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,

credited to the ‘“‘Plant Fund,” have been received as

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:

Library

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:

Laboratories

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.

(17)

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.

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 JourNat.

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.

AMARANTACEAET

Gomphrena Conwayi sp. nov.

olate or ee 5-15 mm. long, half or two-thirds as broad,

unded at the

capitate at the ends of the branchlets. Bracts at the base of the
heads closely appressed, a oe slightly aliens or not

quite equalling the compressed flowers. Perianth-segments ob-
tuse, ey pea baer somewhat exceeding the ae Tigh
emarginate. Stamen-tube mm. long, lightly lac erate and

scarcely ad aes re sessile sree. Stigmas 2, subu-
late, acute, not equalling the stamen-tube,

PAPILIONACEAE
Eriosema Conwayi sp. nov.

Further study has convinced me that Nos. 9 and 117, described

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.

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.

parts, whatever they may be morphologically, are closely com-
pacted so that their individual characters are difficult to define
with accuracy. In this respect it resembles specimens from

These are the first specimens which I have seen from Long

identical with the variety, which may be distinguished by its

much thinner midrib and more elongated summit, in which latter
feature it more nearly resembles F. Mohliana Heer.t Our Figure

z should perhaps be questioned, inasmuch as the upper part of

This specimen agrees more or less satisfactorily, except in its

larger size, with figures § and 9, on plate 41 of the Flora of the

Amboy Clays (oc. cit.), and it is evidently identical with other

specimens from Long Island,{ which have been referred to the

species. It is unfortunate that the fragmentary nature of all of
our specimens renders accurate comparison impossi

also the specific identity of certain specimens which were referred
to the species, and says: “This is especially true of the Long Island

to the writer some of the many species of Magnolia identified by
Dr. Hollick in the insular deposits.” The only leaf of this genus,
however, with which it appears to be possible to confound it, is
M. 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-

It is interesting to find another of the characteristic Amboy
Clay species represented in the Cretaceous flora of Long Island.

PROTEACEAE
Embothriopsis presagita gen. et sp. nov.
(PLaTE 165, Fic. 1)

Leaf ae cena entire, 1.1 dm. long by .45 dm. wide, rather
abruptly atten at the summit, ne at the base, thence

ee secondary nerves . se in opposite

or sub-opposite pairs, basal pair weak, nding upward sub-
parallel with the margin to oe half the length of the leaf, second
pair stronger, somewhat simulating lateral primaries, both pairs
leaving the midrib at acute angles of eval iia uppe Lee at more
obtuse angles, ns curving around an inning out close to the
margin, where they are apparently connected by and ened into
the fine bana nervation.

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.

It is unfortunate that neither this nor either of the two specimens

( 161 )

previously collected on Long Island (Hollick, loc. cit.) is sufficiently

perfect for definite identification. More or less satisfactory com-

parison, however, may be made with Newberry’s figure 1, plate 54

This specimen agrees quite satisfactorily with the type of the

species (Hollick, doc. cit.), in the shape of the base and general
characters of the outline; but the absence of any trace of secondary
nervation renders the identification doubtful. The type specimen,
collected at Sea Cliff, is the only one of the species heretcfore seen
by me from Long Island.

1895.

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.

( 162 )

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.

The three specimens here figured are, unfortunately, but little
more complete than are those previously found on Long Island;t
but they all, apparently, represent the relatively short, broad form
of this variable species.

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.

One other specimen (Hollick, loc. cit., f. 2) has been found on

Laurophyllum lanceolatum Newb., Monog. U. 8. Geol. Surv.

26 (Fl. Amboy Clays): 87, pl. r7, f. 4, 12. 1895.

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.

Locality: Glen Cove, N. Y. Hollick, Berry and Bibbins, June

Laurophyllum ocoteaeoides sp. nov.

Leaf broadly guess and a falcate, slightly inequi-

in maximum widt Payee wedge-shaped at the base, apparently
narrowed to a blunt apex at the summit; midrib strong; secondary
nerves fine, mostly leaving the midrib at obtuse or right angles,

it, together forming a fine reticulated network throughout

This beautiful and well-defined species is quite closely similar
to a number of living species in the Lauraceous genera Oreodaphne,
Persea, Nectandra and Ocotea and this relationship is indicated in
the name adopted.

LEGUMINOSAE (CAESALPINIACEAE)
Cassia insularis sp. nov.
(PLaTE 167, Fic. 3)

Leaf 2.25 cm. long by .75 cm. wide at the middle, entire, ovate-
lanceolate, with acute tip and rounded base, symme ae ical or
slightly ei aaa secondary nervation sparse, apparently in
at leaving the midrib at acute eee of divergence, eae

ard and cemiaaane close to the ma

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).

Pinoeradsopen simplex constricta Ward, Sixteenth Ann. Rept. U.S.
Geol. Surv. Pt. 1, 1894-95: 540, pi. 107, f. &. 1896.

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

* Heer, O., Fl. Foss. Arct. 6%: 109, pl. az, f. rd. 1882

{ Heer, O., Fl. Foss. Arct. 3 (Kreide-Fl.): 119, pi. 34, f. 2. 1874.

( 165 )

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.

elliptical, ree at base and summit; secondary nerves fine,
i tat irae leaving the midrib at various angles, the
low ais ae upper more acute, terminating in a marginal

nerve.

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.

appears to be: referable to this species. The one previously

considerably in size as well as in dentition, and these specimens
are closely similar to the smaller and shorter forms figured by
Velenovsky.

Credneria macrophylla Heer, Neue Denkschr. Schw. Gesellsch.

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.

Our specimen represents an addition to the Cretaceous flora of
the United States as well as to that of Long Island.

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.

Library

The library now contains 24,024 bound volumes,—an
increase of 446 bound volumes during the year. The
additional steel shelving obtained in 1911 is sufficient for
the growth of this collection for several years. 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

(187 )

§ figures. Twenty-nine species of fungi were illustrated in
their natural colors in this volume.

grades, of the Borough of the Bronx, under the auspices of
the Board of Education, as follows:

Grade 4B

Lecture I, “Cultivation of Plants,” by Mr. George V.
Nash, was given to groups of pupils in the morning and
afternoon of October 28.

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,

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

Respectfully suibimicied.
H. USBY,
Honorary Curator of the Economic Collections.

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.

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.

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.

New York, February 6, 1913.
Mr. Epwarp D. Apam
Chairman, Finance Cees New York Botanical Garden,
71 Broadway, New York,
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 twelve
(1912), 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 maintenance 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 Direc-
tor-in-Chief and forwarded by a to the Treasurer, the former
keeping a detailed record of the s

ener submitted,

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.

* See Garden Journal for October, 1913.

(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.

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.

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;

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.

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:

Sizes of Boxes Number

4 X234x 5% inches 2,000
4 X284x11)4 inches 1,000
544X4 2% inches 1,000
8 514X244 inches 500
Total........ 4,500

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.

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.

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.

(293 )

The following publications should be added to the list of
periodicals received regularly by the Garden which appeared
in the BuLietin (7: 325-347) and was supplemented in
later reports (BULLETIN 8: 45 and 8: 213).

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.

Room 3111, Granp CEenTRAL TERMINAL,
ew York, February 10, 1914.
Mr. Epwarp D. Apams,
Chairman, Finance Committee, New York Botanical Garden,
71 Broadway, New York, N. Y.
Dear Sir:

This is to certify that I have, by direction of the Board of
Managers, examined the books and accounts of the Treasurer of
the New York Botanical Garden, for the year nineteen hundred
and thirteen (1913), 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.

have also examined the various investment securities and
find the same to be as reported in the said balance sheet.
Respectfully submitted,
A. W. Strong,
Special Auditor.

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.

Rhabdoweisiella gen. nov.

Plants very small, with a few radicles at the base of the
stem; stem oval in cross-section, with central strand; leaves
pellucid, curved but scarcely crispate, the margins above
crenulate; leaf-cells with prominent, solitary, mamillose
papillae on both sides in the upper one half of the leaf, the
cells below smooth, eee cectanpuless costa vanish-
ing well below the apex, in cross-section showing two large

near the apex, conspicuously papillose throughout; spores
large, rough.

(334)

The plants on which this genus is based look much like
a small Rhabdoweisia but in structure they appear to be
nearer Oreoweisia, from which they differ especially in the
ribbed capsule, the broad, smooth peristome-teeth and the
papillose calyptra.

n dry contorted, scarcely crispate, when moist erect-
pene spatulate- “oblong, obtuse, somewhat keeled, the
margins flat, crenulate about half way down; costa stout,
smooth, vanishing well below the apex of the leaf, in cross-
section ous two large cells on the ventral side and a
band of about two rows of stereid cells on the dorsal side;
cells of a pellucid throughout, in the upper half of leat
not elongate, 12-16 p in diameter, with solitary, mamillose

few, near the base of the capsule; ‘annulus distinct, of a
single row of large cells; peristome teeth 16, lanceolate,
united in pairs nearly to the apex, smooth between the
prominent and rather close articulations; lid convex-acute,
in height about equalling its basal diameter; calyptra
cucullate, extending about one half way down the capsule,
divided to near the apex, the upper ends of the cells pro-
jecting into conspicuous a a over the entire outer
surface; spores rough, 20-24 » in diameter

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

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

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.

Merceya Bacani Broth.

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.

primary stems creeping, the secondary erect, IO-I5 mm.
high, without paraphyllia, quite regularly pinnately
branched with the lowest branches sometimes the longest
and again pinnately divided; secondary stem leaves in 8

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.

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

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;

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.)

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.
