Chief is Major Barrington Moore, with an editorial board of 

 fourteen. 



Genetics. — Bi-monthly. This journal is not the official organ of 

 any society, but is published by the Botanic Garden in cooperation 

 with the Editorial Board of ten editors, of which Prof. George II. 

 Shull, of Princeton University, is editor-in-chief. Although Ge- 

 netics is in its seventh volume, it was not published by the Brooklyn 

 Botanic Garden until the beginning of that volume (January, 

 1922). On account of delays incidental to the change of publisher, 

 only four of the six issues of volume 7 appeared during 1922, 

 containing 9 articles with a total of 426 pages, 171 text figures, and 

 one plate. 



Record. — With its issue for October, 1922, our administrative 

 quarterly, the Brooklyn Botanic Garden Record, completed its 

 eleventh volume, comprising 130 pages with 11 half-tone illustra- 

 tions. As usual, the January number contained the Botanic Gar- 

 den Prospectus of courses, lectures, and other educational advan- 

 tages offered during the year. The April number comprised the 

 Eleventh Annual Report of the Garden. 



Contributions. — Two numbers, Nos. 27 and 28, have appeared. 

 Other numbers were in press or in preparation at the close of the 

 year. 



Seed List. — The annual List of Seeds, published in December, 

 listed seeds of about 940 species and varieties offered in exchange 

 with other botanic gardens. With this issue there was included a 

 communication addressed to other botanic gardens, raising the 

 question as to the desirability of uniformity in the arrangement of 

 plant families in all seed lists. There are at present in use at least 

 four different arrangements. 



Miscellaneous. — The Garden issued as a reprint from the Fern 

 Journal for September, 1922, an article on " Game laws for ferns 

 and wild flowers," by Dr. R. C. Benedict, resident investigator. 

 Numerous miscellaneous announcements of courses and lectures 

 were also printed and distributed.
