony of Carex aquatilis for personal study as well as for the general interest which it may have.
Students and Investigators
The persons formally enrolled for investigation during the past year are included in the following groups:
1. Students in plant chemistry. Professor William J. Gies and Dr. Ernest D. Clark, of the Biochemical Depart- ment of Columbia University, offer a course in the chemical physiology of plants, which is given at the chemical laboratory of the Garden. Professor Gies also visits the Garden laboratory in the capacity of consulting chemist to advise with any persons having problems in plant chemistry.
2. Research students in botany from Columbia Uni- versity. Professor R. A. Harper, Torrey Professor of Botany at Columbia University, is present at the labora- tories during a part of each week and I am cooperating with him in assisting and advising his students who are working at the Garden laboriatores.
3. Investigators holding scholarships.
4. Students registered only at the Garden and pursuing investigations independently or under direction of various members of the Garden staff.
Besides the above there have been many persons whose studies in the herbaria, library, laboratories or grounds have not been sufficiently extended to warrant formal enrollment as students.
(42)
In the following list, the more complete biographical data are given for new students only. For all others, only the degree, the position held at present or last held, and the problem which is under investigation are recorded.

REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
Dr. N. L. Brrrron, Drrecror-1n-CHIEF. Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1911.
Regulating and Grading
The greater portion of this work was done on the eastern side of the Bronx River. The section north of Power House No. 2, running about goo feet north from the eastern driveway to the Garden line of the Boulevard, was graded and the top surface sown with grass seed. The surplus of this was used in the low land to the west. The section between Conservatory Range No. 2 and Power House No. 2 was graded, top dressed, and sown with grass seed.
The valley around the Japanese Cherry Tree Collection was prepared for planting and both sides of the new road leading from the stable road to the Boulevard were graded and prepared for grass seed.
5,000 cubic yards of soil have been filled in on the north side of the Scott Avenue Bridge. This soil was carted in by contractors doing work outside the Garden, who were looking for a convenient dumping place, the same being delivered and graded to our satisfaction at the contractors’ expense.
We excavated about 150 cubic yards of soil for the foun- dation of an additional section of Conservatory Range No. 2. This ground was used in grading the eastern side of the conservatories. We extended the Nursery to a distance measuring about 150 by 200 feet by taking in part of the swamp section lying to the west of service path. We removed 3,103 loads of earth, 4,199 loads of top soil and 4,307 loads of stone were moved and used in building paths.
(47)
Drainage In this class of work we have laid about four hundred feet of six-inch pipe on the western side of the new road, also four catch-basins on the western side of the new road and three catch-basins on the eastern side. We have extended the twelve-inch pipe drainage of Power House No. 2 seventy-five feet toward the river.
Roads and Paths
The unfinished path, about 850 feet long, on the northeast end of the Garden was surfaced with screenings and 465 feet of unfinished path on the north side of the stable was also screened. A path goo feet long and ten feet wide was constructed north of Power House No. 2 and is now ready for screening. To the north of the Chestnut Bridge and on the east side of the Bronx River a path 860 feet long with a branch of 250 feet was built and is now ready for surfacing. A two-hundred-foot path running west of the Chestnut Bridge has been constructed and is now ready for screening. Running north from Long Bridge a path 1,350 feet long has been constructed on the east side of the river. Part of this path runs along the water edge with a wall five hundred feet long and five feet high, which is now ready for screening.
In the section of the Japanese Cherry Tree Collection a 1,235-foot path has been completed, and 312 feet of path completed around the north side of Conservatory Range No. 2.
1,550 feet on the east side and 1,350 feet on the west side of the new road and twenty-six feet of cross-path have been constructed and are now ready for screening. A path 180 feet long has been completed at the Propagating Houses. A ten-foot cross-path twenty-five feet long has been con- structed in the Fruticetum and is ready for surfacing. A cross-path 65 feet long has been completed in the upper end of the Economic Garden.
We have constructed 8,453 feet of new paths and 1,292 feet of this amount are completed.
(48 )
Extension of Water Supply About eight hundred feet of six-inch water pipe have been laid on the west side of the new road. One fire- hydrant and four hose-taps were connected to the main.
Guard Rails
An addition of 5,220 feet of one-inch guard rail two rails high have been erected on the edges of paths and trails in the Hemlock Grove. About four hundred feet of one-inch rail two rails high have been erected along the path on the south side of Lake No. 1. On paths leading to the South Gate, we have erected about 850 feet of one-inch one-rail fence and about 450 feet of one-inch one-rail fence on the path leading from the Elevated Approach to Conservatory Range No. 1 and 355 feet of one-inch one-rail fence on the north side of the zooth street path. Around the beds in front of Con- servatory Range No. 1, we have erected 800 feet of three- quarter-inch pipe fence one rail high,
Buildings
The interior of Conservatory Range No. 1, houses nos. 1, 6, 7, 8, and g have been painted. In house no. 1, ascaffold was erected eighty-four feet high, which enabled the painters to accomplish the work. The basement of the museum building was also painted. All necessary repairs were made by the carpenters in advance of the painting of Conservatory Range No. 1. Two herbarium cases and two bookcases have been built for the herbarium. Consider- able repairing has been done throughout the buildings of the Garden by the mechanics.
A concrete floor has been constructed in the carriage house fourteen feet six inches by twenty-seven feet six inches; and two concrete approaches, one ten by twenty- seven feet and the other ten by fourteen feet six inches. A Fairbanks scale for weighing purposes has been erected near Power House No. 1.
We have purchased one horse and carriage complete.
(49)
The expenditures during the year for feed, the shoeing of horses, repairing harness, and minor details have amounted to $1,017.28.
Grounds
Except during the months of July and August we had one City officer to protect our grounds. On Sundays and holidays during these months we have had an additional mounted officer who patrolled the Hemlock Grove in the afternoons and evenings. We have also had two special keepers protecting the grounds with an addition of ten guards on Sundays and holidays during the summer months. The average number of visitors during the warm months averaged about 20,000, with the exception of the first two Sundays in July when that number was greatly increased. Owing to the vigilance of the employees there has been little damage done to the plantations this season.
Owing to the scarcity of water and the dry season of this year the Water Department notified us that all water fountains in the Garden must be cut off. They allowed us later the use of two drinking fountains for visitors.
During the drought the Upper Lake and the Aquatic Garden became dry. It was necessary, therefore, to pur- chase a gasoline engine and pump, and about 780 feet of pipe to pump water from the Bronx River into the Upper Lake. We pumped at the rate of 4,500 gallons an hour at an average of fourteen hours each day, six days a week. We allowed the water to flow at intervals from the Upper Lake into the other lakes.
We are now using the same engine for sawing cord-wood, which is to be used for heating the propagating houses.
Respectfully submitted, ArtTuur J. CorBetrt, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds.

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SCIEN- TIFIC DIRECTORS
To tHe Boarp or Manacers or tHE New Yorx Bo-
TANICAL GARDEN.
Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit the following re- port from the Scientific Directors for the year IgII.
The meetings of the Board have occurred regularly during the year and the scientific work of the Garden has proceeded without interruption
Among the events of special interest, may be mentioned the expedition of the U. S. ship “Albatross” to the Pacific coast of Mexico, upon which the Garden was represented, and by which its collections were greatly enriched. The Cactaceae obtained on this expedition were specially note- worthy, in connection with the study of this family, on which the Director-in-Chief is now engaged. A number of excellent colored drawings of cactuses have been made by Miss Eaton, who is still engaged in this work.
With the appointment of Dr. Robert A. Harper as Professor of Botany at Columbia, and his consequent addition to our Board, the Garden staff has been further strengthened by the appointment as Director of the Laboratories, of Mr. A. B. Stout, Professor Harper’s former associate at the University of Wisconsin. Impor- tant improvements in the equipment of our laboratories have been made under Mr. Stout’s direction.
Our explorations of the year have included, besides the expedition of the “‘Albatross” to western Mexico, already mentioned, one to Cuba by the Director-in-Chief, another to the same island by Dr. Shafer, one by Dr. Murrill to the Pacific coast of the United States, one into Utah by Dr. Rydberg, and we cooperated in one to the Caicos and Turks Islands by Dr. Millspaugh, and one into the south- eastern United States by Professor Ezra Brainerd, for the
(66)
special study of the genus Viola. The Director-in-Chief has also spent some time in Europe, in the study of critical species.
The reception that continues to be accorded our publica- tions is gratifying to the Directors, both from a financial and a scientific viewpoint. Several of these publications in 1911 have been of exceptional value.
Scientific data of considerable importance have been obtained by special students during the year, from the collections in our economic museum.
The educational work of the year, in addition to that recorded by the Director of the Laboratories, has included the usual spring and fall lectures to school children and public lectures during the summer, as well as in the spring and autumn, as heretofore, the attendance at all of which has shown a satisfactory increase. Interest in the work of the docent in guiding visitors about the Garden, has greatly increased during the past year, so that it is thought desirable to assign a second officer to this duty. The installation of large photographs, representing important types of the world’s vegetation, upon the walls of the Museum, is regarded a work of great educational impor- tance.
A plan has been inaugurated for continuing the work for the preservation of our wild flowers, through the publication in the Garden Journat of colored plates of those species regarded as being in greatest danger of destruction, with notes upon their life history and sugges- tions as to their protection.
Mr. Norman Taylor, one of our energetic assistant curators, has been called by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to become the assistant of Dr. Gager, the Director of that institution.
Dr. Arthur Hollick has been absent during half of the year, by permission of the Board, to assist the United States Geological Survey in its study of Alaskan fossil plants.
(67 )
At the October meeting, Dr. William Gies, in association with the Chairman, was appointed a delegate to the Eighth International Congress of Applied Chemistry, which will convene in September next, in Washington and New York.
In commenting upon the slight increase in the city appropriation for maintenance during the year 1912, we have to say again, as we did last year, that much of the scientific work of the Board, during the year 1911, has been made possible only through the liberal response to the appeal of the Director-in-Chief for special contributions.
Respectfully submitted, H. H. Russy,
Chairman.

REPORT OF THE SPECIAL AUDITOR
TREASURER’S ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR IQII 66 Broapway, New York, February 15, 1912.
James A. Scrymser, Esquire,
Chairman of the Finance Committee,
New York Botanical Garden, New York City.
Sir: This is to certify that I have, by your direction, examined the books and accounts of the Treasurer of the New York Botanical Garden for the year nineteen hunded and eleven (1911), together with their proper vouchers, and that I find the balance sheet and the Treasurer’s Statement of Receipts and Disbursements, attached hereto, to be correct.
I have also examined the various Investment Securities, and find the same to be as reported in the said Balance Sheet.
Respectfully submitted, (Signed) J. L. Merritt, Special Auditor.

DIRECTOR-IN-CHIEF’S ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR tog1I
66 Broapway, New York, February 15, 1912. James A. Scrymser, Esquire, Chairman of the Finance Committee, New York Botanical Garden, New York City.
Sir: This is to certify that I have, by your direction, examined and audited the financial books and accounts of the Director-in-Chief of the New York Botanical Garden for the year nineteen hundred and eleven (1911), and that I find the same to be correct and the Cash Balance to be as stated in the Current Cash Book.
This auditing does not include the examination of the vouchers for either City Maintenance or Construction Work, paid for by the City, such vouchers having been found proper and in order by the City authorities and you having decided in 1904 that a further examination of them by me was un- necessary.
I have omitted, also, a detailed examination of the Annual Membership Dues Account, as per like instructions in 1904. These dues are received by the Director-in-Chief and for- warded by him to the Treasurer, the former keeping a detailed record of the same.
Respectfully submitted, (Signed) J. L. Merrit, Special Auditor.

New Species from Bolivia, Collected by R. S. Williams—2* By H. H. Russy, M.D.
Note-—The present publication will not complete the enumera- tion and description of Mr. Williams’ new species. The ferns, grasses and orchids have not yet been studied. Quite a number of species are regarded as undescribed, but must wait for additional data. Several genera will also require description. It is proposed to take up these plants, together with a number of my own col- lection of 1885-1887, of Mr. Bang’s, and other Bolivian collectors, in a future publication.

The Polyporaceae of Mexico By Witiiam A. Murriti
The polypores of Mexico were known to Fries chiefly through the collections of Liebmann ea however, made no specialty of this group of plants. The E llis Collection at the New York Botanical Garden contains a number of Mexican specimens col- lected by Charles L. Smith in 1891-92. The private herbarium of Dr. N. Patouillard at Paris contains a small collection of polypores sent to him from Mexico by Paul Maury about fifteen years ago. In addition to the foregoing, a few specimens have been picked up from time to time by collectors of flowering plants and by other explorers, and these are scattered through various herbaria.
The list given below, comprising all the species of Polyporaceae known to occur in Mexico, with the exception of a few white or bright-colored resupinate forms, is prepared chiefly from my own nn there in 1909 and 1910, and all the numbers cited are
wn. Species not found by me are listed in their proper order, ae collectors’ names being given. The few species that are still insufficiently known are termed doubtful, and listed under the old genera as published.

Additions to the Paleobotany of the Cretaceous Formation on Long Island. No. IH
By Artuur Hottiickx (Plates 162-170) INTRODUCTION
Three previous papers, dealing directly or indirectly with the Cretaceous flora of Long Island, were published by the writer,* all of which, together with a number of contributions to the Cre- taceous flora of the adjacent islands, were subsequently revised and were included in and issued in the form of a single quarto volume.t In this monograph the general stratigraphic relations of the insular plant-bearing horizons may be found fully described and discussed and, as no additional information in relation to the subject has since been acquired, any extended remarks in such connection in this paper do not seem to be necessary.
Subsequent to the time when the above-mentioned monograph went to press, however, a considerable amount of new paleo- botanical material was collected from Staten Island, Martha’s Vine- yard and Long Island, which latter it is the object of the present paper to describe. Some of the specimens were obtained from the clay outcrop in the beach a short distance west of the Glen Cove steamboat dock, where the bulk of the previous collections were made; but the larger part was found on the east side of Nlanhasset Neck, in the vicinity of Roslyn, in J. B. King & Co.’s gravel pit—a locality not before examined for fossil plants.
This pit is excavated in the Manhasset gravels, which constitute the major formation of the deeply dissected, early Pleistocene ter-

race, extending northward from the terminal moraine to the shores of Long Island Sound and its harbors. A description of the geology of this area, including a discussion of the exact geologic age of the Manhasset gravels, and excellent views of sections of the pit above mentioned, may be found in a paper by J. B. Woodworth,* to which the writer would respectfully refer those who may be inter- ested in the Pleistocene geology of the locality.
The specimens described were all obtained from the ferruginous shale and sandstone constituents of the gravel, representing fragments and masses of Cretaceous clay and sand which were eroded from the parent beds, hardened by oxidation of the in- cluded iron, and ultimately worn into the rounded cobblestones and boulders of the Manhasset deposits. The largest Cretaceous fossiliferous boulder thus far brought to light anywhere on Long Island was found in this pit. It was about two cubic feet in mass, and on one of its exposed surfaces were quantities of beautifully preserved leaf impressions. This surface was separated from the main mass and is now in the paleobotanical collection of the Garden. A photograph of a portion of itis represented by Plate 162.
The writer gratefully acknowledges his indebtedness to Mr. George R. King for courtesies extended, and for facilities placed at his disposal, while engaged in collecting at and in the vicinity of the gravel pit. Also to Mr. Howard J. Shannon, of Jamaica, N. Y., for freely placing at his disposal specimens personally collected at the Glen Cove locality. The writer also enjoyed the pleasure and benefit of the companionship of Mr. Edward W. Berry and Mr. Arthur B. Bibbins, of the Maryland Geological Survey, and Professor Edward C. Jeffrey, of Harvard University, during part of the time spent in the field.
Ail of the specimens described in this paper are included in the paleobotanical collections of the New York Botanical Garden. DESCRIPTIONS OF SPECIES CYCADACEAE PopoZAMITES LANCEOLATUS (Lindley & Hutton) F. Braun PLATE 162, in part; PLare 163, Fics. 2,

Previous to the discovery of the specimens which are the subjects of our illustrations only a single leaflet of this species was recorded from Long Island, which was referred to P. angustifo- lius.* The aggregation of specimens shown on Plate 163, Figs. 2, 3, however, which are all included in the single large piece of matrix represented, in part, by Plate 162, indicate a great diver- sity in the shape and size of the leaflets and, did they not occur so closely associated together, might well be regarded as belonging to two different species—the broader ones referable to P. lanceo- latus and the narrower ones to P. angustifolius (Eichw.) Schimp.
= P. Knowltont Berry);{ and in this connection it is interesting to note that Newberry{ grouped together a closely similar lot of specimens, from the Cretaceous of New Jersey, under P. angusti- folius, with the following qualifying remark: “In general appear-
ance these leaves are not unlike some of the many forms of P.
lanceolatus, but are usually longer, narrower, and more flexuous in
outline.” One of Newberry’s specimens (Newb., doc. cit., f. 2) un- doubtedly belongs to the latter species and, judging from a com- parison of all of the material now available, the conclusion may be justified that probably one species only (P. lanceolatus) is repre- sented by all of the specimens mentioned from New Jersey and
Long Island.

These are the first specimens which I have seen from Long Island which are clearly referable to this species as distinguished from the one next following.

Van Ingeni Hollick* which, however, is more flexuous in outline, midrib, and secondary nervation than is the species in question. Possibly, if an entire leaf, or one in which the summit is preserved, should be discovered, it might be necessary to describe our specimens under a new specific name, but hardly under any genus other than Ficus.

Although the base of our specimen is ae there can be hardly any doubt in regard to its identity with this species, espe- cially when compared with Newberry’s figures 3 and 5, plate 23 (doc. ctt.).
It is interesting to find another of the characteristic Amboy Clay species represented in the Cretaceous flora of Long Island.

I have been unable to identify this leaf satisfactorily with any living or extinct genus with which I am familiar; but the family relationship appears to be with the Proteaceae, so far as the nervation is concerned. Many of the broad leaved species in certain genera belonging to this family possess the type of nerva- tion indicated in our specimen, and for purposes of comparison I have depicted (see Plate 165, Figure 2) a leaf of Embothrium grandiflora R. Br., a living Peruvian species, with which the relationship of our specimen is presaged in the name adopted.

This ae is Saute abundantly represented in the Cretaceous flora of Long Island, and the leaves vary greatly in size, as may be seen by comparison between the fragment of the large one shown in Figure 4 and the complete small one shown in Figure 3. These two specimens represent the largest and the smallest specimens thus far found. The former must have had a diameter of at least 4.5 dm., while the latter has a diameter of only 4.75 cm.

perfect for definite identification. More or less satisfactory com-

This is the first specimen of the species thus far reported from Long Island and, fortunately, it is well preserved and almost perfect, except for the extremity of the tip, which is missing. It is somewhat larger than any of the specimens figured by Newberry, and appears to have been somewhat more attenuate at the summit; but in all essential characters it is identical.
Figure 2, on Plate 167, is reproduced from a drawing of the specimen included in Plate 162, and is designed to show the details of nervation which are not very clearly defined in the photograph.

This is the second specimen recorded from Long Island which has been referred to this species. The first one was found at Glen Cove,* and it is in about the same condition of preservation as the one now figured. The question may be raised whether either of these specimens should be regarded as specifically identical with the narrower and more acutely lobed leaves depicted by Les- quereux (loc. cit.); but other authorities, notably Newberry, have referred such a diverse series of forms to the species that it seems justifiable to also include ours.

ne is with some hesitation that I have decided to include in this species the specimen represented by Figure 6, Plate 170, on account of its length, which was evidently about twice that of any other specimen heretofore figured. Also, the lower portion is missing; but the shape of the upper part and the characters of the nervation are identical with those of Figure 5 on the same plate, the iden- tity of which can hardly be questioned. It is also a significant fact that both of our specimens occur in close juxtaposition, in the same piece of matrix.

This species is exceedingly difficult to distinguish from certain leaves which have been identified as, or referred to Laurus plutonia Heer, by various authors. If, however, they are to be regarded as distinct species, our specimen is undoubtedly identical with Newberry’s figure 12 (loc. cit.).
The species has not heretofore been recognized in any of the Long Island coilections, but a leaf from Block Island, which was referred by me to Laurus plutonia,t might well be included in Laurophyllum lanceolatum in accordance with my present inter- pretation of the species.

This leaf has very much the appearance of the specimen from the Lower Atané beds of Greenland which Heer doubtfully refers to his Cassia antiquorum.* Inasmuch, however, as he considers this species to be identical with his Leguminosites cassiaeformis,t which it in no way resembles, so far as the figures are concerned, J have thought it advisable to regard our specimen as representing a new species and to give it a name indicative of the region where it was found
Incidentally, if Heer’s two names are synonymous, and refer to but one species, the name of the species should be written Cassia cassiaeformis (Heer).

I have referred this specimen to the above variable species with considerable hesitation, for the reason that one of the most promi- nent characters, the emarginate apex, is not preserved. The nervation, however, is identical with that of the genus and the specimen may be compared with the one figured by me from Martha’s Vineyard (Hollick, loc. cit., pl. 22, f. 7)
The systematic position of the genus has always been in doubt

and has been the subject of discussion by many different authori- ties. Newberry, who founded the genus, regarded it as closely allied to Liriodendron,* largely on account of the emarginate apex. This feature, however, is equally characteristic of many genera of Leguminosae which also possess nervation exactly comparable with that of Lirtodendropsis, as for example in Cassia Fistula L.,t and the consensus of opinion now seems to be that it is this family in which the genus should be included.
Only one other specimen of the species has thus far been identi- fied from Long Island (Hollick, loc. cit., pl. 26, f. 15), and this one is quite different in size and form from the one now figured.

This specimen, although fragmentary, shows the characteristic emarginate apex and general shape of the species. In one or another of its many diverse forms it is one of the most abundant species in the Cretaceous deposits of Long Island and vicinity, and those who may be interested in the genus may find numerous figures of this and allied species, with descriptions and citations, in a previous work by the writer.

Only one fragment of this variable species has been heretofore recorded from Long Island,* although many specimens have been found on the neighboring islands and in New Jersey. Heer included a considerable variety of forms under the species, and other writers have followed suit, so that it would be quite possible to differentiate more than one variety or species from among them.

I have thought it advisable to regard this specimen as a variety of the species, on account of its greater relative width as compared with others of about the same length. It resembles the fragment depicted by Heert from the Lower Atané beds of Greenland, but his figure is too imperfect for satisfactory comparison.

Credneria macrophylla Heer, Neue Denkschr. Schw. Gesellsch. Naturwissensch. 23? (Kreide-Fl. Moletein): 16, pl. 4. 1869. This specimen, except for its smaller size, is identical with the
type of the species as figured by Heer, both in nervation and in
the strikingly thick midrib; but, unfortunately, neither in the type or in our specimen is the upper part of the leaf preserved.
It is also somewhat suggestive of Populus hyperborea Heer,* especially when compared with his pl. 29, f. 9, pl. 30, f. 2b, and pl. a1, f. ra (loc. cit.), but is larger and has much more robust nervation and midrib.
The botanical relationships of the genus Credneria are not known and have been the subject of discussion ever since the time when the genus was first described,t and a number of writers since then have suggested its affinity with the Salicaceae, Urti- caceae, Hamamelidaceae, Polygonaceae, or some other widely separated family.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY AND DIRECTOR- IN-CHIEF FOR THE YEAR 1912 (Accepted and ordered printed, January 13, 1913) To THE Boarp or Manacers or THE New York
BoTANICAL GARDEN.
Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit herewith my report as Secretary and Director-in-Chief for the year ending January 13, 1913.
Construction work has been continued during the year by means of city appropriations aggregating $49,800, made in 1911, and by small unexpended balances of previous city appropriations. No new city appropriations for construction were made during 1912. Some minor works were accom- plished by the labor force under pay from appropriations of Garden funds.
Grading, drainage and the construction of additional paths have been continued; the additional greenhouse at public conservatory range no. 2, the contract for which was awarded late in 1911, was completed during the summer; work on the construction of the boundary fence and wall along the Bronx Boulevard on the eastern side of the grounds, commenced during the summer through a Park Department contract, has been continued and the work is now about one half completed, the contractor having been exceedingly dilatory and having already been favored by one extension of time; a pergola on the east side of the herbaceous garden has been under construction for several months and is about two thirds finished; two retaining walls at the Bedford
171)
(172)
Park Avenue entrance were commenced by a contractor during late summer and are still unfinished, this contractor also having far exceeded his specified time. Altogether, the experience during the last year with these contracts has been disappointing, but the work so far accomplished with them is of good quality, and it is hoped that all the work under contract may be completed in the spring. The collections in all departments have been materially increased by gifts, purchases and exchanges. The older plantations have been maintained and, in some cases, slightly modified by addition and substitution, and additional plantations have been established. Direct educational work with the public has been continued by means of lectures and by docents, and nature-study lectures and demonstrations to children from the public schools have been given. Advanced students have carried out researches over a wide range of subjects, and members of the staff have accomplished considerable investigational work. The publications have been con- tinued. The number of visitors has apparently been greater during 1912 than during any previous year.
Grading and Drainage
The knoll of rock just north of the museum building has been further leveled and the rock used for the Telford foundations of paths in various parts of the grounds, so that not much of it now remains; earth and top soil for form- ing the final surface here has been brought from points within the grounds where it was not needed, and some top soil has been carried here by contractors from without the grounds for the privilege of dumping. Considerable prog- ress has been made on the north side of the approach to the Woodlawn Road entrance by permitting contractors, without cost to the Garden, to dump surplus earth and rock into the marsh which existed there; and the sub- surface for paths and planting has also been mostly accom- plished in this way. Some 15,000 cubic yards of material having thus been obtained during last year and the year
(173)
before, little of the marsh is now remaining. Filling has been accomplished at several points in the north meadows, in continuation of the elimination of marshy areas there. The old reach of the Bronx River south of the east end of the Boulder Bridge, partly reclaimed in former years, was nearly completely reclaimed. Considerable grading was done around power house no. 2 on the east side of the grounds, and along the river road and path on the east side of the Bronx River north of the Long Bridge.
Additional drain-pipe was laid and additional catch- basins built at several points.
Roads and Paths
The only piece of new road constructed was about 150 feet along the eastern side of the propagating houses. The new road through the arboretum, mentioned as nearly com- pleted in my last two annual reports, remains unfinished, although material for its surfacing, all that is now required to open it to the public, has been at hand. ‘The delay in opening it has been caused by the entrance at the south- eastern corner of the grounds, which has been used both for this driveway and for the driveway running southwest through Bronx Park, soon passing south of the boundary of the Garden, being as yet unfinished, and also by the fact that the Bronx Boulevard, bounding Bronx Park to the east, has not yet been paved. We have hesitated about opening this new road before the paving of the Bronx Boulevard is accomplished, because it would turn vehicles abruptly from a stone road on to a dirt surface, which in wet weather becomes very muddy. Not more than two weeks’ work with a steam roller and a gang of men and a few carts will be necessary to complete this road when the proper time arrives.
About 2,000 lineal feet of paths 10 feet wide have been completely built and opened during the year, and over 3,600 feet of paths averaging 10 feet wide, of which the Telford foundation was previously laid, have been surfaced
(174)
and opened to the public. Considerable areas of paths built in previous years which had become worn were resurfaced, and the system of paths, so far as completely constructed, is now in good condition.
The path system as planned is now approximately four fifths completed, and of the one fifth remaining, nearly one half is partially built. We shall have to wait for additional city appropriations for the means to finish the system, inasmuch as available funds have now been exhausted.
The guard rails placed along path edges in previous years have served to protect natural woodlands and thickets and grass-borders in a satisfactory manner. ‘These have been supplemented during the past year by about 10,000 running feet of similar railing in various parts of the grounds. Much more of this railing is required for the complete pro- tection of all places requiring it, and an appropriation for this purpose has been asked from the Board of Estimate and Apportionment.
During the summer, the Park Department was able to restore the badly worn driveway surfaces and, at present, the roads are all in relatively good condition. This repair work has been highly appreciated by all who have used the driveways.
Bridges
The three stone driveway bridges and the Boulder Bridge are all in good order, having been pointed during the year where necessary. At some time when funds are available it is desirable that the curb lines of the Long Bridge be reset, because by the settlement of the filling between the arches the curb stones have been moved slightly out of a true curve.
The plan for the additional permanent foot-bridge required near the southern end of the north meadows, pre- sented at the last annual meeting, was subsequently ap- proved, and may be constructed when an appropriation is made for this purpose by the city. Meanwhile the chestnut bridge built on this site will serve.
(175)
The old wooden bridge below the water-fall, mentioned in my last annual report as now unnecessary since the building of the concrete bridge across the Bronx gorge nearby, has not yet been removed, but may be at such time as the Commissioner of Parks agrees to its demolition.
Water Supply
No change has been made during the year in the water supply system, inasmuch as no funds have been available for its extension. In our application for additional con- struction funds made a year ago, an item of $2,000 was included to provide funds to complete all necessary water supply to grounds and buildings, and when this sum becomes available the system may be completed.
Buildings
As the buildings become older, the necessary annual maintenance expenses increase. This is notably the case in the steam distribution system, aggregating many miles of piping. Almost the entire appropriation for repairs and renewals was required last year for this work; and replace- ments of steam pipe must go on continuously. A larger appropriation is available for this year. Part of the repairs necessary are made by our steam engineers, but we are obliged to call in help to remedy any serious breakdown.
Provision is also made in the appropriation for 1913 for pointing portions of the museum building and resetting a part of its terra-cotta cornices. Interior painting of the museum halls has been continued and much painting has been accomplished on portions of the greenhouses and on fences and guard rails.
Taken as a whole all structures are in reasonably good condition, and such defects as now exist should be mainly remedied by the expenditure of funds available during 1913.
Plants and Planting Maintenance and development of the older plantations have been satisfactorily accomplished and material additions
(176)
have been made to the number of kinds of plants represented, there being now about 13,170 different kinds of plants repre- sented in the collections, of which about 8,750 kinds are under glass and the remainder in the open.
Noteworthy new plantations include a large collection of peonies along the bottom of the west end of the terrace at conservatory range no. I; the enlargement of the conifer plantation at the west end of the Long Bridge; a collection of lilacs received from the Buffalo Botanic Garden, planted at the foot of the Bronx Boulevard retaining wall, near the arboretum collection of ash trees; a choice collection of lilacs presented by Mr. T. A. Havemeyer, Jr., planted near the lower end of the museum approach; and the plantation of selected thorn trees in the west border near the Upper Lake. Ground has been prepared at the east end of the terrace of conservatory range no. 1 for a rose garden to be planted in the spring. The labeling of plants has been con- tinued throughout the year, over 4,700 labels having been painted and put in place. The lead-faced label used in previous years has been abandoned, much to our regret, because large quantities of them were stolen, the lead melted off and sold by thieves. Some of the thieves were apprehended, but the damage was continued. It was deemed best to substitute for the lead-faced label one which would not excite cupidity, and most of the labels made this year are of zinc with an aluminum finish. Up to the present time these have not been stolen.
The additional plants brought into the collections have been obtained by exchanges with other institutions; by exploration work in the West Indies, and by purchases made possible through the following contributions to the Plant Fund.

Natural Features
The beauty of the Garden reservation has suffered no deterioration during the year, and the protection of the woodlands and thickets by guard rails along paths and trails has permitted the wild plants to recover some areas which had become trampled by visitors. Hemlock and hickory trees have suffered from depredations of the bark- borers, and a considerable number of both these kinds of trees have died. The only practicable remedy which has been found is to remove the dead trees as rapidly as possible. No spraying or other mode of treatment has been found at all effective, and the damage must, apparently, proceed until some natural check to the development of these insects appears. If it were possible to induce more woodpeckers or other birds of similar habits to those of woodpeckers to remain in the woodlands, the number of borers would be materially reduced. However, there are far more young trees coming up in the woodlands than there were old ones destroyed.
Additional patroling by police officers provided by the Police Department during the year has been advantageous in many ways, and it will be possible this year to somewhat increase the number of guards employed.
Museums
Additional specimens, obtained from a wide range of sources, have been installed throughout the museum series of exhibits. No modifications have been made in the general plan of the series of exhibits,—the collection of fossil plants occupying the basement of the museum building, the economic museum the main floor, and the system- atic museum the second floor. Additional cases recently obtained for the economic museum through a city appropri- ation will permit the installation of a large number of speci- mens held in storage. More cases are needed for specimens now available for installation on all three floors, and a further appropriation for cases has been asked.
(178)
Herbarium
The herbarium collections have been increased by over 30,000 specimens, about half of which were obtained through exploration work, and half by gift, purchase and exchange. Additional cases were built during the year and more will be needed soon to properly conserve this invaluable collec- tion, which now aggregates about I,500,000 specimens.
Purchases of museum and herbarium specimens were made possible by the following contributions to the special fund for educational and scientific purposes.

The library has been mainly brought together by exchanges and by purchases made possible by gifts of money from many friends. During 1912, the following contributions made to the special fund for educational and scientific purposes were used for library purposes.

There still remains a large number of important works on botany and horticulture to be secured before the library attains completion in the older literature. Many of these are rare and obtainable only at intervals. It is most desir- able that financial provision should be made which would enable us to obtain any book offered for sale which is not represented in the collection.
Laboratories
Laboratory facilities have been granted to 19 advanced students during the year, all pursuing different lines of investigation. No material changes have been made in the equipment. The Director of the Laboratories has prose- cuted extensive experimental work in plant breeding at the nurseries and has guided the investigations of students in that subject. This work will be continued and extended during 1913. The tropical laboratory at Cinchona, on the Island of Jamaica, rented ten years ago by the Garden for experimental purposes and held as a convenient place for studies by botanists, has not been sufficiently utilized recently to warrant us in continuing the lease from the Jamaica Government, and it is now proposed to terminate
(180 )
this lease, with the hope, however, that the station may be continued as a point where investigations may be prosecuted under other auspices.
Public Instruction
Saturday afternoon public lectures were delivered from April 27 consecutively until December 14. Thirty-four lec- tures were given and an average attendance of 100 was main- tained to the end of the course, which was carried six weeks later into the year than in previous seasons. Lectures and demonstrations to public school children, supplementary to their nature-study curriculum, were given in the autumn. Docentry work has been continued throughout the year, the plan of providing a docent at three o’clock every week day afternoon to accompany visitors through parts of the grounds and buildings proving entirely satisfactory. Mem- bers of the staff acting as docents have also accompanied many parties of visitors, both children and adults, at other times, and this system of personal guidance is of high edu- cational value. More complete labeling of all collections, which is being gradually attained, makes these of increasing importance educationally.
Floral Exhibitions
Cooperation with the Horticultural Society of New York in providing monthly public exhibitions of plants and flowers was continued during the summer, the exhibitions being opened to the public on Saturday afternoons and continued during the following Sundays. In some of these exhibitions the whole basement floor of the museum has been filled with flowers; at others only one of the halls was used.
Exploration
Botanical exploration and collecting in Cuba was con- tinued in the early part of the year by Dr. J. A. Shafer, Special Agent, and, accompanied by Mr. John F. Cowell, Director of the Buffalo Botanic Garden, and by Mrs.
(181)
Britton, I spent the month of March and part of April in eastern and central Cuba. Our representation of the Cuban flora, while not yet complete, is now greater than that of any other institution. The difficult region of the high Sierra Maestra, west of Santiago, still remains unexplored. It is hoped that at some time a party may be organized to spend several months in those high mountains, which are known to contain many rare species, and doubtless contain many others as yet unknown to science. During parts of November and December, Dr. John K. Small, Head Curator of the Museums, accompanied Professor Hugo de Vries on a collecting trip through southern Florida, in continuation of his investigations of the flora of that region. Three weeks in late August and early September and two weeks in December were given by me to studies in Bermuda, ac- companied on the first trip by Mr. Stewardson Brown, Cur- ator of Botany at the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences, and by Mrs. Britton, and on the December trip by Mr. Stewardson Brown, and by Dr. Seaver of our staff. This exploration work has been aided by contributions of money to the special fund for educational and scientific purposes applied to exploration, as follows:

A large number of the plants obtained during previous expeditions, and others grown from seeds thus obtained, have now reached full development and are noteworthy specimens in the grounds and greenhouses. The study of museum and herbarium specimens obtained is going forward continually, and extensive additions to knowledge are being made through these studies. It is most desirable that this work be continued and that financial provision be made therefor.
Investigations
Research over a wide range of subjects has been prose- cuted by advanced students and by visiting officers of other institutions. The members of the Garden staff have devoted such time as could be spared from administrative and curatorial duties to investigation, and have extended these studies beyond regular hours of attendance. Substantial additions to knowledge have been made, but much more could be accomplished by a larger staff, the collections and facilities of the Garden providing opportunities for much more research work than it is possible to accomplish at present. Several students have been aided by scholarships and by grants from the income of the Students Research Fund. Further financial provision for scholarships would be highly advantageous.
Preservation of Native Plants The proposition mentioned in my last annual report to use the accumulated income of the fund of $3,000 presented
( 183 )
to the Garden by the Misses Caroline and Olivia Phelps Stokes, for the illustration in color of certain wild flowers needing protection from indiscriminate picking, was carried out by the publication in the Garden Journat during the year of colored plates, illustrating jack-in-the-pulpit, spring beauty, wild pink, wild columbine and bird’s-foot violet, reproduced from paintings by Miss Mary E. Eaton, who has also made paintings of other plants needing preservation. The income of this fund will enable us to publish three more subjects in this year’s Journat. A considerably larger edition of the plates than the number needed for the JourRNAL was printed, and it is proposed, after eight subjects have been illustrated, to group these in frames and distribute them to schools.
The Charles Finney Cox Memorial Collection of Darwiniana
At a meeting of the Board of Managers held January 30, 1912, it was resolved that a permanent memorial of the late Charles Finney Cox, who served the Garden for many years as treasurer, be established, and it was subsequently ascer- tained that the important collection of books and other documents relating to Charles Darwin, which had been accumulated by Mr. Cox, could be purchased. This purchase was accomplished by contributions from the following friends of Mr. Cox and of the Garden.

The collection will be described in detail in the January issue of the Garden Journat. It is one of the most impor- tant acquisitions from educational and scientific standpoints that the institution has ever received. A case for it, now under construction, will be placed in the library.
Administration
I have been aided in administrative duties during the year by Dr. W. A. Murrill, Assistant Director, and by Mr. R. S. Williams, Administrative Assistant. I have supervised all new construction work, and this has also been under the observation and direction of Mr. Arthur J. Corbett, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. I have also supervised the installation of additions to the collections, which are under the immediate care of Mr. George V. Nash, Head Gardener, and of Dr. John K. Small, Head Curator of the Museums and Herbarium. Such time as could be spared from these duties has been given to studies of the North American flora and to cooperation with Dr. J Rose, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, in investi- gations of the cactus family.
(185 )
Financial Considerations
The city appropriations for maintenance of grounds, buildings and collections for 1913 aggregate $103,900. To provide for a satisfactory scale of maintenance and for proper remuneration of employees, it is necessary to supple- ment these city allowances by about $25,000 from Garden income, which now amounts to about $30,000 annually, leaving only about $5,000 available for the increase of the
collections and other scientific and educational work. It is, therefore, very desirable that additional income be obtained, in order that the institution may attain its proper place in science and education. At the meeting of the Board held November 14, 1912, a committee was appointed to secure additional permanent funds, and this committee is en- deavoring to obtain subscriptions aggregating not less than £100,000 during the year 1913. The aid of all members and friends of the Garden is asked for this committee.
Reports Appended
Reports describing in detail the work accomplished during 1912 are submitted, prepared by the Assistant Director, the Head Gardener, the Head Curator of the Museums and Herbarium, the Honorary Curator of the Economic Col- lections, the Director of the Laboratories, the Librarian, and the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds; and a schedule
of expenditures is submitted by the Accountant.
Respectfully submitted, N. L. Brirron,
Director-in-Chief.
REPORT OF THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
Dr. N. L. Brirron, Direcror-1n-CuiEr. Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1912. Grounds and Buildings The grounds and buildings have been kept in good con- dition during the year; but it has been impossible to maintain
(186)
the highest standard with the funds available. Damage from fire and storm and disorderly persons has, fortunately, been slight. The seasons have been unusual in many respects. The winter was severe and very destructive to vegetation, especially to evergreens. An account of the losses sustained in our plantations was given by Mr. Nash in the July Journat. An exceptionally heavy flood in the Bronx River, described in the April JouRNAL, occurred March 13, but the damage done was largely confined to scattered rubbish deposited over the meadows. The usual summer drought occurred much earlier in the season than for several years past, while frequent showers fell later in the year. The autumn was the mildest and most beautiful known in the history of the Garden.
Insect pests have been much in evidence during the year, and considerable time has been devoted to them by Dr. Seaver. His paper on the leopard-moth in the October Journat is to be followed by others on some of the most destructive insects found on the grounds. An epidemic of white grubs, which greatly injured the lawns in many places, was described by the writer in the Journat for September.
Public interest in the Garden increases every year, and visitors are now realizing more than ever before the aims of the institution and the need of their cordial cooperation.
The details of maintenance of the grounds and buildings are outlined in the reports of the Head Gardener and the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds.
Publications JOURNAL The Journat has been published for each month during the year, making a volume of 215 pages, with 23 plates, 5 of which are colored, and 1 figure.
Mycotocia This periodical has appeared on alternate months during the year, making a volume of 349 pages, with 24 plates and

Scientific Meetings
The monthly Conferences of members of the staff and students have been continued, and a report of each meeting has been published in the current number of the JourRNAL.
The Torrey Botanical Club has met each month as usual in the morphological laboratory of the museum building.
Members of the American Association of Museums, on the occasion of its seventh annual meeting, held in New York City, were the guests of the Garden on June 7.
The Horticultural Society of New York, in cooperation
(191 )
with the New York Botanical Garden, held exhibitions of plants and flowers in the museum building on May 11 and 12, May 25 and 26, June 8 and g, June 29 and 30, August 31 and September 1 and 2, and September 28 and 29. Accounts of these exhibitions were published in the Journat for June and November.
Personal Investigations
The chief scientific work accomplished by me during the year was the preparation and publication of a series of articles on the gill-fungi and polypores of the Pacific coast, based largely upon my own collections made in that region in the autumn of 1911. Of the 170 species thus far treated in these articles, 77 are new to science.
Work has been continued on the higher fungous flora of tropical North America, two papers having been published on the gill-fungi and one on the polypores, making a total of 106 tropical species treated during the year, 49 of which proved to be new.
The fungi of the northeastern United States were studied, particularly those in the vicinity of Lake Placid in the Adiron- dacks, where a large collection was obtained during late summer and autumn, with many valuable notes from fresh specimens, which will be used in monographic work for Nortu AMERICAN FLoRA.
Attention was devoted to the local fungi chiefly for the purpose of adding to the collection of colored drawings made by Miss Eaton for the swinging frames. Nearly two hundred of these are now completed, with the labels printed, and the work of mounting them in the museum is in progress.
The series of popular articles on fleshy fungi, accompanied by colored plates, which has been a feature of Mycotocia since its inauguration, has been successfully continued during the year, about thirty species having been described and figured in their natural colors.
Respectfully submitted, W. A. Murrett, Assistant Director.
(192 ) REPORT OF THE HEAD GARDENER Dr. N. L. Brrrron, Drrector-1n-CuHter.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1912.
Systematic Plantations
Herpaceous Grounps. There are in the herbaceous col- lections, including those at the nurseries, about 3,050 species and varieties. The grounds now include 128 beds,—an addition of three. This increase was caused by the division of the old pink family into its four segregates,—the pink, chickweed, whitlow and knawel families, and by the addi- tion of a bed for tulips, and another for the grass family. Of the beds formerly used for the pink family two were abolished,—two others being made elsewhere to replace them. Individual show labels, 344 in number, have been made for this tract.
Fruticetum. There are about 1,710 specimens here. Including those at the nurseries, the shrub collections represent about 800 species and varieties. There have been 1,015 show labels installed here during the year.
SaticETuM. About 40 species and varieties, including those at the nurseries, represent the willow family here. The number of specimens is I12.
Decrpuous Arsoretum. About 295 species and varieties are represented in this collection, including those native to the tract and in the nurseries. Show labels made number 239. Pinetum. The conifer collection, including those at the nurseries, represents about 285 species and varieties, embrac- ing about 1,100 specimens. Show labels made number 584.
ViticeTtum. There are about 50 species and varieties here.
Conservatories. The collections of tender plants, including those at the propagating houses, represent about 8,650 species and varieties, embracing 207 families and 1,480 genera, The total number of plants in the conserva- tories is 17,659.
Range No. r. Show labels added, 1,425. The col-
( 193 )
lections here comprise 11,981 plants, distributed as follows: house no. 1, 275; no. 2, 434; no. 3, 618; no. 4, 512; no. 5, 1,524; no. 6, 746; no. 7, 1,018; no. 8, 569; no. 9, 148; no. 10, 1,006; no. II, 367; no. 12, 1,225; no. 13, 555; no. 14, 749; no. 15, 2,080; cellar, 155.
Upon the completion of the additional houses at range no. 2 a portion of the orchid collection in house no. 15 was moved to the new houses.
Range No. 2. Show labels added, 111. The plants in the houses of this range number 5,678, distributed as follows: house no. I, 78; no. 2, 1373 no. 3, 573; no. 4, 1,045; no. 5, 1,950; no. 6, 1,192; no. 7, 1,203; cellar, 16.
As previously noted, late in the summer a part of the orchid collection from range no. 1 was moved here; also the orchids which had formerly been at the propagating houses. The bromeliads, also formerly at the propagating houses, now form a part of the collections of range no. 2. The north house of the two new ones is for East Indian orchids and others requiring a higher night temperature and greater humidity.
PropacaTinc Houses anp Nurseries. These have been taxed to their utmost capacity during the past year by the great increase in the amount of work in plant breeding being carried on by the Director of the Laboratories. House no. 2 is entirely devoted to experiments along this line. The area in the nurseries enclosed by the wire fence was entirely given over to this work, and during the coming year additional space will be required to carry on this work. This great increase in the amount of work will require the services of another man during the summer. Houses nos. 5 and 6 have been given over entirely to the collection of desert plants, mostly cacti. In addition to the above a great amount of propagation is necessary to supply the plants required for the increasing decorative flower beds.
The plants in the propagating houses, excluding those under the immediate control of the Director of the Labore atories, number 11,435. Packets of seeds to the number of
(194)
1,397 have been received, as follows: by gift, 95; by exchange, 1,233; collected on expeditions, 53. In addition to the above, 700 packets have been added through our own collections.
LABELING, RECORDING AND HerBarium. Accession num- bers 35,002 to 37,036 have been recorded, making a total of 2,035 accessions. Show labels to the number of 4,758 have been made, as follows: deciduous arboretum, 239; herbaceous grounds, 344; economic garden, 14; morphological garden, 4; west border, 72; fruticetum, 1,015; pinetum, 584; roads and paths, 785; conservatory decorative beds, 29; decorative beds, elevated approach to conservatories, 85; elevated approach border, 26; conservatory, range no. I, 1,425; conservatory pools, range no. I, 18; conservatories, range no. 2, III.
The following plants have been acquired: by gift, 754, valued at about $600; by exchange, 1,291; by purchase, including 2,276 bulbs, 3,419; collections made by members of the staff and others, 880; derived from seeds from various sources, 2,438; total, 8,782.
Additions to the collections of cultivated plants number 445 specimens. An approximate estimate of the number of plants in each collection is as follows: conservatories, 8,650; herbaceous, 3,050; fruticetum, 800; salicetum, 40; deciduous arboretum, 295; pinetum, 285; viticetum, 50; total, 13,170.
Miscellaneous Collections
MorpuHo.ocicaL Garpen. An additional bed has been provided, containing plants illustrating mutation. Four show labels have been added.
Economic Garpen. Fourteen show labels have been added. This is one of the most instructive of the collections, and attracts a large number of visitors.
DersertT Piants. The increasing size of these collections, both in numbers and individuals, has made necessary the enlargement of the beds devoted to them in the court of conservatories, range no. 1. They are always a center of attraction for visitors to the conservatories.
(195 )
Conservatory Lity Poors. The collection of tender water lilies in the westerly pool comprises many striking forms. The plants flowered early and continued in bloom late, owing to the open fall. Four plants of the Paraguay royal water lily were in the collection this year, bearing a number of flowers. Eighteen show labels were added.
Aquatic GarpEeN. The planting near and around the aquatic garden is becoming more decorative each year. The various water lilies are well established and give a profusion of bloom throughout the summer. Eighteen show labels were added.
RuopopEenpRoN Banks. ‘This is one of the most con- spicuous features of the Garden. In addition to the Madonna lilies, which come into bloom in June, other lilies have been added, carrying the blooming period of these flowers through July, August and September. The other lilies are: Lilium auratum, L. speciosum, in several forms, and L. tigrinum Fortunet giganteum. The rhododendron plants are making a good growth, and during the summer have set a large number of buds which will develop during the coming summer. This applies especially to R. cataw- biense.
OrHEeR Decorative Piantations. Here are included the following: beds in the immediate vicinity of conserva- tories, range no. I, including one at the base of the west terrace, completed this fall with the exception of the shrub background; those at the elevated approach, west border, and along the paths from the elevated to the conservatories; and a group of lilacs, the gift of Mr. T. A. Havemeyer, installed in the bend of the path near the fountain enclosure. To these plantations 222 show labels have been added.
General Horticultural Operations The following force has been available for this work: 2 foreman-gardeners, 19 gardeners, 2 apprentices,—one o the latter for only two months,—18 laborers, and 4 drivers during the open season. In the conservatories the immedi-
( 196 )
ate direction of the work has been under Richard Richter, foreman-gardener, who has had under him 14 gardeners, the 2 apprentices, and 1 laborer. The outside work has been carried on under foreman-gardener John Finley, his force consisting of 5 gardeners, 17 laborers, and 4 drivers.
In addition to the regular routine horticultural operations, the following new planting has been done. During the spring about 100 lilacs, secured by exchange with the Buffalo Botanic Garden, were placed at the foot of the retaining wall on the east side, continuing the lilac planting already there; a collection of about 60 plants, the gift of Mr. R. Boeder, of Williamsbridge, were transported and placed in various parts of the grounds, some of these being trees of con- siderable size, requiring care and time in handling; the area between the path and driveway in the pinetum, to the west of the conservatories, was planted with conifers, some obtained from the beds at the conservatories, others by purchase; the conifer planting at the west end of the long bridge was enlarged, continuing this on the other side of the path, 50 plants being used in this work, including a few necessary to replace certain ones which died during the winter.
The principal new planting of the fall was the beginning of the proposed extensive decorative planting at the foot of the terrace at conservatory range 1. This planting is to consist of a strip on both ends and the north side, similar in character to that already existing to the north of the con- servatories, that is, a background of mixed evergreens and deciduous shrubs, with a herbaceous border in front. The areas at the east and west ends of the terrace were pre- pared, that at the east end for a rose garden, to be installed the coming spring, while the west end was planted with a collection of herbaceous plants, including many peonies and bulbs, the background of evergreens and shrubs to be placed later. Another important piece of new work was the plant- ing of a collection of 41 kinds of lilacs, two plants of each, at the bend in the path, near the founcain at the foot of the museum approach. This valuable addition to the decorative
(197)
collections of the Garden is the gift of Mr. T. A. Havemeyer, who included in the gift an additional collection of 134 miscellaneous shrubs. Other planting accomplished during the fall is as follows: a privet hedge on the east side of the manure yard at the nursery; a privet hedge at power-house no. 2; privet hedges on both sides of the service driveway at conservatory range no. 1; a shrub screen around the scales at power-house no. 1; a group of cornel at the southeast corner of the North Bridge; two more trees of Oxydendrum arboreum in the rhododendron triangle; twelve ashes trans- planted from the grounds to the west border; forty Crataegus to the west border; a group of Symphoricarpos added to the decorative planting at Newell Ave.; three Lombardy poplars along the walk in the north meadow. In various parts of the grounds imperfect or dead specimens have been replaced with others. Investigations and Lectures
In addition to routine duties J have continued my studies upon the grasses for NorrH AMERICAN Fiora. The part to which reference was made in my report of last year was issued late last summer. I have also begun studies upon the orchids for the same work.
I have given five lectures in the regular courses of public lectures at the Garden, and two lectures to grade 4B of the public schools of the Bronx in their course on nature study.
Respectfully submitted, GeorceE V. Nasu, Head Gardener.
REPORT OF THE HEAD CURATOR OF THE MUSEUMS AND ERBARIUM
Dr. N. L. Brrrron, Drrecror-1n-CHIEF.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year I91I2.
The collections included in the museums and herbaria were increased by specimens from many parts of the New World and the Old. The more important specimens for
(198 )
both the public exhibits and the study collections came from America and were obtained chiefly through exploration and exchange
The Sion: under my care were increased as follows:
By gift and purchase....... ....... 9,630 specimens. By exploration... ............-.000-- 14,558 specimens. By exchange. ......... .... 000 7,009 specimens.
Thus a total of 31,197 specimens was brought together. Detailed lists of accessions have been published in the monthly issues of the JouRNAL during the year.
The value of the gifts is estimated at $1,137.
Not less than 9,547 duplicate specimens were sent to other institutions and to individuals as exchanges.
Museums
The museum equipment remained practically the same as in the previous year. The additional exhibition cases planned for early in the year were not completed until the last week in December and consequently they were not available for the installation of specimens.
e€ most important single addition to the museum exhibits was a collection of twelve old Chinese paintings, given by Dr. Reginald H. Sayre, showing the methods of cultivation, preparation, and packing of tea as practiced in China about two centuries ago. This collection is now displayed in four panel wall-cases on the landing of the stairway leading from the main floor of the Museum Building to the second floor.
A large amount of exhibition material has been placed in storage, awaiting both space and mechanical means of displaying it.
Fossizr Prant Museum. The specimens in the several wall cases of this museum were rearranged preparatory to providing them with new printed labels. Desirable speci- mens were added to the series displayed in the floor cases, and specimens recently received were placed in their proper places in the cases of the study collections.
(199)
Economic Museum. The development planned for this part of the public museums was frustrated by the delay in the finishing of the exhibition cases referred to above. However, most of the subdivisions of this museum were increased by the addition of individual specimens. Some rearrangements of exhibits were made, and the large col- lection of resins was partly developed.
For further notes on this museum see the report of the Honorary Curator of the Economic Collections.
Systematic Museum. No special development for either of the four elements comprising this museum was con- templated during the year, except the fleshy fungus series of the Local Flora Exhibit.
The Synoptic Collection was improved by the addition of special specimens collected or acquired through explora- tion by members of the Garden staff, and by miscellaneous specimens.
The Local Flora Exhibit. A few specimens were added to this series and some specimens which had deteriorated were replaced byfresh ones. The series of paintings illus- trating the fleshy fungi of the local flora region was com- pleted during the fall. It will be installed early next year. It had been planned to install this collection in the swinging frames before the end of this year, but the inability to secure proper cardboard mounts defeated the accomplishment of the plan.
The Microscope Exhibit. The public interest in this exhibit was maintained as heretofore. Two microscopes were temporarily removed from the series on account of the thefts of small parts of the instruments. These should be replaced early next year, thus making the exhibit complete and intact.
The Plant Photograph Exhibit described in my last annual report was maintained essentially as it was originally installed last year. It attracted considerable attention from the visiting public. A similar series would be equally effective on the walls of the Economic Museum.
( 200 )
Herbaria
The herbarium equipment was not essentially changed during the year. As previously stated in regard to the museums, the herbarium cases, which were to be available earlier in the year, were not finished until the end of December.
The collections comprising the herbaria were increased by specimens derived from a very extensive geographic area, particularly by the addition of algae, fungi, hepaticae and mosses, and flowering plants, from North America. Two aaluabe private herbaria came into the possession of the Garden, one, that of the late Mr. J. J. Crooke, as your gift, the other that of the late Professor A. J. McClatchie. All desirable current plant distributions and exsiccatae were secured.
About 48,000 specimens, representing selections from collections in storage and from the herbaria referred to in the preceding paragraph, as well as the specimens of the distributions and exsiccatae also referred to above, were mounted on about 32,000 herbarium sheets and were incorporated in the permanent collections. Several thou- sand bulky specimens of fungi, fruits, and seeds were added to the series contained in multiple size boxes.
he uneven development of the general herbarium neces- sitated the shifting of nearly the whole collection once, and parts of it several times, during the year.
The monographic ee in connection with North American Flora resulted in materially building up the herbarium, especially in the case of those groups of plants upon which the current work is directed. Many fragmentary type specimens and photographs of type herbarium sheets were acquired as a result of the work on this flora.
An important and desirable feature of the year’s work was the mounting, and incorporating in the permanent collection, of several years’ accumulation, representing many thousands of Philippine Island plants of recent collections.
The fruit and seed collection, a part of the herbarium,
(201 )
which is contained in cardboard boxes of multiple sizes and in glass jars, was renovated and completely rearranged.
Several hundred specimens given to Columbia University and deposited with the Garden, together with some speci- mens from the Morong herbarium, were mounted and incorporated in their proper places.
Investigations and Assistance
Dr. P. A. Rydberg, Curator, had charge of the herbarium of flowering plants. His time, when not occupied by mechanical curatorial work, was devoted to the conclusion of a monograph of the family Rosaceae, the earlier parts of which have already been printed in Norra AMERICAN Fora, and to the continuation of his study of the flora of the Rocky Mountain region. In this connection he prepared four papers on the plants of that region, two of which were printed during this year, and continued the study of the specimens collected in southeastern Utah last year. Dr. Rydberg spent a month during the latter part of the year at the United States National Museum, studying the Rocky Mountain collections contained in the National Herbarium, and delivered two lectures in the Garden lecture courses.
Dr. Marshall A. Howe, Curator, continued to have charge of the collections of algae and hepaticae. The work of incorporating the Mitten and the Underwood collections of hepaticae with the general hepatic collections owned by the Garden was discontinued early in the year on account of the lack of assistance, but this work, it is expected, will be resumed with the beginning of the new year. Dr. Howe represented the Garden at the exercises commemorative of the one hundredth anniversary of the founding of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia, held in Philadelphia March 19-21, and presented on that occasion an illustrated paper on ‘“‘Reef-building and Land-forming Seaweeds.” This paper, in a more amplified form, was published in Science for May 31, under the title “The
( 202 )
Building of ‘Coral’ Reefs.” Dr. Howe’s researches during the year have been concerned chiefly with a large collection of marine algae from Peru, the results of which are now nearly ready for publication. He has continued to act as an associate editor of the publications of the Torrey Botanical Club, and has delivered four lectures in the Garden lecture courses.
Dr. Fred J. Seaver, Curator, continued as editor of the JournaL of the Garden and also as associate editor of Mycotocra. Much time was spent in the naming of fungi and in the preparation and mounting of this material. A limited amount of time was spent collecting fungi of the local flora region. This work resulted in the discovery of several undescribed discomycetes and the addition of many valuable specimens to our collections. Critical preliminary studies have been continued on certain groups of ascomycetes for monographs for Nort American Frora. During the summer months considerable time was devoted to the study of insect parasites in the Garden and on the means of con- trolling them. One lecture dealing with this subject was given in the regular Garden lecture courses and also before the New York Horticultural Society. Dr. Seaver recently accompanied you to Bermuda for the collection and study of the fungi of that island. He also published several papers on different groups of fungi.
Dr. Arthur Hollick, Curator, was granted leave of absence for the first quarter and the last quarter of the year in order that he might continue the study of the collections of fossil plants made by him in Alaska several years ago under the auspices of the United States Geological Survey. From the Ist of April to the 31st of October Dr. Hollick cared for the collections of fossil plants, and in this connection he had the continued voluntary assistance of Mr. Edwin W. Humphreys. Dr. Hollick continued his studies on the fossil plants of the vicinity of New York City and prepared the manuscript and drawings of several papers, one of which, “Additions to the Paleobotany of the Cretaceous Forma-
( 203 )
tion on Long Island, No. III,’ was issued in November. He also delivered a lecture in the Garden lecture course, and edited No. 28 of the Garden BuLLETIN.
Mr. Percy Wilson, Assistant Curator, devoted con- siderable time to the study and distribution of West Indian plants received from various institutions for determination, and also to large collections brought in by exploring expedi- tions sent out by the Garden. He had charge of all public gee the photographic work, the lantern slide collection,
the Garden publications on sale, and was occupied wit oy duties four or five aietnoons each week,
Dr. C. B. Robinson, Assistant Curator from January to September, devoted his attention to the study of large collections of Philippine plants and to the incorporation of the specimens in the herbarium, and prepared a monograph of a large part of the family Vacciniaceae for a contemplated part of Norra American Fiora. He resigned in Sep- tember in order to accept a position in the Bureau of Science, at Manila, Philippine Islands.
Mrs. N. L. Britton, Voluntary Assistant for the first third of the year and Honorary Curator of Mosses for the remainder of the year, continued to devote her time and energy to the development of the moss collections. From the inception of the Garden Mrs. Britton devoted most of her time and much energy to increasing and arranging the moss herbarium. In recognition of these valuable services, the Board of Managers, on May 23, appointed Mrs. Britton ‘Honorary Curator of Mosses.” During this year she accomplished the mounting and distribution of the current accessions, the large collections of the Mitten herbarium purchased several years ago, and distributed many dupli- cates to both home and foreign institutions and mono- graphers, and by special effort succeeded in making our representations of large and intricate genera, such as Sphag- num, Dicranum, Fissidens, Bryum, and Polytrichum, especi- ally those groups needed for monographic work on NortH American Ftora, essentially complete. Mrs. Britton,
( 204 )
with the cooperation of Mr. R. S. Williams, administrative assistant, and other collaborators, finished and sent to press the first part of the volume of Norra American Fiora devoted to mosses, and accomplished much preliminary work on the two parts which are scheduled to succeed it. Mrs. Britton prepared a series of articles on “Wild Plants Needing Protection,” which appeared, with the addition of colored plates, in several issues of the JouRNAL of the Garden, and continued her studies on West Indian mosses, partly with the cooperation of Dr. A. Leroy Andrews, who com- pared specimens with and made notes on type specimens in herbaria of northern Europe as an aid to a more accurate determination of the West Indian collections, which are constantly being increased by further additions from Cuba, Jamaica, Porto Rico, and other islands.
In addition to my curatorial detail and routine I con- tinued monographic work in connection with NorrH AMER- IcAN Fora, particularly on the family Ericaceae. I also devoted some time to a continuation of my studies on the flora of the southeastern United States, particularly to the floras of Texas and Florida, and completed my studies on the plants collected by me in tropical Florida in 1911. I spent about five weeks, in November and December, exploring and collecting on the Miami limestone region of tropical Florida, and on the Florida Keys at points from the Upper Sand Keys to Key West.
Respectfully submitted, . AK. Smart, Iead Curator of the Rigas and Herbarium.
REPORT OF THE HONORARY CURATOR OF THE ECONOMIC COLLECTIONS Dr. N. L. Brrrron, Director-1n-CHier. Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year I9I2. Although considerable has been accomplished during the past year in the development of the Economic Museum, we
(205 )
have not been able to fully present the results to the public, as anticipated, because of some delay in the installation of our new cases.
The accessions of the year number 314 specimens, mostly of a miscellaneous character. A large part of these consist of foods and drugs, mostly from the New York market, many of them somewhat rare. A number of the accessions have been secured through the explorations of the members of our own staff.
The most important group of accessions is a series of Chinese paintings, representing the tea industry in China, presented by Dr. Reginald H. Sayre.
Others worthy of special note are the following: a set of specimens representing the Florida arrow-root industry; a number of Chinese edible seeds; a specimen of Fatsia pith, used by the Chinese in the manufacture of a fine paper; a trunk of the Hevea rubber tree, from Ceylon, indi- cating the method of collecting the rubber milk; the edible fruit of Strychnos spinosa Lamarck; the edible tubers of Opuntia austrina Small, from Florida.
Owing to the crowded condition of our cases, it has been found necessary to temporarily store the greater part of the year’s collections. Our new cases will probably be ready for use early in 1913, when a complete rearrangement of the collections in the western portion of the Museum will be made.
It is to be remembered that, in addition to these museum collections, we are gradually accumulating in the conserva- tories a large representation of living useful plants. An important addition to these collections during 1912 has been a fine case of Hevea rubber plants. Now that we have a conservatory space available for such plants, their number may be expected to increase rapi

( 206 ) REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE LABORATORIES
Dr. N. L. Brirron, Drrector-1n-CuHIEF.
Sir; I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1912.
The Laboratories
Some minor changes have been made in the laboratories during the past year. Two working desks have been added, making at present eight desks for student use. A specially constructed seed cabinet has been placed in the laboratory to provide for the proper storing of the seed used in the in- vestigations in genetics. It is planned to provide early in the coming year several high power objectives for the micro- scopes now in stock, thereby meeting the needs of the im- mediate future in this respect.
Meteorological Records Records of the amount of precipitation and of the air and soil temperatures have been taken throughout the year, and monthly summaries of these have been furnished for publication in the Garden JoURNAL.
Conference Meetings
A monthly conference of the scientific staff and registered students of the Garden has been held, except during the summer months. As secretary of this conference I have planned the programs, sent notices of each conference to members of the botanical staff at Columbia University and Barnard College, and of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and prepared abstracts of the topics presented for publication in the Garden JouRNAL.
Personal Investigations The general plan for my personal investigations as out- lined in my report one year ago, has been quite closely followed. During the winter months certain phases of the cytological studies of Carex aquatilis were completed and prepared for publication. There remains, however,
(207 )
the study of fertilization in this species, for which I have material at hand. Considerable material was obtained during the spring from other species of Carex for more extended cytological studies in this genus.
Regarding my study of the fungus Sclerotium rhizodes, I can report that this fungus has been found to be very abundant in the upper Hackensack meadows, where it is very destructive to Calamagrosiis canadensis. The presence of the fungus in this vicinity gives opportunity for continued search in the field for the perfect stage of this fungus which, at the present time, is not known.
During the summer months my time was almost entirely devoted to experimental studies in plant breeding. us far I have worked with the following groups of plants: (1) Cichorium Intybus, wild white-flowered plants, wild blue-flowered plants, and plants grown from seed of culti- vated strains; (2) Verbascum Blaitaria, yellow-flowered and pitino ved plants; (3) Hibiscus militaris, H. Moscheutos, H. oculiroseus, and the hybrid H. oculiroseus * H. Mache tos, and (4) Carex stricta and Carex Goodnotit.
The work of the past summer on these forms was in large measure preliminary and consisted chiefly in studying the vegetative characters, and in securing pedigreed seed from controlled self-fertilizations and cross fertilizations. The results obtained encourage continued experimentation with all these forms.
In connection with the studies of Hibiscus several days were spent in southern New Jersey at Island Heights, where observations were made over large fields of wild Hibiscus Moscheutos, with special regard to the variability of this species. Several plants representing ranges in the vari- ability were shipped to the Garden and planted in the experimental garden for use in the breeding experiments. I hope to be able to make more extended observations of this sort in the field during the coming summer.
Systematic observations have been made during the year on the phenomena of bud variation in Coleus Blumei.
( 208 )
Several generations of plants have been grown from cuttings and many data obtained regarding the variation exhibited by these plants. In some cases the conditions suggest a chimera relationship of different tissues. The results warrant a more intensive study of these forms with an investigation of the results of sexual reproduction.
ome progress can be reported in the assembling and observation of plant chimeras. Two Bizzaria plants have been obtained from Florence, Italy, and it is planned to secure specimens of Cytisus Adami and the various Crataego- mespilus chimeras. The interesting case of reversal of tissue relations has appeared in a plant of Pelargonium zonale. For the experimental production of chimeras pre- liminary grafts have been made between various forms of Eranthemum, which seems favorable for this kind of investi- gation.
It is my plan to supplement the experimental studies with such cytological studies as are desirable. To this en material has been fixed and imbedded for a study of the typical and the atypical nuclear divisions and of fertilization in Cichorium Intybus. It has also seemed highly desirable that the wealth of material afforded by the large collection of Cacti assembled in the greenhouses be utilized for various cytological research. Considerable material collected from a number of species has been properly prepared for future study and some microscopic preparations have been made from the material.
The Experimental Garden and Greenhouse
An area of ground adjacent to the propagating houses was utilized at your direction as an experimental garden. Here were grown various plants used in the experimental work. Coleus Blumet, Cichorium Intybus, Verbascum Blattaria and Hibiscus (various species) were grown for my personal study. Several forms of Mirabilis and a number of cereals were grown for student research, and several varieties of corn were grown for study by Professor R. A. Harper. Various
( 209 )
plants that are of particular interest to botanists were grown. Among these were several forms of Onagra.
To realize the definite plans of another year more ground is needed, and I am pleased to report that according to your direction preparations have been made to almost double the area of the experimental garden.
A greenhouse is being devoted to the needs of the experi- mental work. The seedlings of various species of Chicorium, Hibiscus, Althaea, Verbascum, etc. are grown here during the winter and spring months, making such development before they are transplanted that they blossom in the field the first season. Various plants utilized for student research during the winter are, as far as possible, grown in this house.
Students and Investigators
The list of students here given is composed mainly of the following classes: (1) investigators holding scholarships at the Garden; (2) research students in botany registered at Columbia University but working in part at the New York Botanical Garden; (3) students registered only at the Garden and pursuing their studies under the direction of various members of the Garden staff.
A considerable number of these students have come more or less under my supervision. In considering the various problems of student research, I have had the helpful and hearty cooperation of Dr. R. A. Harper, Professor of Botany at Columbia University, who is present at the Garden a part of each week, and of Professor William J. Gies, head of the Biochemical Department of Columbia University, who has during the present academic year been at the laboratories one afternoon each week for consultation.
Two theses for the degree of A.M. were completed by students of the laboratory during the past year: one by Mr. Bristol on “The Starches of Drug Plants,” and one by Miss Topp on “Variegation in Miscanthus.” The student re- search in plant genetics with which I am especially interested pertains chiefly to the following plants; several varieties of
(210)
Hordeum, Triticum, Secale, Althea, Ligustrum, Abutilon, Weigela, Mirabilis, Phlox and Lupinus.
In the following list the more complete biographical data are given for new students only. For those students who have been registered in previous years there is here stated only the degree, the position held or last held and the problems which they are investigating.

(212) REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN Dr. N. L. Brirron, DrrectTor-1n-CHIEr.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1912.
When the Garden was established, it received as a deposit under a formal agreement nearly all of the books relating to botany in the library of Columbia University, and these still form a noteworthy percentage of the Garden library, and include many of the most necessary works of reference. In recent years, however, the department of botany of the University has felt an increasing need for some of these books, in its endeavor to build up a more useful depart- mental library, and early in the present year 540 volumes, requested by the University, were returned to it for this purpose. Of the books thus withdrawn the Garden had its own copies of 90 volumes; the private library of the writer, which is deposited with the Garden and available for reference, contained 35 more; since the transfer 187 have been purchased by the Garden, and 3 presented to it. This leaves 225 volumes not yet replaced; some have been ordered, but have not yet been received; some, while not exactly duplicated in the Garden library, are essentially so; of the remainder, few are of great importance.
Near the end of the year the remarkable and valuable collection of Darwiniana, formed by the late Charles Finney Cox, was purchased by special subscription and presented to the Garden in memory of Mr. Cox, who was so closely associated with the development of the institution. This gift included 125 bound volumes, many of them rare and in fine bindings. For a fuller account of the Cox collection of Darwiniana, one may refer to the Journat for January, 1913.
During the year 779 volumes have been bound, including 39 which are the property of Columbia University. These 779 volumes, together with the Cox Darwiniana and the usual purchases and gifts, have more than offset the loss in number due to the large withdrawal by Columbia University,
( 213)
so that the census taken at the end of the year shows 24,024 bound volumes, a net increase of 446 from the census of a year ago. About 1,500 written cards have been added to the catalogue during the year, and the principal accessions have been printed in the JourNAL as usual.
In January five stacks were installed in the room west of the reading-room, providing about 650 lineal feet of addi- tional shelving. This extension of the library equipment was urgently needed, but should be sufficient to provide for normal growth for several years.
The librarian has continued his work upon Lentibulari- aceae as opportunity arose, contributing the text of this family of plants to several works now in press.
A list of the publications received currently by the Garden was appended to my report for 1910 (BULLETIN 7: 325-347); certain changes in the list were included in my report for 1911 (BuLLeTiIn 8: 45); further required alter- ations in the list are as follows:
Change f to * before the following: *Annals of Botany. *Botanischer Jahresbericht. *Botanisches Centralblatt. *Flora. *Jahrbiicher fiir Wissenschaftliche Botanik.
Omit the following: Broteria. Country Life in America. House and Garden.
Add the following: Biochemical Bulletin, New York, N. Y. Boletim de Bosques, Pesca i Caza, Santiago de Chile. California. University of California, Berkeley, Calif. Pub-
lications in Agricultural Science. *L’Amateur de Champignons, Paris, France. *Landscape Architecture, New York, N. Y.

(214 ) REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
Dr. N. L. Britton, Drrector-1n-CHier.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1912.
Regulating and Grading
This work has been done in various parts of the Garden. In the willows, on the eastern side of the main drive opposite Woodlawn Road approach, approximately 100 feet square was filled in to a depth of about two feet and was graded and sown with grass seed. On the western side of the Bronx River, from the Long Bridge north, a strip 500 feet long and 25 feet wide was filled in about eighteen inches and graded ready for top dressing. On the east side of the river road opposite Power House No. 2 a strip 20 feet wide and 210 feet long was graded and sown. The bank north of Power House No. 2, on the eastern side of the path, was graded 15 feet wide for a distance of 350 feet, which was then sown with grass seed and one catch-basin constructed.
On the eastern side of Bronx River, south of Boulder Bridge, a strip 75 X 200 feet was filled in eighteen inches deep and made ready for top dressing. About 240 yards of fill was used in this, which had been taken from a cut leading into the cellar of Conservatory Range No. 2. The bank on the eastern side of the road to Conservatory Range No. 2 from Long Bridge Road was graded, and an area of about 6,680 square feet was covered with sod. Both sides of the entrance to Power House No. 2 were graded and about 2,610 square feet covered with sod. One catch-basin was then built.
About 15,000 cubic yards of soil have been carted into the Garden by contractors doing work outside, who were looking for a convenient dumping place. This soil was used to fill in the northern side of Woodlawn Road Approach and was delivered and graded to our satisfaction, at the contractors’ expense. We removed 2,782 loads of stone, 2,152 loads of top soil and 419 loads of earth. This stone was used to build paths. On the east side of the new road and propa-
(215)
gating house path an area of 108 X 155 feet was graded and sown with grass seed. Boulders, extending for a distance of 150 feet, were placed along the river road to guard the bank.
Drainage
In this class of work there has been laid 320 feet of six-inch pipe connected with the propagating houses on the east side running south, and through the boundary fence wall, with one catch-basin. One catch-basin was built at Power House No. 2, one at Long Bridge and one in the gutter north of Power House No. 2, at the cross walk. The four dams in the Herbaceous Grounds were repaired.
Roads and Paths
About 1,926 feet of new paths were completed. Around Conservatory Range No. 1 two 10-foot paths, each 330 feet long, with two cross paths each 45 feet long, one on the eastern side of the conservatories and the other on the western side, were constructed. A path Io feet wide and 544 feet long was constructed from Conservatory Range No. 1 through the Pinetum to the Museum Building.
On the eastern side of the propagating houses a road 10 feet wide and 150 feet long, and one path at Power House No. 2, 10 feet wide and 200 feet long, were built. Two 10-foot cross paths, 38 feet and 29 feet long respectively, have been built at the northeastern part of the Garden, and 215 feet of connecting path at the Syphon.
On the eastern side of the Bronx River 1,186 feet of path- way and on the western side, north of Long Bridge, 450 feet were surfaced and screened. A path north of Power House No. 2, 350 feet long, one on the western side of the new road, 591 feet long, and another east of the river and north of Chestnut Bridge, 1,110 feet long, have been surfaced and screened.
The paths around Conservatory Range No. 1, the Museum building, and the Herbaceous Grounds were resurfaced with screening.
(216)
Guard Rails
An addition of 8,000 feet of one-inch guard rail, two rails high, was erected along the trails and paths in the hemlock grove. Along the river wall 500 feet of one-inch rail, three rails high, was erected, and 1,500 feet of single one-inch rail along the west path north of Mosholu approach.
Buildings
In addition to repairs in and around the buildings the carpenters have constructed twenty-five rustic benches, two lantern-slide cases, four herbarium cases, one seed case, four bill-head cabinets and four shadow-boxes for panel pictures. The second floor, west of the rotunda, and the lavatories on the top floor of the Museum Building have been painted; also houses nos. § and 12 of Conservatory Range No. 1, including all doors and tubs; the potting shed, walls and woodwork at the Propagating Houses; the tubs at Con- servatory Range No. 2; and the interior of the women’s lavatory near the elevated railroad approach. All of the guard rail in the hemlock grove received two coats of paint.
The bottom of the tanks in front of the Museum and the aquatic house were raised two feet and reconcreted, and are now in first-class condition.
One horse was purchased. The expenditures for one gasoline engine and pump, lawn mowers, horse plow, one horse, feeding and shoeing of horses, repairs to wagons, harnesses and machinery, were $2,023.75.
Grounds
Until the month of August we had but one city police officer to protect our grounds; but since then we have had three on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, and one during week days. We have two keepers, with ten additional guards on Saturdays and holidays. The number of Sunday visitors during the warm months averaged about 25,000, with the exception of the month of July, when that number was greatly increased. Owing to the vigilance of our employees there has been but little damage done to the plantations this season.
(217)
Considerable repairs were made to the arbor by the carpenters during the year. A drinking fountain was placed in the northern end of the Garden.
In order to replace cracked flags in the steam trench under the north path at Bedford Park Boulevard entrance it was necessary to make an excavation eight feet wide, fourteen feet deep and twenty-five feet long. We also replaced four flags in the lawn in front of the Museum Building.
To facilitate spraying of the tallest plants two or more times a week a small gasoline engine with pump attached was purchased, for Conservatory Range No. 1, which proved satisfactory. By running the gasoline engine for two weeks five months supply of wood for fuel for the propagating houses was cut.
Respectfully submitted, Artuur J. Corset, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds.

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SCIENTIFIC DIRECTORS
To tHE Boarp or Mawnacers oF THE New York
BoTANICAL GARDEN.
Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit the following report from the Scientific Directors for the year 1912.
Regular meetings of the Scientific Directors were held on April 13, June 8, and October 12, besides a special meeting on May 11, and an adjourned meeting on November 9.
The most important business of the year was transacted at the meetings of April 13 and May 11, in relation to the readjustment of the salaries of the members of the staff, and the employment of additional museum aids.
At the first named meeting, Professor Lee was appointed a committee of one to meet with the Director-in-Chief and his Assistant to consider this subject, and to report at a special meeting of this Board. At the special meeting of May 11, Professor Lee reported in detail, submitting a digest of the work and publications of the members of the staff. As a result of this report resolutions were adopted to the effect that the salaries of our staff-members were much lower than those paid to men in similar positions in other scientific municipal institutions in this City, and were inadequate both to the present high cost of living and to the scientific standing of the men involved.
Also, that the scientific prestige of the Garden was threatened by the large amount of mechanical labor placed upon the shoulders of its scientific men, and that the solution of this problem lay in a material increase in the number of museum aids.
The Director-in-Chief was requested to present these resolutions at the next meeting of the Board of Managers, accompanying them with statements of the service rendered to the Garden by members of the staff, and of their scientific records.
It was also resolved that the Board of Managers be
( 229)
requested to establish the position of Associate Curator for such members of the staff as may be considered capable of ultimately assuming the duty of curatorships.
he recommendations contained in these resolutions were favorably considered by the Board of Managers at their next meeting, and provision was made for substantial in- creases in the salaries of the members of the staff, and for additional museum assistance.
Although conditions are such that the full benefit of these new provisions cannot be at once realized, yet the action here reported must be regarded as of vital importance to the scientific success and progress of the Garden. The permanent retention in the staff of men whose scientific work is of a more or less continuous character is requisite to the integrity of the results, as well as to economy in the expenditure of time, and the new arrangements are highly conducive to such permanency.
We are happy to record also that Mrs. Elizabeth G. Britton was appointed by the Board of Managers as Honor- ary Curator of the Moss Collections, at its meeting of May 23.
Another important change affecting the staff members is the printing after their titles in the Garden publications of designations of the field of botany in which their major activities respectively lie.
The scientific work of the Garden for the year has been both extensive and important, as may be seen by reference to the reports of the Curator, the Librarian and the Director of the Laboratories.
The completion of the new museum cases opens the way for extensive additions to our exhibits during 1913.
he explorations of the year have included an expedition by the Director-in-Chief, accompanied by Mrs. Britton and Mr. Wilson, to the West Indies, with the special object of completing our information concerning the cactaceous flora of that region; one by the Director-in-Chief for the study of the autumnal flora of Bermuda; one by Dr. Small to Florida,
( 230 )
in company with Professor Hugo de Vries, and work in Cuba by Dr. Shafer.
Material additions have been made to our collections of living Cactaceae, and especially to our colored drawings of these plants, as well as of the Orchidaceae.
Important researches have been conducted concerning the diseases of our forest trees and the best methods of checking them.
The collection and study of fungi has proceeded most actively and effectively, especially on the part of Assistant Director Murrill, and our Mycotocra, which is largely devoted to recording the results of this work, is universally recognized as an authoritative publication in this depart- ment of botany.
The Scientific Directors have, at two meetings, discussed the practicability of publishing a large, handsomely illus- trated quarto work on American fungi, and the subject is still under consideration.
The Garden has participated in a number of scientific meetings throughout the country, special mention being here made of a convention of scientific societies held in Washington, D. C., a convention held at Harrisburg, Pa., for the discussion of the chestnut canker, a celebration by Pittsburgh University and the Centennial Celebration of the Philadelphia Academy of Science.
A notable accomplishment of the year has been the completion of the Cox memorial fund, and the installation in the Library, in a special case, of the Cox collection of Darwiniana.
The monthly conferences of the staff which have been held during the year are also worthy of special notice. These conferences tend not only to promote effectiveness in indi- vidual work, but also solidarity in the general work of the staff, by keeping its several members informed as to the mutual relations of their respective contributions.
The public educational work of the Garden has shown distinct progress. Not only have the regular spring and fall
(231)
courses of public lectures been given, but so marked was the increase in attendance upon, and interest in the fall course, that it was decided to try the innovation of a short winter course also. The results of this experiment have been quite satisfactory.
A similar increase has been observed in the public interest in our provision of guides for conducting the public about the grounds.
The regular lectures and demonstrations to the children of the public schools were given in the fall, but no arrange- ments for the spring were made by the school authorities.
In connection with the lecture work, reference should be made to the rearrangement of the lantern slide collection in new cases, which greatly facilitates their use and also promotes their safety and preservation.
No other improvement of the year, perhaps, has been relatively so productive of good results as the indication upon the cases of the Herbarium of the location of the different families. Those who are using these cases daily become familiar with such location, but to others, fully one half of the time formerly consumed in oneal ae this herbarium is now saved.
e membership of our Board has been strengthened by the addition to it of Mr. Eugene P. Bicknell, whose critical studies of our local flora have contributed greatly to the accuracy of our knowledge concerning it.
As heretofore, we have to acknowledge, with grateful appreciation, the generosity of contributors to our special funds, by which alone we have been enabled to maintain the extent and quality of our scientific accomplishments.
Respectfully submitted, H. H. Russy,
Chairman.

REPORT OF THE SECRETARY AND DIRECTOR- IN-CHIEF FOR THE YEAR 1913
(Accepted and ordered printed, January 12, 1914.) To THE Boarp or MAnacers oF THE NEw York Boran-
ICAL GARDEN.
Gentlemen: I have the honor to submit herewith my report as Secretary and Director-in-Chief for the year ending January 12, 1914.
The development of the institution has been continued during the year and its usefulness has been increased. Permanent construction work by contract under city appro- priations includes the completion of about 2,000 running feet of park wall and fence on the eastern boundary along the Bronx Boulevard; retaining walls at the Bedford Park Boulevard entrance and at the Woodlawn Road entrance; and a small ornamental shelter-house on the eastern border of the herbaceous grounds; city construction appropriations are now completely expended. Permanent construction work by Garden laborers includes the building of a path 345 feet long connecting the path system and flower gardens at conservatory range no. I with the front approach to the museum building; the partial building of a path 617 feet long northward through the pine collection from the west end of the flower gardens at conservatory range no. I; and the partial building of a loop of the path system of the north meadows, near the Bronx River at its bend along the river woods, 588 feet long.
Considerable filling and grading has been continued at the
(253 )
Woodlawn Road entrance, the earth supplied by contractors engaged in excavating cellars in the vicinity, amounting to several thousand cubic yards, and dumped without expense where directed, shaping the surfaces so as to now permit the building of the path system of the northwestern corner of the grounds and the planting of that area. Following the completion of the Bronx Boulevard boundary fence, the grounds at the Bleecker Street entrance were graded and planted with shrubs and trees, and a sodded grass gutter 500 feet long, was built along the higher portion of this wall to protect its foundations from rain-storms. Banks along the river road and at the Bedford Park Boulevard entrance have been regulated, graded and planted.
The natural features of the reservation have been pro- tected against fire and vandalism and their beauty has suffered no deterioration. At conservatory range no. I, additional flower gardens aggregating 890 feet in length, averaging 8 feet in width, were graded and planted, backed by plantations of low evergreens, made possible by a gift of $1,500 from Mr. James A. Scrymser; at the east end of this conservatory, a new rose garden 250 feet long was installed, and considerable additional arboretum planting was accomplished through gifts aggregating $300 by MIrs. Florence Lydig Sturgis.
The collections of hardy herbaceous perennials, of shrubs and of trees have been increased by many plants obtained from various sources; special attention has been given to the hardy herbaceous perennials. Noteworthy additions have also been made to the collections under glass, among them many cacti obtained through our cooperation with the Carnegie Institution of Washington in the investigation of that family of plants; six tall palms through the continued interest of Mrs. Finley J. Shepard; and many plants brought by our collecting expedition in the West Indies and by exchange with other institutions. The work of labeling the plant collections has been continued, both the grounds and the greenhouses thus becoming museums of living plants.
(255)
The number of species and varieties under glass and in the open is 13,305; most of them are now labeled, and in some cases, such as common trees, as many as 50 individuals of a kind are labeled.
The museums have been enriched by authentic specimens of economic products, noteworthy among them being a collection of raw materials and volatile oils used in per- umery, presented by the Manufacturing Perfumers’ Asso- ciation; by rare fruits and seeds from various sources; and by photographs, drawings and an elegant series of paintings of the larger fungi of the vicinity, and other paintings, executed by Miss Mary E. Eaton. The herbarium has been increased by 49,000 specimens from all parts of the world, mainly by exchange with other institutions and by our own expeditionary work. Bound books added to the library aggregate 1,352 volumes. The laboratory equipment was increased by additional microscope lenses and other apparatus. Experimental work in plant breeding was con- tinued along several lines. Many advanced students and investigators from colleges, agricultural stations and uni- versities have been given facilities for their researches over a wide range of plant life and plant phenomena. Consider- able investigational work has been accomplished by members of the staff, but largely outside of required time of attend- ance. The correspondence of the Garden is increasing; an attempt is made to answer all of the numerous questions asked and to give the information requested.
Thirty-five public lectures were delivered on Saturday afternoons from April to November. Lectures and demon- strations in nature study were given to children and teachers of the public schools in April and May. The several publications have been continued. Our docents have con- ducted many parties of children and adults through the grounds and buildings, and the privilege of docentry instruc- tion is highly appreciated by visitors.
Permanent funds have been increased by gifts, subscriptions and bequests aggregating over $117,000, the total permanent
(256)
funds of the corporation now aggregating over $520,000. It is desired to increase these to not less than $1,000,000, in order to permit expansion of the educational and scientific work of the institution, the increase of its collections, the further ornamentation of the grounds, and thus to develop its usefulness. Grading and Drainage
In addition to the filling accomplished on the north side of the approach to the Woodlawn Road entrance, minor modifications of the surface have been made at a number of points, contingent upon path building work in the pinetum and on the north meadows. The filling of marshy areas in the northern part of the grounds has been continued, and two stagnant pools along the Bronx River have been partly filled. A small amount of drain-pipe has been laid at several points, connecting with main drains previously constructed, and several additional catch-basins have been built.
Roads and Paths
No new road construction has been practicable. The unfinished road through the eastern portion of the arboretum remains as it was a year ago, awaiting the paving of the Bronx Boulevard.
Path construction referred to above has reduced the un- finished system, as planned, to approximately a mile and a half. The work done this year was accomplished by Garden funds, no city construction appropriation being available. Some additional guard rails have been erected along paths, and this work is going forward during the winter. There is need for several thousand running feet of additional guard rails along paths and trails in various portions of the grounds.
e€ maintenance of roads has been accomplished by the Park Department, as provided in the Garden’s Charter.
Bridges
All the bridges are in good repair and no considerable work has been necessary on any of them. The wooden bridge
(257)
below the water-fall near the Lorillard Mansion was removed by the Park Department during December, and its demoli- tion has greatly increased the beauty of the river valley at that point, the view of the water-fall from the concrete bridge across the Bronx gorge being now unobstructed.
Waiter Supply
There has been no modification of the water supply system during the year. When funds become available, it will be desirable to construct a system of two-inch supply pipes on the terrace of conservatory range no. I, in order to provide convenient irrigation for the new flower gardens at the foot of the terrace around that building and for plantations to be established on the terrace itself.
Buildings
The new pergola or shelter-house on the east side of the herbaceous grounds finished during the year is a useful and ornamental structure.
Much repair work has been necessary on the older build- ings. ‘The exterior roof surfaces of conservatory range no. 1 were completely painted and all glass panes carefully gone over and made secure. At power house no. I, it was found necessary to tear down and reset the brickwork of all five boilers. Several hundred feet of new steam radiating pipes were necessary in conservatory range no. I, and minor re- pairs were made to the steam mains in the museum building and the steam heating system of conservatory range no. 2. The terra-cotta cornices on the northeast side of the museum building were repointed and partially reset. Much work has been necessary on the roof of the museum building in relaying tiles, in continuation of the defects in this roof which became apparent several years ago. About one half the area of the roof of power house no. I was similarly relaid.
The repair work accomplished during the year continues the buildings in reasonably good condition, but considerable
(258 )
work will evidently be necessary during the coming year in order to maintain this standard.
Detailed accounts of construction and maintenance will be found in the report of the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds hereto appended.
Approach to the Bronx Park Elevated Railroad Station
During the summer, it was found that the cement surface of the approach to the Bronx Park station of the Inter- borough Rapid Transit Company required repairs, owing to a slight settlement of its foundations which had caused some cracks and made the surface uneven. ‘The agreement between this railroad company and the Garden, dated April 29, 1902, provides that this platform shall be main- tained in good order by the Garden and the Company will from time to time repay the reasonable expense of main- tenance. Estimates for the work were obtained from three contractors, and on September 29, the work was awarded Robert R. Fox, for the sum of $375.00. It was completed in October, the contractor paid in November, and the sum of $375.00 was refunded to the Garden by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company in December.
Boundary Walls and Fences
The completion of the Park Department contract with Louis Koenig for the construction of 2,000 feet of boundary wall and fence along the Bronx Boulevard, together with suitable entrances, has greatly improved the eastern boun- dary of the Garden, and satisfactorily protects it from intru- sion on that side. The available funds were not sufficient to enable us to construct this fence the entire length of the eastern boundary, about 300 feet more being required at its southern end.
The wall and fence built some years ago on the south- western boundary from the elevated railroad station to the Southern Boulevard entrance is in good condition and is being repainted this winter. The fence along the Harlem
(259)
Division of the New York Central and Hudson River Rail- road built several years ago by that railroad company is in good condition and has needed no repairs.
Plants and Planting During both spring and autumn, additional planting was accomplished in many parts of the grounds and the older plantations were variously modified. The extension of the flower gardens at the foot of the terrace around conservatory range no. I nearly completes the installation of collections in that area, except such planting as may subsequently be done on the top of the terrace. The new planting was mostly made possible by the fol- lowing contributions to the Plant Fund.

The collections under glass have been modified by the elimination and distribution of duplicates and by the addi- tion of species hitherto unrepresented, the general arrange- ment of these collections remaining unchanged.
A detailed account of gardening operations will be found in the report of the Head Gardener hereto submitted.
Natural Features
The hemlock grove has been continuously patrolled by keepers and has lost none of its beauty. A few fires have been promptly quenched and visitors have been mostly kept to the fenced trails; the restriction of visitors to the trails has greatly enhanced the attractiveness of the woodland, much of the undergrowth which had been tramped down a few years ago being now replaced by the native plants. Lack of available funds has prevented the completion of guard rails along some of the trails, and it is most desirable that several thousand additional feet of railing be constructed in the near future. A violent rain storm on the afternoon of August 10 uprooted some forty-three trees in various parts of the grounds, but no rare species were lost.
( 260)
The natural features of the river woods and of the north meadows remain essentially unchanged and, since the com- pletion of most of the path system in these areas, have become much more accessible to visitors.
Museums and Herbarium
A detailed account of additions to the museums and her- barium and of other work on these collections will be found in the report of the Head Curator hereto appended. The general arrangement of the collections remains as before, but many of the series of specimens have been modified by addition and substitution. The additional cases provided last year for the economic museum have been filled, and more cases are now needed on all four floors of the museum building to properly display and conserve the collections still in storage.
Library
The report of the Librarian shows noteworthy progress in building up the collection of books, the addition of 1,352 bound volumes having been largely accomplished by binding volumes previously obtained and by the installation of the Charles Finney Cox collection of Darwiniana. Only small sums have been available for expenditure for the purchase of books. The desirability of financial provision for the purchase of older literature of botany and horticulture still remains, and, as I have mentioned in previous reports, many of these books are becoming increasingly more difficult to secure.
The establishment of the position of Bibliographer at the beginning of the year and the appointment of Dr. John Hendley Barnhart to this position have greatly added to the efficiency of library work and the giving out of informa- tion concerning the literature of botany and horticulture.
Laboratories No considerable change has been made in the equipment or arrangement of the laboratories. Special facilities have
(261 )
been granted to 21 advanced students and investigators during the year, as recorded in the report of the Director of the Laboratories hereto appended. The experimental garden at the nurseries has been operated in conjunction with the laboratories under the immediate direction of Dr. Stout, and several students have availed themselves of these facilities for work in plant genetics.
The tropical laboratory at Cinchona, Jamaica, rented from the Jamaica Government ten years ago was taken back by the Jamaica authorities at the termination of our lease, and will be maintained by them as a scientific station, to which properly credited students will be admitted.
Public Instruction
The Saturday afternoon public lectures from April 5 to November 29 had an average attendance of 92 auditors. Lectures and demonstrations to children and teachers of the public schools were given from April 22 to May 14. Instruction and guidance by docents has been accomplished during the year whenever application has been made for this assistance. A complete record of the educational work and of publications issued is given in the report of the Assis- tant Director hereto appended.
Fleral Exhibitions
The exhibitions of plants and flowers held monthly during the summer in cooperation with the Horticultural Society of New York attracted large numbers of visitors. As previously, these were installed in the basement of the museum building.
Exploration
In codperation with the Carnegie Institution of Wash- ington, an expedition was organized in January for further studies of the West Indian flora, with special reference to the cacti; an account of the work of this expedition will be found in Garden Journal for May, 1913. Collections were made in the Virgin Islands, on St. Croix, St. Kitts, Antigua, Porto Rico, Santo Domingo and Curacao; important addi-
( 262 )
tions to knowledge were made and our representation of West Indian plants and specimens largely increased. Bermuda was again visited during September, with special reference to the cultivated plants of that island.* Dr. John K. Small, Head Curator, explored Lake Okeechobee, Florida, and the surrounding everglades during parts of November and December, in continuation of his previous studies on the flora of southern Florida, and returned with a large and representative collection.
Investigations
The research work of members of the Garden staff is described in their reports hereto apepnded, and that of students and visiting investigators is recorded in the report of the Director of the Laboratories. Grants from the income of the Students’ Research Fund have been made to some students to aid them in prosecuting investigations, and scholarships were granted to six students
Preservation of Native Plants
The available income of the Caroline and Olivia E. Phelps Stokes Fund for the preservation of native plants was utilized for the continuation of the illustration in color of wild flowers requiring protection from indiscriminate picking, and nine species have now been portrayed, with accompany- ing descriptions written by Mrs. Britton. It is proposed to group eight of these illustrations in frames, suitably lettered, and to distribute them to schools in the city and its vicinity.
Administration
Dr. W. A. Murrill, Assistant Director, and Mr. R. S. Williams, Adwinistrative Assistant, have aided in the administrative work of the institution throughout the year. I have supervised all construction work, which has been under the immediate direction of Mr. Arthur J. Corbett, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds. The installation of additions to the collections and the care of the collections have been under the immediate direction of Mr. George V.

(263')
Nash, Head Gardener, and of Dr, John K. Small, Head Curator. I have continued the investigation of the cactus family in codperation with Dr. J. N. Rose, of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, and have also continued studies on the West Indian flora.
Financial Considerations
The city appropriation for maintenance of grounds, build- ings and collections for 1914 is $107,163. In order to ensure satisfactory maintenance and the proper remuneration of employees, it is necessary for us to supplement this appro- priation by about $20,000, as shown by our budget for 1914.
Through the work of the endowment fund committee appointed November 14, 1912, and through bequests, gifts and subscriptions, over $117,000 has been received by the Garden, the income of which will be about $5,000 annually, specified for scientific and educational work, the total Garden income from all sources being about $35,000 for 1914. It is much desired that this income be increased to at least $50,000 annually, in order to provide for the purchase of books, plants and specimens, for extension of the educational and scientific work of the institution, for the exploration of regions botanically little known, and for the further ornamentation of the grounds. The endowment fund committee was con- tinued at the meeting of the Board of Managers held No- vember 10, 1913, and will gratefully receive further additions to the permanent funds.
Reports Appended
Reports are appended by the Assistant Director, the Head Gardener, the Head Curator of the Museums and Her- barium, the Honorary Curator of the Economic Collections, the Director of the Laboratories, the Librarian, the Bibliog- rapher, and the Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds; and a schedule of expenditures by the Accountant.
Respectfully submitted, N. RITTON, Director-in-Chief.

Scientific Meetings
The monthly conferences of members of the staff and students have been continued, and a report of each meeting has been published in the current numbers of the JourNAL.
The Torrey Botanical Club has met each month as usual in the morphological laboratory of the museum building.
The Horticultural Society of New York, in codperation with the New York Botanical Garden, held exhibitions of plants and flowers in the museum building on May to and 11, June 7 and 8, July 5 and 6, and September 6 and 7. Ac- counts of these exhibitions were published in the JouRNAL for June, July, August, and September.
The New York Library Club held its October meeting at the Garden on the afternoon of Thursday, October 9, with an attendance of 160. Illustrated lectures were given by Dr. N. L. Britton and by Dr. Raymond L. Ditmars.
The New York Forestry Association held a meeting on October 17 in the lecture hall of the New York Botanical Garden. An account of this meeting was published in the Journau for October.
Personal Investigations
Increasing administrative and curatorial duties have left me comparatively little time to devote to investigation. However, the preparation of two parts of Nort AMERICAN Fora is in progress and these will probably be completed within a few months.
Several weeks were spent in Europe during the summer, mainly at Paris, Trient, and London, for the purpose of comparing American specimens of fungi with original material preserved in European herbaria. Such comparisons are a necessary basis for all reliable monographic work on American fungi.
Work has been continued on the fungous flora of tropical and western North America, a total of 74 previously un- described species having been published by me from these regions during the year.
(269 )
The popular illustrated articles on fungi in Mycotocia have been continued, with the aid of colored plates and halftones. Twenty-eight species have been treated in this series during the year.
Respectfully submitted, W. A. Mourritt, Assistant Director.
REPORT OF THE HEAD GARDENER Dr. N. L. Britrron, Direcror-1n-CHIEF Sir: I have the honor to submit herent the following ee for the year 1913.
Systematic Plantations
HeErsaceous Grounps. There are in the herbaceous collections, including those at the nurseries, about 2,900 species and varieties. The beds in this tract number 128. Individual show labels to the number of 597 have been made for this tract. 20 family signs have also been made. The fern bed was entirely overhauled and a number of additional species included. The details of the curatorial work here and in the other herbaceous collections have been under the efficient direction, since July 1, of Mr. K. R. Boynton, Head Gardener’s Assistant.
Fruticetum. There are about 1,750 specimens here. With those still at the nurseries, there are represented in the shrub collections about 825 species and varieties.
SaLiceTuM. There are here about 115 specimens, repre- senting 40 species and varieties.
Decipuous ArBorETuM. About 305 species and varieties are represented in this collection, including those native to the tract and in the nurseries. 381 show labels have been made. The principal additions here were the gift of Mrs. Florence Lydig Sturgis. This gift included 75 Japanese cherry trees and 45 miscellaneous trees, decorative forms of the English hawthorn, the red-flowered dogwood, and the horse-chestnut and Laburnum. The Japanese cherry
(270)
trees were added in the spring to the group already presented by Mrs. Sturgis, extending that collection through the little valley to the river road, including the triangle formed by the paths. These trees have made a very satisfactory growth during the past summer. A group of the red dog- wood, 20 trees, included in the gift of Mrs. Sturgis, was located just to the south of the ash collection. The forms of the English hawthorn were put in the east end of the area devoted to the plum and apple families. The plants of Laburnum were placed in the apex of the triangle in the area devoted to the pea family.
Pinetum. The collections of Chamaecyparis and Junt- perus located at the terrace of conservatory range 1 have been extended in each case to the plaza. A number of plants in the pinetum collections which had died or become seriously injured were replaced with other individuals. The corner opposite the conservatory, formed by the new path, was planted with 16 trees of the Colorado blue spruce, taken from the nearby conservatory beds. A group of the tiger-tail spruce, Picea polita, was placed in the triangle formed by the two new paths. The coniferous collections represent about 285 species and varieties, embracing about 1,115 specimens. 322 show labels have been added.
ViticeTuM. There are about 50 species and varieties here.
Conservatories. The collections of tender plants, in- cluding those at the propagating houses, represent about 8,900 species and varieties, embracing 207 families and 1,510 genera. The total number of plants in the conservatories is 17,340.
Range No.1. The collections here comprise 10,875 plants, distributed as follows: house no. I, 291; no. 2, 378; no. 3, 463; no. 4, 494; no. 5, 1,397; no. 6, 549; no. 7, 986; no. 8, 590; no. 9, 146; no. 10, 939; no. II, 439; no. 12, 1,179; no. 13, §02; no. 14, 7545 no. 15, 1,575; cellar, 193. Show labels added, 2,122.
Range No. 2. The plants here number 6,465, distributed
(271 )
as follows: house no. 1, 75; no. 2, 138; no. 3, 53; no. 4, 1,174; no. 5, 2,060; no. 6, 1,623; no. 7, 1,212; cellar and runway, 130. 46 show labels have been added.
PropacaTine Houses anp Nurseries. The plants here, excluding those under the immediate control of the director of the laboratories, number 9,097. 1,376 packets of seeds have been received, as follows: by gift, 95; by exchange, 1,307; collected on exhibitions, 16. In addition to the above, 720 packets have been derived from the collections on the grounds. House no. 2 and parts of other houses have been devoted to the plants under the control of the director of the laboratories. Houses 5 and 6 and a part of no. I have held the succulent plants, mainly cacti. The enclosure in the nursery has been much enlarged to accommodate the increased experimental work being carried on.
LaBeinc, ReEcorpine AND Herparium. Accession num- bers 37,037 to 39,307 have been recorded, making a total of 2,271 accessions. 4,579 show labels have been made, as follows: deciduous arboretum, 381; herbaceous grounds, 597; economic garden, 28; morphologic garden, 12; west border, 170; pinetum, 322; roads and paths, 78; conserva- tory decorative beds, 593; decorative beds, elevated ap- proach to conservatories, 51; elevated approach border, 43; conservatory range I, 2,122; conservatory range 2, 46; rose bed, 136.
The following plants have been acquired: by gift, 327, valued at about $650.00; by exchange, 1,087; by purchase, including 30,612 bulbs, 34,128; collections made by members of the staff and others, 1,041; derived from seeds from various sources, 2,481; total, 39,064.
50 specimens have been added to the herbarium of cultivated plants. The collections contain approximately the following number of species and varieties: conserva- tories, 8,900; herbaceous, 2,900; fruticetum, 825; salicetum, 40; deciduous schorentm 305; pinetum, 285; viticetum, 50; total, 13,305.
(272)
Miscellaneous Collections
Morpuotocic GarDEN. This remains about as it was last year. 12 show labels have been added.
Economic Garpen. For the better display of the plants here and to accommodate an increased number of repre- sentatives, five new beds were added and others enlarged. This required a rearrangement of the beds devoted to foods. 28 show labels were added.
Desert Piants. A large part of the collections of desert plants, i in houses 5 to 8, were placed, as usual, in the beds in the court of conservatory range I
Conservatory Lity Poors. The collection of tender water lilies here was of unusual excellence the past summer.
he Paraguay royal water lily, Victoria cruziana, made numerous flowers and perfected seed. The hardy water lilies also made a splendid showing. These collections of aquatics and the contrasting collections of desert plants nearby make one of the most interesting and instructive features of the institution.
Aquatic GarpEN. Additional planting was done here. The water lilies gave a profusion of bloom during the entire summer, especially the forms of Castalia tuberosa and the pink hybrids of Marliac.
RHODODENDRON Banks. In addition to the profusion of rhododendron blooms, there was a fine display during the summer of the various species of lilies planted here. Lilies do especially well among these shrubs, the soil conditions being suitable tothem. The mulching of old leaves, and the consequent covering of leaf mold, with the watering, give the lily bulbs the moist cool surroundings they desire.
Rost Bep. The rose bed, at the foot of the east terrace of conservatory range I, was installed in the spring. It is about 250 feet long and ag feet wide. It was thoroughly prepared by trenching to a depth of 18 to 24 inches, sub- soiled, and enriched with manure. This preparation was fully justified by the results, for the rose delights in a deep rich soil, sending its roots down, enabling it to withstand the
( 273 )
trying droughts of our summers. The plants did remarkably well, making an excellent growth and coming into flower early in the summer, a profusion of bloom continuing the summer through, lasting through the fall, the last buds developing early in December. A large assortment of roses, 136 kinds, were included in the collection, represented by a little over 400 bushes, including hybrid perpetuals, hybrid teas, teas, baby ramblers, moss roses, and others. he rose is loved by all, so this bed proved of exceptional interest to visitors.
OTHER Decorative Piantations. Here are included the following: beds in the immediate vicinity of conserva- tory range 1; those at the elevated approach, west border, and along the paths from the elevated to the conservatories; and groups of shrubbery, including the collection of lilacs presented by Mr. T. A. Havemeyer.
General Horticultural Operations
For the conduct of this work, the following monthly men have been available: two foreman-gardeners, 21 gardeners, one garden aid, and four drivers for the open season. In addition to the above, the following laborers were assigned to the foreman-gardener in charge of the outside work: June to August, 21 or 22 men; September, 17 men; October, 15 men; November, 14 or 15 men. A considerable portion of the time of the laborers was employed on other than horti- cultural work.
In the conservatories and propagating houses, the imme- diate direction of the work was under Richard Richter, foreman-gardener, up to June 3, at which time he resigned, being succeeded by William Becker, formerly in charge of the propagating houses. At the same time, Fred Hyam, formerly second in charge at conservatory range I, was put in charge of the propagating houses, being succeeded at conservatory range 1 by O’Hare. For the prosecution of the work under glass, there has been available a force, in addition to the foreman-gardener, of 15 gardeners, one garden aid, and one laborer.
(274)
The outside work has been under the direction of foreman- gardener John Finley, who has had the assistance of the remainder of the assigned force, viz., six gardeners, 13 to 21 laborers, depending on the time of the season, and four drivers.
In addition to the regular routine horticultural operations, the following new work has been done:
In the Spring
The preparation of the ground and the planting of the additional Japanese cherry trees given by Mrs. Sturgis, to
which allusion has already been made. In the vicinity of conservatory range 1, the following work was accomplished: a partial overhauling of the shrub and tree planting in the decorative beds, the surplus material being used elsewhere, mainly in the pinetum; the preparation of the rose bed, about 250 feet long by eight feet wide, it being trenched and subsoiled especially for rose cultivation; the beds at the foot of the terrace, with the exception of the two long plots to the north, were planted with evergreens and deciduous shrubs, about 280 plants being used, secured from the nursery and decorative beds at conservatory range I, all but about 25 of them evergreens; the end beds at the foot of the north terrace were planted with herbaceous plants; the small bed at each end of the series of seven was planted in the centre with evergreens and deciduous shrubs, the eight foot border with herbaceous plants. The immediate surroundings of the shelter house in the herbaceous grounds were planted with shrubs. The points at the Newell Avenue entrance were planted with Japanese barberries. A red oak tree was placed to the east of the museum building. The triangle to the east of the museum, at the entrance of the path to the economic garden, was planted with Viburnum acerifolium A tree of Paulownia was placed in the triangle near the fountain enclosure, to replace the hickory removed. In the fruticetum, 26 more rose bushes were added to the decorative group between the main road and path in the vicinity of the rose family.
(275)
In the Fall
In the immediate vicinity of conservatory range 1, the following work was done: the two long plots at the foot of the north terrace were broken up and an eight foot border of herbaceous plants installed, each border about 190 feet long; the beds in the court, devoted during the summer months to a display of desert plants, were planted with early spring tulips; the circle in the plaza was also planted with early spring tulips; tulips were planted in the new decorative beds, and replacements of the same made in the old beds; plants of the knee pine and the glaucous form of the red cedar were placed in the principal corners in the court.
The banks near the railroad at the Southern Boulevard entrance were planted with Symphoricarpos. Shrubs and 5 red oak trees were planted west of the long bridge. To the coniferous group to the west of the long bridge, 2 plants of Pinus parviflora were added, and in the low ground near the aquatic garden 16 plants of the white cedar, Chamaecy- paris thyoides, were planted. To the decorative group of willows in the fruticetum, 9 more plants were added. In the low land at the west end of the west lake, 25 plants of Amelanchier Botryapium were placed. In the triangle at the drinking fountain at the west end of the west lake, 16 plants of Azalea nudiflora were planted. On the east bank of the river road were planted 75 Azalea nudiflora. A screen of shrubs was placed in front of the rubbish pile at the herbaceous grounds. Shrubs and 5 elm trees were planted at the east entrance. The points on the east and west sides of the north bridge were planted with Symphori- carpos. Many plants of Hibiscus, from the collection of Dr. Stout in the nursery, were planted on both sides of the river south of the north bridge. The collection of thorns in the bed in the center of the fruticetum plaza was overhauled and replanted. The beds at the fountain were planted with tulips. Replacements of tulips were also made in the west border south. Many small tulip bulbs, derived from the plantings of the previous year but too small for use in formal
(276)
plantings, were placed in the bed of deutzias and related shrubs near the depot.
Investigations and Lectures
In addition to routine duties, I have done much work upon the orchids, with a view to their systematic treatment for Nortu AMERIcAN Fitors. Much more of my time is being devoted to horticultural botany, and it is my desire to continue this.
I have given four lectures in the regular courses of public lectures at the Garden, and two of the lectures to the school children in the spring.
Respectfully submitted, GeorceE V. Nasu, Head Gardener.
REPORT OF THE HEAD CURATOR OF THE MUSEUMS AND HERBAR
Dr. N. L. Britron, Drrector-1n-CHIEF.
Sir: I submit herewith my report as Head Curator of the Museums and Herbarium for the year 1913.
The collections under my charge were conserved and developed on the lines and by the methods outlined in my previous annual reports.
Accessions. The museum and herbarium specimens received during the year were accessioned from month to month in the JournaL. The methods of acquisition and the number of specimens received may be expressed as follows:
By gift and purchase. .......... .. 10,799 By exchange.... .......0.0..0.0.. 8,094 By exploration.... ©. 0... .......00. 16,907
Thus an aggregate of 35,804 specimens from nearly all parts of the world was brought together.
A total of 20,246 duplicate specimens was sent to other institutions and to individuals in exchange.
(277)
Museums The equipment of the public museums was substantially augmented by the installation of sixteen exhibition cases in the economic museum, and by glass jars as follows:
Specimen jar 2605. Whital Tatum Company
Diameter of Body Height to shoulder Number 2 inches 5 inches 36 3. inches 8 inches 144 334 inches 10 inches 144 4% inches 12 inches 144 Total.......... 468
Fossin Prant Museum. Floor case number 7, devoted to an exhibit of the cretaceous flora of New York City and vicinity, was rearranged and many of the old specimens replaced by better ones recently acquired. The other cases remained essentially as they were last year with the exception of the replacing of occasional specimens. Copy for labels for all unlabeled specimens has been prepared and is ready to go to the printer.
Economic Museum. The addition of the sixteen exhibi- tion cases already referred to made possible an expansion and rearrangement of the collections of foods and fibers. Many specimens previously held in storage were interpolated in their proper places. The three more noteworthy addi- tions to this collection were, (1), the foundation of a Per- fumery Exhibit, consisting of raw materials and volatile oils, presented by the Manufacturing Perfumers’ Association, (2), a large collection of crude drugs presented by Dr. H. H. Rusby, and (3), miscellaneous specimens secured through exploration by the Garden, chiefly in the West Indies. For further notes on this collection, see Report of the Honorary Curator of the Economic Collections.
Systematic Museum. The four divisions of this museum were maintained as heretofore. An important element was added to the fungous part of the Local Flora Exhibit. This is noted below.
(278 )
The Synoptic Collection. With the exception of the addi- tion of miscellaneous specimens, this division of the Sys- tematic Museum remained as it was during the previous year.
The Local Flora Exhibit. A large number of hand-colored paintings of the local fleshy fungi was installed in their proper sequence in this collection and thoroughly labeled. This exhibit has been in preparation for several years, and will be of great importance to students of the local fungi.
Microscope Exhibit. This collection was renovated several times during the year and was kept in as good condition as possible. Slight deterioration consequent upon the nature of its construction and its constant use demands some repairs as early next year as possible.
The Plant Photograph Exhibit. No additions were made to this. Many more photographic enlargements have been prepared and are held for the further development of this exhibit.
Herbaria
The four herbarium cases mentioned in my last report were available for use at the beginning of the year. They served to temporarily and partially relieve the — in the fungous collection, the moss collection, and t flowering plant collection.
Large additions of herbarium specimens bearing directly on the scientific work of the Garden were secured from many parts of America, chiefly from various parts of Canada, United States, Mexico, Central America, and the West Indies. These specimens were incorporated in the perma- nent collection as far as received. They are of great use in our work on NortH AMERICAN F Lora,
GarpEN Hersarium. This collection is becoming more complete and more serviceable every year. Valuable collec- tions of fungi from America, Europe, and the Philippine Islands were added to it, and the Gerard fungous herbarium is being incorporated. Several rare exsiccatae of algae were secured and have been mounted. The specimens of hepatics of the Mitten and the Underwood herbaria have been in-
(279)
corporated in the general collection. All current exsiccatae of mosses, many specimens from the Mitten moss herbarium, and various other collections have enriched the large moss herbarium. Ferns from tropical America were added to the fern herbarium. Flowering plants were added from all parts of the world, but particularly from North and South America.
Cotumsia University Hersarium. Miscellaneous speci- mens of flowerless and flowering plants presented to Colum- bia University, together with some specimens from the Morong herbarium, were mounted and distributed into the collection. Some duplicate specimens of rare species mounted for the Garden herbarium were also incorporated in the Columbia herbarium in order to facilitate the studies in certain groups.
MountTinG anp ConsERVING oF HERBARIUM SPECIMENS. A special attempt to mount and incorporate the accumula- tion of herbarium specimens yielded good results. Most of the American specimens, together with such foreign speci- mens as are of immediate use in current investigations, were mounted and distributed in the herbarium cases.
A total of 33,000 sheets of mounting paper was used. This represents an aggregate of about 49,000 specimens added to the permanent collections. In addition, several thousand specimens too bulky to mount on herbarium sheets were preserved in carboard boxes. The cardboard box equip- ment was augmented by the following supply:

Investigations and Assistance
Mr. Percy Wilson, Assistant Curator, had charge of the public lectures on Saturday afternoons between April and
( 280 )
December, and the spring course of nature-study lectures to the pupils of grades 4B and 5B of the public schools of the Borough of the Bronx. He also arranged for all photo- graphic work, and superintended the rearrangement of the negative and lantern-slide collections. In addition to his duty as docent three week-day afternoons, Mr. Wilson devoted considerable time to the instruction of special classes from schools all over Greater New York. His principal curatorial work has been the determination and distribution of the specimens of a large part of the collections from tropical America, principally West Indian, which were re- ceived during the year.
Mrs. N. L. Britton, Honorary Curator of Mosses, devoted most of her time during the spring to studying the collections made in the early part of the year, in the Danish West Indies, the Virgin Islands, and Porto Rico. She accompanied Dr. Britton to these islands and in company with Miss Marble, collected mosses, hepatics, lichens, and fungi, in various parts of St. Thomas and Porto Rico, and assisted in the care of the collections of flowering plants. During the summer and fall she continued exchanges with several of the larger European herbaria for specimens of Tortulaceae needed for monographic work for NorrH AMERICAN FLorRa. She also accompanied Dr. Britton to Bermuda, and there made further collections of mosses, hepatics, and lichens. A series of duplicate specimens of mosses, mainly from Bermuda and Jamaica, have been prepared for distribution. A critical revision of Olaf Swartz’s types of Jamaica mosses with lists of modern synonyms was prepared for the December number of the Bulletin of the Torrey Club. During the spring, four parts (nos. 6-9), of the series ‘Wild Plants Needing Protection” were published in the Journat, including the “Wild Azalea,” “Pink Moccasin Flower,” “American Laurel,” and “‘Flowering Dogwood.” She has also delivered a lecture on “Our Native Wild Flowers,” illustrated by lantern-slides, before the Garden Club of Larchmont, on the invitation of Miss Helena Flint. The accessions during the year to the moss collections included
(281 )
1,632 specimens, of which a large number were Philippine Island specimens; all these have been incorporated with the permanent collection by Mr. R. S. Williams, Administrative Assistant. Mr. Williams devoted considerable time to the study of his own collections of Philippine mosses made in 1903-1905, and assisted Mrs. Britton in the determination of specimens of genera of which he has made a special study, particularly in the Dicranaceae.
Dr. H. H. Rusby, Honorary Curator of the Economic Collections, ve devoted his time to securing specimens and preparing copy for labels. For further details, see report of the Honorary Curator of the Economic Collections.
Dr. Arthur Hollick, Curator, had charge of the collections of fossil plants. In addition to curatorial work in connection with the public exhibits, Dr. Hollick gave instruction to registered students in paleobotany, edited the BuLieTin of the Garden, delivered a lecture on ‘‘Swamps, Ancient and Modern,” and prepared and published an article with illustrations, entitled ‘‘ Pot-holes in the New York Botanical Garden.” He pursued investigations on the fossil flora of Alaska and the Pleistocene flora of Canada. Leave of absence from the Garden was granted to Dr. Hollick during March, April, May, and June, in order to allow him to prosecute studies for the United States Geological Survey on the fossil flora of Alaska. In the work of labeling, installing and rearranging specimens, Mr. Edwin W. Humphreys rendered valuable voluntary assistance.
Dr. Fred J. Seaver, Curator, continued the work of nam- ing, assorting, and mounting the fungi. Field work and collecting during the year was confined to local areas within easy reach of the Garden. ‘This resulted in the finding of several species new to science and a material strengthening of our collections, especially those of fleshy discomycetes. Critical work on several groups of fungi has been continued, and several preliminary papers published. Work on local destructive insect pests has been continued and one paper published in the Journat. Dr. Seaver continued to act as associate editor of Mycozocia. Two lectures were de-
( 282 )
livered by him in connection with the Saturday afternoon courses and one in the nature-study course given to the pupils of grades 4B and 5B of the public schools of the Borough of the Bronx.
Dr. Marshall A. Howe, Curator, continued in charge of the collections of algae and hepaticae. The work of incor- porating the Mitten and the Underwood collections of hepaticae in the general hepatic herbarium has been com- pleted, resulting, during the year, in the mounting and dis- tributing of 5,722 new herbarium sheets and 1,463 odd pock- ets of hepaticae. Of algae, 1,395 new herbarium sheets, 28 pockets, and 15 boxes have been entered in the herbarium. For the sake of preserving the actual materials from which figures and descriptions have been drawn and for facilitating microscopic comparisons of specimens, about 800 sections and other microscopic preparations of algae have been mounted in glycerine jelly on slips of mica and have been introduced into the herbarium beside the specimens.
The writer, in addition to regular curatorial work, finished monographs of the families Ericaceae and Monotropaceae for publication in NortH American Fiora. Some time was devoted to the study of specimens collected during exploration in tropical Florida in 1912, while studies on certain plants and plant-groups of the southeastern United States were carried on from time to time. As a side issue, I published a second edition of my ‘Flora of the Southeastern United States” in the spring, and also five other books which succeeded the “Flora” in the following order, “‘Flora of Miami,” “Florida Trees,” “‘Flora of the Florida Keys,” “Flora of Lancaster County” (in collaboration with J. J. Carter), and “Shrubs of Florida.” Extensive exploration was carried on in the everglades of Florida, chiefly in parts hitherto unexplored, during parts of November and Decem- ber, and some time was devoted to exploration and collecting on the lower Florida keys.
Respectfully submitted, J. K. Smatt, Head Curator of the Museums and Herbarium.

REPORT OF THE HONORARY CURATOR OF THE ECONOMIC COLLECTIONS Dr. N. L. Brirron, Drrector-1n-CuHier.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1913.
The accessions to the collections under my care number 350 specimens. Although these specimens are of a miscel- laneous character, the greater majority of them pertain to the perfumery, drug and fiber divisions of the museum. The following are worthy of special note.
A set of 63 specimens of raw materials and essential oils used in perfumery was donated by the Manufacturing Perfumers’ Association of America; our collection of aro- matic products, previously large, has become, by this aug- mentation, of great value and importance. A billet of wood and a bottle of oil distilled from the wood of Amyris bal- samtfera, from Venezuela, were donated by Messrs. Magnus Mabee & Reynard, of New York; a set of 8 native fiber plants, the fibers and some articles made of them, obtained in Cuba by Dr. J. A. Shafer; the fibers of Pouzolzia and Girardinia, from the Himalaya Mountains; the leaves and barks of Psychotria undata and P. Sulzneri, a native medicine of Florida, collected by Dr. J. K. Small; the native grapes of the vicinity of Salem, Indiana, donated by Mr. William Rudder, of that place; grapes and May-pops (Passiflora incarnata), collected by myself near Nashville, Tennessee.
The large collection of general drug products of the year is of unusual interest and importance. Many of them represent spurious substitutes, to be exhibited in our cases beside the genuine. Among the more interesting of the drug specimens may be mentioned a section of the manna ash trunk, with the exuded manna adhering; a shrub of the tragacanth plant, with the exuded tragacanth adhering to it; a specimen of Toona gum; a specimen of the sloe berries used in making sloe gin; Stenolobium leaves from Mexico; a collection of rare native drugs from Japan, in the powdered state, including the roots of two species of Paeonia; several
(284 )
specimens of ginseng, both American and Korean. From the Burbank Gardens we have received a set of living culti- vated spineless forms of Opuntia, now growing in conser- vatory range no. I.
Most of the specimens have been placed in jars, but many remain to be installed in the cases, the label printing not having been completed. A number of descriptive labels for the more important articles are ready for printing. The completion of new cases has afforded a much needed opportunity for improving the display features of the Museum.
Respectfully submitted, H. H. Russy, Honorary Curator of the Economic Collections.
REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE LABORATORIES Dr. N. L. Brirron, Drrecror-1n-CHIEF.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1913.
The Laboratories
The general arrangement of the laboratories has remained as in the previous year. Six one-twelfth oil immersion objectives, four Huyghenian oculars and one Stufen microm- eter ocular were purchased for use on microscopes already supplied. At the time these objectives were fitted, all the microscopes belonging to the Garden were overhauled and cleaned, without charge, by a mechanic from the firm of E. Leitz. An inoculating and transfer chamber especially needed in certain student investigations is now being made.
Experimental Garden and Greenhouse The experimental garden was enlarged early in the year according to your direction and an area in the propagating garden was utilized for the growing of Hibiscus and Carex. The facilities afforded by the experimental garden and green- house have been utilized fully throughout the year in the
(285 )
various invesitgations carried on by students, by Professor R. A. Harper and by myself. Cold frames constructed last spring will relieve to a considerable extent the usual conges- tion of the greenhouse during the spring months. A work room arranged for student use at the propagating houses would be a desirable feature.
Some additions have been made to the species grown because of their special interest to botanists. Among these are Oenothera grandiflora, O. Traceyi and three biotypes of O. cruciata. Four types of tomato-nightshade chimeras produced by Dr. Hans Winkler have been obtained through the courtesy of Dr. Winkler. The history and description of these chimeras was given in an article in the August number of the Garden Journat. From the Bureau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, the Garden obtained a plant descended through vegetative propagation from the hybrid between the carnation and the sweet-william made by Thomas Fairchild about 1710. It is claimed that this is the first plant hybrid produced experimentally. Continued efforts will be made to assemble plants of particular interest to students of heredity.
Routine Duties
The duties concerned with the taking of the meteoro- logical records and the secretaryship of the monthly con- ferences have, during the year, been performed along the lines indicated in my previous report. The duties incident to the editorship of THE JournaL or THE NEw York Botanica, GARDEN were assigned to me, beginning with the issue of January, 1913.
Personal Investigations Experimental studies in genetics have occupied much of my time, especially during the summer months. Several cultivated varieties of Cichorium Intybus were grown for the purpose of comparison with the common wild strains. F, generations of crosses between white-
( 286 )
flowered and blue-flowered plants, the latter both wild and cultivated, have been grown. The problems con- cerned with sterility have developed as an important phase of these investigations. Some statistical data were obtained regarding the variation in the numbers of flowers. The services of Mr. Gilman during his month of scholarship were an aid in these studies and throughout July and August Mr. Fraser assisted during the greater part of the forenoon in these studies. The studies of Cichorium will be pushed during the coming season as time and assistance will permit.
With Verbascum Blattaria, first generations of inbred lines of white and yellow races and of crosses between them were grown. Relatively few of the plants bloomed this year. It is hoped that hereafter the use of cold frames during the months of March and April will enable us to force a majority of plants into bloom in one season. During the coming year, I trust, definite data will be obtained on the problems for the treatment of which this plant seems favorable.
Progress can be reported in the studies of Hibiscus. Plants were grown from seed of types of H. Moscheutos, H. oculiroseus and H. militaris, and of various hybrid combina- tions. Wery few of these plants matured to the age of blooming. It is my plan to continue and somewhat extend these investigations.
Observations on bud-variation in Coleus Blumei have been continued throughout the year. Several new types of color pattern have appeared. More intensive studies will be made of the frequency, character and stability of the varia- tions. Morphological and cytological studies of the various types were made by Mr. E. G. Arzberger on a scholarship grant for the month of June. His interest in the problem led him to devote another month to the studies.
Some progress has been made in the breeding experiments with species of Carex. Preliminary experimentation has been made with several species not already mentioned to determine suitability for intensive study either by students or by myself
(287 )
Cytological studies have been pursued during the winter months as assiduously as time allows. I am anxious to complete several phases of cytological studies somewhat correlated with problems in heredity.
Students and Investigators
During the past year, all investigators formally registered in the records of the laboratory have been either recipients of Garden scholarships or candidates for advanced degrees at Columbia University. Several of the latter, however, have been tuition students of the Garden, doing a large part of their work under direction of members of the Garden staff. A number were primarily Columbia University students. The hearty cooperation of Professor R. A. Harper, Professor of Botany at Columbia University, has been of value in the consideration of various problems of student research. Professor William J. Gies has visited the Garden for consultation with students whose problems involve chemical investigations.
The degree of A.M. was granted by Columbia University during the year to Miss Katherine Reid and Miss Friedolina Jud, whose essays were based on investigations conducted at the Garden.
Student use of the facilities of the experimental garden and greenhouse has increased, especially as the particular problems progress. For these studies, considerable numbers of plants have been grown of Hordeum, Tricitum, Secale, Althea rosea, Abutilon, Lupinus, Phlox, and Nicotiana.
In the following list the more complete biographical data are given for new students only. In each case the problem here stated is the one under consideration at the Garden. *ALTENBERG, Epcar. A.M., Columbia Univ., 11. Assistant

REPORT OF THE BIBLIOGRAPHER
Dr. N. L. Brirron, Drrectror-1n-CHIEF.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1913.
Upon the establishment of the position of Bibliographer in January, 1913, and my appointment to it, I was informed that my duties were: (1) to assist persons seeking botanical information to be found in books; (2) to make recommendations for the purchase of books; (3) to continue editorial and bibliographic work contingent upon the publi- cation of NorrH AMERICAN FLorA
Scarcely a day has passed hee calls for assistance in the tracking of information believed to exist somewhere in the Garden library. A partial record indicates that prob- ably about a thousand such calls have been responded to during the year. The number, however, gives little idea of the amount of work involved, for in some cases the time consumed was less than five minutes, while occasionally a single problem would require an hour or more. Whatever time has been devoted to this service by the bibliographer,
* Registered at Columbia.
(291)
it gives him no little satisfaction to feel that he has thereby saved much more of the time of others. Official corre- spondence upon bibliographic questions also deserves men- tion, although it has not been large.
Recommendations for the purchase of books have scarcely occupied the bibliographer’s attention at all during the year, for the reason that the funds available for such purchases have been very limited. It is to be hoped that the condition here referred to may be speedily remedied.
Three parts of NortH AmEeRiIcAN Fiora have appeared during the year: Volume 15, Part 1, in June; Volume 15, Part 2, in August; and Volume 22, Part 5, in December. The two parts of volume 15, being the first portion of the Flora to deal with mosses, presented certain editorial and bibliographic problems not met with in the case of previous parts. Part 5 of volume 22, continuing the Rosaceae, was comparatively simple, yet the quantity of bibliographic and editorial work contingent upon the publication of 92 pages of this character is not easily comprehended by one who has not undertaken it, and tried to do it well.
Other work, outside of regular duties, has been continued during the year at such times as could be spared from daily routine. The bibliographer prepared for the January num- ber of the Journat of the Garden a “‘Catalogue of the Cox Collection of Darwiniana,”’ and for the December number of the Bulletin of the Charleston Museum a biographical sketch of the late Dr. Otto Kuntze. He also contributed the account of the family Lentibulariaceae to the second edition of Britton and Brown’s “I!lustrated Flora,” and the corre- sponding group, there called Pinguiculaceae, to Small’s “Flora of Miami,” “Flora of the Florida keys,” and “Flora of Lancaster County,” all published during the year.
Respectfully submitted, Joun Henptey Barnuart, Bibliographer.
( 292 ) REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN
Dr. N. L. Brirron, Drrecror-1n-CaIEF.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1913.
The position of Librarian at the New York Botanical Garden was assumed by me in January, 1913.
During the spring months, the work of moving and re- arranging the books was carried on, those comprising the divisions of Horticulture, Forestry, Landscape Gardening and the publications of the U. S. Department of Agriculture (in part) being removed to the new stacks in the room to the west of the reading room. This has greatly relieved the congestion which prevailed in certain parts of the library.
The Cox collection of Darwiniana referred to in the Journat for January, 1913, and in the Butietin for March of the same year has been installed in its specially constructed case which stands in the rear of the reading room. The cards for the books have been written and placed in the catalogue. Such cards bear the words “‘Cox Collection”’ in place of the usual call number.
Five framed portraits of botanists, the gift of Professor H. F. Osborne, have been presented to the library the past year, while the appearance of the other pictures has been greatly improved by remounting and by the regilding of the frames. ‘This was done through the kindness of Mrs. Britton.
During the year, 949 volumes have been bound, including 31 which are the property of Columbia University.
The accessions, including §2 gifts, have been printed in the JouRNAL as usual: 24 books have been deposited by Columbia.
The census taken at the end of the year shows 25,376 bound volumes, a net gain of 1,352 over the census of a year ago.
2,111 written cards have been added to the catalogue, while the cards issued by the Torrey Botanical Club have been written up nearly to date and also entered.

( 294 ) REPORT OF THE SUPERINTENDENT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS
Dr. N. L. Brirron, Dirrecror-1n-CuIeF.
Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report for the year 1913.
Regulating and Grading
Much of this work has been done in different parts of the Garden. Both sides of the 200th Street entrance have been graded and sodded and a guard rail 3 rails high has been erected from the piers to the railroad bridge.
Considerable grading and planting has been done on the north side of Lake no. 3. On the north side of Woodlawn Road Bridge, a retaining wall was built and the bank filled in and graded.
About 5,000 cubic yards of earth have been carted into the Garden by contractors in the neighborhood, who were looking for a convenient place to dispose of it. This earth was used to fill in the low land north of Woodlawn Road Bridge and was placed there at the expense of the contractors. A distance of 100 X 200 feet and about 18 inches deep has been graded on the east side of the Bronx River south of the Chestnut Bridge.
Both sides of the road leading to Bleecker Street entrance were regraded and planted. After the completion of the boundary fence along the Bronx Boulevard, a sodded grass gutter 500 feet long was constructed along the highest part of the wall to protect the foundations from heavy rains.
We removed 419 loads of stone, 773 loads of top soil, and 260 loads of earth. This stone was used to build paths, but principally on the path leading to conservatory range no. I from the museum building.
Drainage We have built one catch-basin at the Bleecker Street entrance, connecting with the line of drainage running north, and another 325 feet long on the east boundary line south of the Propagating Houses.
(295 )
Paths
Under the arbor on the west border of the Hemlock Grove, a path 6 feet wide and 300 feet long was constructed. A branch path Io feet wide and 345 feet long was built through the Pinetum from conservatory range no. I to the museum building. A path 617 feet long was constructed and partly paved from the east entrance of conservatory range no. I through the Pinetum to the cross road in front of the museum building.
Running south from the Chestnut Bridge, on the east side of the Bronx River, a path 588 feet long is near completion.
All paths around conservatory range no. 1 and the path leading to the Elevated Approach were resurfaced with screening. We surfaced and screened 1,580 feet of path on the east side of the new road at the east side of the grounds, and spread 230 feet of trap rock on the lower end of this road.
Buildings
A new model telephone monitor with two extensions for outside communication has been installed in the museum building. This monitor will also serve for communication throughout the museum building. Repairs were made on the roofs of power house no. 1, the stable, and the museum building. The leaders of the museum building also were repaired. ‘The rear and parts of side walls in the library and four window panels in the cryptogamic laboratory were re- plastered, and the terra cotta work of the rear cornice of the museum building was repointed.
In addition to repairs in and around grounds and buildings, the carpenters have constructed a closet and two sets of shelving in the publication room, 14 feet wide and 16 feet long, a closet for the storeroom, and another for power house no. I. They also built a cabinet for parcels post, a cabinet for the Cox Collection of Darwiniana, and a telephone booth for the top floor of the museum building. All the windows on the top floor of the museum building have been weather- stripped. The west end of the rotunda on the west side
( 296 )
of the first floor of the museum building and the exterior of conservatory range no. 1 down to the gutters have been painted. In addition to this and other painting done around the grounds, all broken glass has been replaced throughout the conservatories by the painter.
On the northwest side of the museum building in the base- ment, a 50-foot steam trench was widened to the width of four feet and covered with iron plates, set evenly with floor, so as to enable steam fitters to make repairs on pipes.
One horse was purchased. ‘The expenditures for lawn mowers, one horse, feeding and shoeing of horses, and repairs to wagons were $1,140.25.
Grounds
With the exception of the months of June, July, August and September, we have had one city officer to protect our grounds. On Sundays and holidays during these months, we have had two additional officers who patroled the grounds in the afternoons and evenings. We had had two regular keepers and eleven additional guards on Sundays and holi- days. ‘The average number of visitors during the warm months on Sundays and holidays was about 25,000, with the exception of the month of July, when this number was almost doubled. Owing to the vigilance of the employees, who kept the visitors to the paths and trails, there was little damage done to the lawns and plantations this season.
Two beds 8 feet wide and 193 feet long were subsoiled to a depth of 3 feet ready for planting in front of conservatory range no. I. A boundary fence about 2,000 feet long has been erected along the Bronx Boulevard and the pergola on the east side of the Herbaceous Grounds has been completed. A new fire hydrant was set up on the driveway on the west side of the museum building. The water supply for the fountain in front of the museum building has been repaired. Two large cold frames 7 feet wide and 30 feet long have been built for the experimental enclosure at the Propagating Houses. The experimental garden has been increased about one half an acre.
( 297 )
Considerable work has been accomplished towards the uprooting of poison ivy throughout the grounds, which work will be continued until the ivy is exterminated.
Thirty-five tons of hay were mowed and stacked for the use of our horses this year. By running the gasoline engine for ten days, five months’ supply of wood fuel for the Propa- gating Houses was cut.
Respectfully submitted, Artuur J. Corpett, Superintendent of Buildings and Grounds,

REPORT OF THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SCIENTIFIC DIRECTORS
To THE Boarp or Manacers or THE New York Boran-
ICAL GARDEN.
Gentlemen: | have the honor to submit the following report from the Scientific Directors for the year 1913.
The loss sustained by the death of our former President, Judge Brown, has been felt by the Scientific Directors with special force. Being an active worker in botanical science, as well as the executive head of the Garden, Judge Brown’s relations with us were somewhat closer than is usually the case with a presiding officer and we miss keenly his participa- tion in our deliberations.
Several changes in the Garden staff have occurred during the year. Through the appointment of Dr. Hollick as Curator-in-Chief of the Staten Island Association of Arts and Sciences, we have lost his services as Curator of our collections in paleobotany. For the present, at least, his work will be performed by the museum aid in that division. Our regret at this loss is somewhat tempered by the knowl- edge that Dr. Hollick will continue to serve us in an advisory capacity as Honorary Curator. The following resolutions with reference to his retirement were adopted by the Scientific Directors at their meeting of December 13.
Resolved: that the Scientific Directors of the New York Botan- ical Garden regret the withdrawal of Dr. Arthur Hollick from the curatorial staff. His services as a Curator have extended over 13 years, during which period he has discharged the duties of his position with enthusiasm and ability; his investigations and published contributions to science have been noteworthy, and highly creditable to himself and to the Garden.
Resolved: 'That the Scientific Directors wish Dr. Hollick all success in his new position of usefulness, in the development of the museum of the Staten Island Association of Arts and Sciences and in the expansion of the scientific and educational work of that institution.
( 303 )
Resolved: That subject to the approval of the Trustees of the Staten Island Association of Arts and Sciences, the Board of Managers of the New York Botanical Garden be requested to designate Dr. Hollick Honorary Curator of the Collection of Fossil Plants.
Resolved: That the Director-in-Chief be and he is hereby authorized to loan the Staten Island Association of Arts and Sciences, from time to time, such specimens of fossil plants of the Garden collection as Dr. Hollick may wish to study in con- tinuation of his investigations.
In my last annual report, mention was made of the establishment of the new grade of Associate Curator, the object being to provide for the promotion of such assistant curators as may be entitled to a higher rank, but for whom curatorships are not available. At our last meeting, it was resolved to recommend to your Board that Mr. Percy Wilson be thus promoted.
The scientific work of the Garden during the past year has been markedly active and efficient. This is especially true of authorship and publication, in which are included the works of the members of the staff published otherwise than by the Garden itself. The publications of the Garden include complete volumes of the BuLLETIN, JouRNAL and Mycotoctia, the latter containing descriptions of nearly a hundred new species by Dr. Murrill, and three parts of the Nortu AMERICAN Fiora. Outside publications by mem- bers of our staff are the second edition of Britton and Brown’s “Tilustrated Flora,’ the second edition of Dr. Small’s “Flora of the Southeastern United States,”’ and four descrip- tive works on Florida plants by Dr. Small. An elaborate work on the Rocky Mountain flora has been completed by Dr. Rydberg in connection with his work in the classification of our collections, but no way of publishing it has yet been found.
Work on the preparation of the manuscript of our Guide, not only to the buildings and grounds, but to the plants, has progressed satisfactorily. "The same is true of the work
( 304 )
on our local flora by Mr. Norman Taylor, a work likely to prove of exceptional interest and value among local floras. Besides these complete works, many papers have been contributed in the publications of the Torrey Botanical Club and elsewhere.
The most important exploration of the year was one of some three months’ duration, made in the West Indies by our Director-in-Chief, compel by Mrs. Britton and Mr. J. A. Shafer. Dr. Britton, accompanied by Mr. Stewardson Brown, also spent some time in Bermuda. These two expeditions were conducted with a view to closing up certain gaps which existed in our knowledge of the flora of the regions visited. For a similar purpose, Dr. Small made two visits to Florida.
In this connection, reference should be made to a visit of Dr. Murrill to European herbaria for studies necessary in the preparation of his portion of the Norra AMERICAN
LORA.
Laboratory and culture work by and under the direction of Dr. Stout has been in the general direction of heredity and variation in plants, and has been very actively pursued. Special studies have been made in bud-variation, as illus- trated in Coleus, biotypes in Hibiscus, the influence of repeated crossings in Verbascum, and variations in inherit- ance in chicory.
Twenty-two students have pursued regular lines of work in the Laboratory. Although this work covers a variety of subjects, it has a strong general bearing on Dr. Stout’s individual studies. The following are the more important of these subjects: Heredity in Phaseolus, Aquilegia and Phlox, fertilization in a lupine, the relation of the shapes of cells to that of the organ containing them, the mosaic disease of tobacco, the genera Bryum, Marasmius, Digitalis, and Vernonia, plant pathology and paleobotany. Mr. Gleason’s paper on Vernonia is worthy of special mention. Not only does it contribute knowledge of many new species but it also places the general nature of this large and difficult genus before us in a better light.
(305 )
Besides this work of our regular students, many visiting botanists have pursued their researches in our herbarium andlibrary. Especially noteworthy is a visit by Dr. William Trelease, for the study of the genus Phoradendron.
In addition to this very general use of the herbarium by visitors, a great amount of service has been rendered in the naming of specimens sent in to us for that purpose. In the division of Fungi, the amount of such work has nearly doubled over that of the preceding year.
Some extensive and valuable exchanges of specimens have been arranged during this year.
Continued progress has been made in the control of the Hickory and Hemlock beetles, as well as of the Cactus fly.
Our relations with the work of other institutions have been cultivated and extended. In association with the New York Horticultural Society, the usual meetings and plant exhibitions have been held. ‘The newly organized New York State Forestry Association has held a convention at the Garden and has been entertained by us. Delegates from or representatives of the Garden have attended the meetings of the New York Library Club, the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the National Park Superin- tendents’ Convention, and the inauguration of Dr. Finley as State Commissioner of Education and President of the University of the State of New York. Close association has obtained with the Torrey Botanical Club and the Brooklyn Botanic Garden. Our relations with the herba- rium of the National Museum have been peculiarly close, and mutually helpful, especially in connection with the study of Cactaceae, which work continues to be vigorously pursued by Dr. Britton and Dr. Rose.
Our public lecture courses have included thirty-five lectures, in addition to the spring course to the pupils of the public schools. Our fall course represented a new de- parture in our lecture division, in that it took up the various phases of a single subject, that of vegetable foods, presented in the form of a symposium. The result of this experiment
( 306 )
was a distinct success. Interest in the lectures and atten- dance upon them increased from the beginning. The publication of abstracts of these lectures in our JOURNAL, which has been decided upon, will still farther increase this interest and greatly extend the educational value of the work.
An important feature of the internal work of the Garden staff, which I think has never yet been brought to your attention, is the regular series of monthly conferences held at 4 P.NI. on Wednesday afternoons in the Laboratory of the Museum Building. At these conferences, the several mem- bers of the staff and their students discuss the subjects to which they are respectively devoting their attention, so that the interest of all is maintained in the general progress and in the mutual relations of the different departments. The interest in and the value of these conferences have steadily increased and it has become a strong influence in promoting the integrity of our work. Doubtless many of the Managers, as well as the Scientific Directors, would be interested in attending these conferences.
Two minor matters, here worthy of mention, are the opportunity which has been afforded by the installation of our new museum cases for improving the display features of our economic collection, and the public value of the rose collection planted last spring near the eastern end of our southern glass house. This collection represents all the more important varieties of roses suitable for outdoor culture. They are all carefully and plainly labeled with their names, and thus afford a perfect opportunity for those intending to procure rose plants to make an intelligent selection of varieties.
Not the least important part of our work during one year is that of planning for that of the future, and this duty has received our careful and continuous attention. In the work of the coming year, exploration is to play an unusually important part. We have accepted an invitation to co- operate with the New York Academy of Sciences and the American \luseum of Natural History in a scientific survey
(307 )
of Porto Rico. Our own portion of the preliminary work of such a survey has been largely performed already by the several expeditions which we have sent to that island. Several localities upon and near it, however, still remain to be visited, and we have arranged for such visits during 1914 by the Director-in-Chief and Dr. J. A. Shafer. For a similar purpose, the Director-in-Chief will also make a short visit to Bermuda. The most important exploration of the year will be one to the West Andean region by Dr. Shafer, for the purpose of collecting living Cactaceae, not only to complete our collections, but also to supply material for study and illustration in the preparation of the proposed monograph of that family. The expense of this work will be shared by the Carnegie Institution. There are probably two hundred or more species of cactuses growing in the Andes which are not represented in our collection, and we are hoping much from the results of this expedition.
Arrangements have been made for cooperating with the newly formed School of Agriculture of Columbia University. A portion of land which is not needed in our own cultural operations is to be used by that school for experiment and instruction.
The director of our laboratories, Dr. Stout, has been assigned to duty in Europe for a period of six weeks, to pursue special studies in relation to the subjects already mentioned as having occupied him during the past year.
The most important subject that is now engaging our attention is that of providing for that extension of our work which is inevitable in the early future. We have already outgrown the capacity of our present Museum Building. At one time during 1912, we were strongly inclined to en- croach upon the museum floors for needed laboratory space, and we avoided this contingency only by a temporary expedient that has been found decidedly inconvenient in our scientific work. Our necessities in this direction have since grown and we feel that we must very shortly resort to the undesirable method which I have mentioned. Such an
( 308 )
arrangement should under no circumstances be allowed to become permanent, or to continue long in operation. To avoid this, there is but one course open to us, namely, that of the erection of an additional portion of the Museum Building, as planned, and it will be necessary during the coming year to direct your attention definitely to this need. The necessity for larger grounds to accommodate our broadening work is also certain to engage our attention in the not distant future more definitely than it has already done. Respectfully submitted, H Russy, Chairman.

Director-1n-CuH1EF’s ACCOUNT FOR THE YEAR 1913
Room 3111, Granp CENTRAL TERMINAL, New York, February 10, 1914. Mr. Epwarp D. Abas, Chairman, Finance Committee, New York Botanical Garden, 71 Broadway, New York, N. Y. Dear Sir:
This is to certify that I have examined and audited the financial books and accounts of the Director-in-Chief of the New York Botanical Garden for the year nineteen hundred and thirteen (1913), and that I find the same to be correct, and the cash balance to be as stated in the current cash book.
In accordance with recent practice, I have not included in this auditing the examination of the vouchers for City mainte- nance or construction work paid for by the City as such vouchers have been found proper and in order by the City Authorities, and it was decided in 1904 by the Chairman of the Finance Committee that a further examination of them was unnecessary. By like authority I have omitted also a detailed examination of the annual membership dues account. These dues are received by the Director-in-Chief and forwarded by him to the Treasurer, the former keeping a detailed record of the same.
Respectfully submitted, A. W. STonE, Special .duditor.

Philippine Mosses By Rosert 8. WILtiams
The mosses of the following list were obtained by the author while on a collecting trip in the Philippine Islands for the New York Botanical Garden, extending from October, 1903 to August, 1905. The specimens were chiefly collected at the following places. On the island of Luzon, about the Lamao river and Mt. Mariveles at its head, Oct. 1903 to March, 1904; then northward about 140 miles in the vicinity of Baguio and Mt. Santo Tomas, ten miles distant, April to Dec. 1904, ending the work in Luzon with a few days at Los Bafios on Laguna de Bey in Jan. 1905. On leaving this island a trip was made to Mindanao where collections were obtained first in the southwest part, in the vicinity of San Ramon, the Sax river and adjacent mountains, some ten or twelve miles northwest of Zamboanga, Feb. and March, 1905, and finally along the west coast of the Gulf of Davao and on the slopes of Mt. Apo, chiefly in the vicinity of Todaya, a small native village, g00 to 1200 meters elevation. The elevation of the mountains above mentioned is about as follows. Mariveles, 1160 meters; Santo Tomas, 2438 meters; Apo, 3050 meters. Most of the elevations men- tioned are estimates, only approximately correct. This list contains 240 species in 118 genera. Of these, 27 species and 3 genera have been described as new.

Hyophila rosea sp. nov. Dioicous, the male plants very similar to the fertile:
about 4 rows of thick-walled cells, often branching, 1-1.5 cm. long, radiculose at the base, wit e leaves in clusters at intervals along the stem and at apex, ae bearing more or less stellate propagulae on short, songs filaments in the axils of the upper leaves; leaves en dry, twisted, arte plicate, when moist, rather ee spreading, up to 3.3 mm. long and 0.7 mm. wide, from a narrow base, mostly gradually widening upward to above the middle,
base, percurrent or slightly excurrent, papillose on the back to well below the dh cells of leaf rather obscure to near the eee roundish or pee crowded, more or less mamillose and minutely papillose on both sides, the median about 6 » in diameter, the basal mostly yellowish, smooth, elongate, oy rectangular except toward the margins; outer perichaetial leaves large, similar to those of the stem, the I or 2 inner leaves shorter, erect-spreading, not convolute below, with the elongate, smooth, basal cells extending a little farther up and the apex of leaf more nar- rowly acute, with the costa longer excurrent; capsule
neck and mostly few or no stomata, the exothecal cells up to 20 wide and 30-60 4 long with uniformly thickened walls; peristome none; annulus large; lid conical apiculate, up to three fourths mm. long; calyptra smooth, extending about one half way down the capsule; spores nearly smooth, I2—-14 pw in diameter.
Type locality, Lamao river, on rock, 105 meters elev., Nov. 1903 (819); Lamao river, 70 meters elev., Nov. 1903 (818)
This species is near H. apiculata Fleisch. It differs in its larger size, the leaves rosulate and in having each cell of the leaf-margin projecting equally and often bearing minute papillae, also the basal cells are yellow and do not extend as far up the leaf and the apex of the leaf is broader and less apiculate, especially in the perichaetial leaves.

Baguio, 1570 meters, on wet limestone, Oct. 1904 (1676).
These specimens are in good fruiting condition. As the original specimens were sterile the following description is given
Perichaetial leaves loosely erect, scarcely differentiated; seta yellowish, about 7 mm. long; capsule oblong, I-1. 35 mm. long without lid and about o. 5 mm. in diameter, with 2 rows of small cells at the rim, the median exothecal cells broad, rather irregular, 4-6 side 2d, 30-40 » wide by 40-50 u long, with thin walls; lid conical, scarcely beaked, about 60 mm. high; annulus, peristome and stomata lacking; spores smooth, 8-10 in diameter; calyptra cucullate, smooth, extending to a little below the lid.
The Baguio specimens scarcely show any central strand in the stems and the outer cells have their walls scarcely thickened, also the cells in the border of the upper part of the leaf are not distinct from those within, but about half way down the leaf a more or less evident border may be seen.
Merceyopsis Minuta Broth. & Dixon.
Kias Hill, Benguet Road, 1200 meters elev., Sep. 1904
(1683).
(343)
These specimens seem to belong to the var. subminuta of Broth. & Dixon, the exothecal cells being mostly 20- 30 4 wide. The leaf-points are rather broader and blunter than in any specimens observed from India.
The separation of the above genus from Merceya seems to leave the American species Merceya latifolia Kindb. in a rather anomalous position as it has, probably, as finely differentiated a border to the leaves as any of the known species and also a costa with a row of cells on the ventral side above the guide-cells.

In habit this species is much like M. involutifolium and M. intermedium. The first has fewer elongate basal cells and a more cylindric capsule; the second has smaller, more obscure cells in the upper leaf, the basal part of leaf rougher, the capsule more elongate and a low peristome.

Todaya, Mt. Apo, 850 meters elevation, on trees with Calyptothecium crispulum, April 1905 (3156).
This species appears to be most closely related to the plant called Thamnium parvulum Muitt., from the Neil- gherry Hills of India. It differs in being still smaller, with smaller leaves, the margins less serrulate and the cells of leaf larger than in the Indian species. It has much the habit of Himantocladium plumula but is very much smaller and the leaves not undulate, broader above, more rounded and entire and the cells larger.

Determined from the description. These plants have a conic, stoutly beaked lid about 1.5 mm. high and a cucullate calyptra descending about half way down the capsule, smooth except at the slightly roughened apex. The quite rough spores are 20 in diameter. The type is from Borneo and has previously not been collected elsewhere.
Pleuropus appressifolius sp. nov.
Evidently dioicous, the male flowers not found: fertile plants in compact, rather glossy mats; stems creeping, radiculose, with more or less erect, mostly simple, terete branches I~2 cm. long; branch- oe closely appressed- imbricate when dry, erect-spreading when moist, ovate- lanceolate, about 2 mm. long and o. ee mm. wide, acutely pointed, deeply plicate, serrulate all round; costa stout in the lower part, extending about two thirds way up the leaf, smooth, sometimes ending in a short thorn-point; leaf-cells elongate to near the base with rather thin, not pitted walls, the median slightly vermicular, 4-5 pu wide and 40-50 gb long, the basal cells pale, slightly or not elongate, 12-15 u
(374)
wide, with scarcely thickened walls and extending in a broad band across the leaf base, the widest cells toward the costa; inner perichaetial leaves ecostate, erect, 2.5 mm. long, gradually narrowed to a lanceolate, serrulate point; seta smooth, 2 cm. long; capsule erect, ovate-cylindric, about 2.5 mm. long without the lid, the exothecal cells with quite evenly and slightly thickened walls, 15-20 4 wide by 30-50 w long, the stomata abundant, in 4-5 rows at the base; lid with slightly oblique beak rather over one third the length of the rest of the capsule; annulus none; outer peristome of pale, lanceolate teeth about 250 » high, with prominent oo on the outer face and plates finely papillose to near the base, the basal plates close together and ai inner peristome a very papillose
irregularly incised margin scarcely forming segments; calyptra extending well down the capsule, bearing scat- tered, iar hairs on the basal half; spores minutely roughene , 16 w in diameter
Baguio, 1570 meters ee, on rock, Sep., Nov. 1904 (1880, 1881).
This plant looks much like and perhaps stands nearest to Homalothecitum tokiodense (Mitt.) Besch. P. appressi- foltus differs in having the points of the leaves broader and shorter, the cells of the leaf-base larger with thinner walls and the peristome-teeth broader in the upper part with the joints less prominent. I may add that I do not think Homalothecium is in any way distinct as a genus from Pleuropus. (Plate 174.)
PLEUROPUS LUZONENSIS Broth.

At once distinguished from the preceding by the spread- ing leaves, the longer leaf-point, the leaf-base of elongate, narrow cells toward the costa, also by the shorter pedicel and striate teeth of the peristome.

The Vegetation of Vieques Island By Percy WILson
The island of Vieques is situated about seven miles southeast of the eastern end of Porto Rico, from which it is separated by the Vieques Passage. From Punta Arenas on the west to the eastern end, Vieques is about nineteen or twenty miles in length; its greatest width is about five miles.
“The greater part of the island is made up of a soft brown eruptive rock with occasional outcroppings of a harder bluish rock, very similar to the formation of the Virgin Islands lying to the eastward. Some of the larger peninsulas projecting from the south side and all that portion of the eastern end of the island that is separated from the main body by bays and salinas, are composed of a | fossiliferous limestone.
1e surface is very hilly, often steep, but seldom pre- cipitous. Few of the hills attain an altitude of over five hundred feet, the highest being Cerro Ventana on the southwestern end, where a height of one thousand one hundred and twenty-five feet was recorded by the aneroid barometer. The summits of these hills are rocky and covered for the most part with trees and shrubs; the sides are usually of good soil and under cultivation, or used for pasturing.
“The cultivation of sugar-cane has recently been carried on very extensively, so that at the present time the western two thirds of the island is practically all in cane from the seacoast to the rocky tops of the low hills. The eastern portion of the island is given over to pasturage, but most of it is at present being neglected and is growing into brush and thickets. This part is also much drier and more rocky and is densely wooded with smail trees. ‘Throughout the island there is little growth underneath the trees in the rocky forests.”*

The flora of Vieques, with its fewer species, is essentially similar to that of Porto Rico, yet there are a few elements in it which are not represented on the larger island. Of the cryptogams a more complete collection would undoubtedly add many species to those here recorded.
In the following list, based chiefly upon Dr. Shafer’s collection, the habitat of each species is given as indicated on the labels of specimens collected on Vieques, which is sometimes at variance with the natural habitat of the plant. Comparison of the distribution of each species is made only with the adjacent islands of Porto Rico, Culebra, St. Thomas, and St. Croix, with an occasional reference to the smaller island of Culebrita.
CoLLECTORS
Lagpat, JEAN-BaptTisTE, a French friar, visited Vieques between 1694 and 1705. There is no evidence that he made a collection of herbarium specimens.
West, Hans, principal of the school at Christianssted, St. Croix, from 1788 to 1800, made extensive collections on the islands of St. Thomas and St. Croix, and about 1797 visited Porto Rico and Vieques.
vn, PETER, a surgeon on the Island of St. Thomas, collected on Vieques some time between 1818 and 1839.
BiauNER, BERNHARD FRIEDRICH, visited Vieques about 1853.
GrosourpDy, REn# pr, a French physician and chemist, collected on Vieques before 1864.
Eccers, Heinricu Franz ALEXANDER VON, made exten- sive collections in the West Indies between 1870 and i899. His specimens from Vieques were probably obtained about 1882.
More detailed accounts of the foregoing collectors will be found in volumes 1 and 3 of Urban’s Symbolae Antil- lanae. Herbarium specimens of most of the earlier col- lections are to be found at the Botanical Museum at Copen- hagen, Denmark.
( 382 )
Cuase, Acnes, Assistant Systematic Agrostologist, U. S. Department of Agriculture, was on Vieques November 28-30, 1913. Acollection of grasses was made in the wes- tern half of the island.
SuaFer, Joun Avorn, explored Vieques from January 23 to March 2, 1914. A collection, including lichens, hepa- tics, fungi, mosses, ferns, and flowering plants, and embrac- ing over seven hundred field numbers, was made on this expedition. It is preserved in the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden.
