Herbarium and Library.
25. The collections of dried plants and books were transferred to their quarters in the new building in the early part of the year. The herbarium is commodious, and well adapted for the preservation of plants, which can now be examined and studied with comfort and convenience by any one wishing to do so.
26. In consequence of pressure of other work, and of the cramped place where the plants were formerly kept work in the herbarium was almost suspended in 1891, but during the year under review a considerable number of plants were prepared and incorporated, and arrears have been mostly worked
up.
27. My thanks are due to Dr. A. HENRY for a valuable collection of 742 species of plants from his Central China collections, and to the Royal Gardens, Kew, for 127 species of miscellaneous plants. 28.
