-5- taxonomists when attaching a problem in systematics. Since the plants are quite large, it is difficult to make a very complete herbarium specimen by ordinary techniques. Usually, a collector makes no specimen unless it bear flower or fruit. These plants when in flower or fruit have different leaf (and other such characters) (Slide 5) from those of the vegetative conditions. Since flowering and fruiting are of sporadic occurrence in this group, it is necessary to rely mainly on vegetative characteristics. Due to this fact, plus others, I have little valid material with which to start this work. In order to qui …

One of the features of this Botanical Garden is a large greenhouse entirely devoted to economic plants and it was quite educational even to a Californian used to seeing olives, citrus fruits, and semi-tropical plants that made dwarfs of the plants exhibited here. The orchid houses are separated from the larger exhibition houses and some nice things were in flower: Calanthe vestichi, Coelogyne massengiana, Oncidium papilio, and one of the finest white flowered orchids I have seen, Cattleya intermedia elba.

Exchange Program Through the medium of exchange of duplicate specimens the Museum is able to provide more cosmopolitan comparison material for study and research than otherwise would be possible. During the past five years the Geology Section of the Museum has engaged in an intensive exchange program with the following institutions abroad: The University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa The University of Lyon, France The University of Ferrara, Italy The Sabadell Museum near Barcelona, Spain.

The botanical volume ought to interest certain members of such Societies as the Botanical Society of America, the American Society of Plant Taxonomists, and my paper would interest some members of the Phycological Society of America, so it would be in order for you to circulate the membership of those Societies.

These collections were made in 1945, and together they cover at least 95% of the known vascular flora and probably 90% of all vascular species on the island. I am tentatively reserving the fourth set for Kew should it be desired and should it be possible to arrange a suitable exchange. This set will number about 275 sheets, of which some 225 sheets will contain about 80% of the approximat …
