More Glass Flowers Received.

Three cases containing Blascheka glass flowers, which were received at the Botanical Museum during the fall, have been unpacked. The specimens will not be placed on public exhibition at present, however, as the rearrangement of the whole collection would be necessitated, and this will probably not be undertaken during the absence of Professor Goodale in Europe. This consignment, which is the first to be received since June 1899, comprises twenty specimens, six of which were more or less damaged, owing to an unusually rough voyage. They are believed to mark the highest perfection of workmanship yet attained in the series. Among the better known flowers represented are two varieties of Kalmialaurel, the common Indian Pipe; a gold enrod, and the pond duckweed. The last two-mentioned are especially notable for the extraordinary nicety of execution.

The models of native plants which formed part of the University exhibit at the Paris exposition have not yet been returned.
