Lieutenant-Colonel Arthur Chapman, V.D., very kindly consented to take charge of the Department during that time, and rendered valuable service. Thanks to his efforts and those of the Head Gardener, the Head Forester, Head Clerk, 1st Herbarium Assistant, and the New Territories Foreman, the work of the Department was kept going smoothly during the above period.
The Assistant Superintendent was absent on Military Service throughout the year.
