Nov., 1917] Report Ohio Academy of Science 19 



Report of the Publication Committee 



The report of the Publication Committee was received as 

 follows and ordered filed. 



The committee has published the Report of the Twenty-fifth 

 Annual Meetinji:, consisting of 202 pages and also the Report of the 

 Twenty-sixth Annual Meeting, consisting of 26 pages. The first 

 report was pubHshed at a cost of $222.75, and the twenty-sixth, which 

 was a i^artial reprint froin the Ohio Journal of Science, at a cost of 

 $42.00. 



The method of publication of the Proceedings of the Annual Meetings 

 was not fully detennined at the last meeting. The Executive Com- 

 mittee having been given power to act on its own initiative. After 

 correspondence with mcml^ers of the Executive Committee it was 

 thought best to publish the Annual Report as heretofore, the first 

 twelve pages consisting of list of officers and members, being set up 

 separately, and the Secretary's Report reprinted from the Journal of 

 Science. It was not thought necessary to reprint the President's 

 address, since this -will now be published regularly in the" Ohio Journal 

 of Science. 



The committee recommends that the Proceedings of the Acadeni}- 

 be handled in the regular way as heretofore, and that the Annual Report 

 mainly a reprint from the Ohio Journal of Science, consisting of lists 

 of officers and members, and the Secretary's Report be continued. The 

 committee strongly urges that the publication of special papers be 

 continued also and that if possible at least one be published each year. 



Respectfully submitted, 



John H. Schaffner, Chairman, 

 L. B. Walton.
