Research Published 
The total number of research papers (of members of the staff 
and others) published during 1926 was 114, occupying 1,820 pages, 
as against 1,824 pages of research published in 1925 and 1,683 in 
1924. 
Subsidies Received 
Contributions of research papers are received by the editors of 
our three research journals faster than we are able to publish 
them. Enough manuscript is usually on hand to fill an entire vol- 
ume, so that a paper cannot get published in less than ten or twelve 
months after it has been accepted. 
This situation was presented to the National Research Council 
and the Council voted a subsidy of $500 (as also in 1925) to 
American Journal of Botany and a like subsidy to Ecology (in 
1926 only) for the purpose of enabling the journals to publish 
more pases and thus, in a measure, relieve the congestion. 
“author-payment”’ plan, referred to above under Amer- 
ican Journal of Botany, has served to relieve the congestion in the 
editorial office of that journal.
