A New Monthly Botanical Journal (Marie C. Stopes, D.Sc.) 



American botanists have decided to unite in the production of a journal to 

 supplant the Botanisches Centralblatt, which has become difficult or impossible to 

 obtain owing to the confusion of the war, and which, moreover, no longer meets 

 with the unqualified support of the Allied countries. 



The new journal sets out to be very comprehensive and international in 

 character. The central editorial board includes the leading botanists of the 

 United States, with representatives of the following branches : 



Agronomy, Soil Technology, and Plant Production.

Foreign editors for each subject are also being arranged to cover the production 

 of work in each of the branches. 



The journal will be entitled Botanical Abstracts, and is designed to come out 

 monthly, and to give as rapid publicity as possible to all papers which appear. 



The journal begins with the year 1918, and the English representative is to be 

 The Cambridge University Press. 



Palseobotanical Papers 



We are informed that all Palasobotanical papers published in the British 

 Empire should be sent to Dr. Marie Stopes, University College, London, W.C., 

 as soon as possible, to be entered and quoted in Botanical Abstracts, as she is the 

 British editor for Palseobotany. Authors should send in references from page 

 proof of forthcoming papers, so that publication of the abstracts can be really 

 prompt.
