HERBARIUM.
The incorporation of a large collection of specimens from the Province of Yunnan, presented some years ago by Dr. HENRY, was commenced. The chief recent additions have been collections presented by the Director of Kew from Yunnan, Staff Surgeon C. G. MATHEW, R.N., of H. M. S. "Eclipse" from Weihai- wei, Korea and Japan, and by Dr. BARCHET of Shanghai, from Ningpo; some collections made in the Autumn by the Superintendent at Shanghai, Tsingtau, Weihaiwei, Chefoo and Peking.
A considerable amount of time was expended in numbering the whole Her- barium so that any sheet can now be found by the Chinese Assistants on the quotation of the number from the indices of the standard Floras of Hongkong and China. The specimens can now moreover be replaced with little fear of mistake. A specimen put away in its wrong place is practically lost in a Herbarium of any size so that the importance of this arrangement when working with partially trained Chinese assistants is obvious.
