Besides the regular students mentioned above, the fol- 

 lowing officers worked in the Mycological Laboratory

 1913. 

 Mr. G. H. Alington, I.F.S., Assistant to the Forest

 Mr. B. L. Gupta, B.Sc, Professor of Biology in the

 " Sericulture." Besides the regular students, three visi-

III. — Publications. 



The Agricultural Journal, Scientific Memoirs and 

 Bulletins continued to be issued during the year. With a 

 view to keep down the free distribution list and also to 

 encourage Agricultural Associations, Co-operative Socie- 

 ties, students of Agricultural Colleges and Assistants 

 in the Agricultural Departments, specially reduced rates 

 of subscription for the Journal and Memoirs and Bulletins 

 were sanctioned during the year. This has led to a sub- 

 stantial increase in the number of subscribers. With a 

 view to economy steps were taken to supply persons and 

 institutions on the free distribution list with reprints of 

 articles on the special branches of agriculture and its 

 allied sciences in which they are interested in lieu of the 

 Journal. Arrangements were also made during the year 

 for making the Department's publications available for 

 sale at principal centres in various parts of the country. 



The Department published during the year 16 Memoirs 

 and 7 Bulletins. In the Veterinary Series of Memoirs
