504 Biochemical News, Notes and Comment [April-July 



crease in the necessary labor of its production. After mature con- 

 sideration it appeared that the objects for which the Journal was 

 estabHshed would be best served if arrangements could be made for 

 transferring part of the business of pubHcation to an efficient Organ- 

 ization with existing facihties for the conduct of such work. The 

 directors take pleasure in announcing that an arrangement has been 

 consummated by which the Rocke feller Inst, for Med. Research, an 

 Organization with which the founder of the Journal was closely 

 affiliated, will undertake for them the work of Publishing the Jour- 

 nal. At the same time the corporate ownership and editorial man- 

 agement of the Journal remain unchanged. It is confidently be- 

 lieved that the future development and stability of the Journal will 

 be materially advanced by this arrangement. With the present issue 

 Dr. Donald D, Van Slyke joins the board of editors, and the direct- 

 ors are confident that this appointment will add to the strength of 

 the Journal. No change is contemplated in the editorial policy of 

 the Journal, which will be conducted as heretofore solely with the 

 object of providing a medium for the prompt publication of re- 

 searches in every brauch of biochemistry. 



(Besides the addition of Dr. Van Slyke to the board of editors, 

 referred to above, the name of Dr. W. A. Jacobs, Rockefeiler Inst, 

 appears on the list of collaborators. Beginning with the February 

 issue, the name of Dr. Henry L. Wheeler no longer appears among 

 those of the collaborators.) 



Int. Zeit. f. physik.-chem. Biol. Prof. J. Traube (Charlotten- 

 burg-Berlin) is the editor, and Drs. H. J. Hamburger (Groningen), 

 V. Henri (Paris) and Jacques Loeb (N. Y.) the associate editors, 

 of a new Journal entitled Internationale Zeitschrift für physikalisch- 

 chemische Biologie. Price per vol., 15 Marks (about three vol. a 

 year). Publisher: Wilhelm Engelmann, Leipzig and Berlin. 



Engler's Botan. Jahrbuch. Prof. Adolph Engler, direc. of the 

 Royal Botanic Garden and Museum, at Dahlem near Berlin, cele- 

 brated his 7oth birthday on March 25th. He was presented with his 

 life-size marble bust and a copy of the Fest-Band of Engler's Botan. 

 Jahrbücher, containing forty illustrated contributions, largely from 

 his pupils.
