Valuable Botanical Specimens.

Dr. Nathaniel Lord Britton, director
in general of the New York Botanical
garden since 1896, has returned from
a trip to Porto Rico, which was
fraught with valuable results. The
work was a continuation of the scien-
tific survey of the island undertaken
by the New York Academy of Sci
ences, in cooperation with the insular
government, the American Museum of
Natural History and other institu-
lions. Parts of the island which sci
entists had not previously explored
were visited. where more than eight
thousand specimens, represented by
1926 field numbers. were collected.
Many duplicates of rare or otherwise
interesting species were obtained for
use in exchanges with other gardens
and museums.

that line.
At a dinner party somebody
preached the subject Of small vices.

These Miathoachiana are now be-

The Gumba are said TO have made
pottery and to have taught the Kikuyh
