8. Advertisements may be carried on the third and fourth pages 
of the cover, and on inside pages additional to those containing 
reading matter. The advertisements shall be of a character 
acceptable to both the Ecological Society and the Botanic Garden. 
9. The second page of the cover shall be reserved for editorial 
and business announcements of the journal. 
10. No charge is to be made to the Ecological Society for the 
storage of undistributed copies of the journal at the Brooklyn 
Botanic Garden, but if it becomes necessary to pay rental or 
insurance for storage accommodations outside the Botanic Garden 
Buildings such rental shall become a charge against the account 
of the journal. 
11. All publications received in exchange for the journal shall 
be deposited in the library of the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and 
shall become the permanent property of the Garden, and shall 
become subject to the regulations governing the administration 
of the library. 
12. If, and whenever, at any time, the gross income of the 
journal, from all sources (including subscriptions, advertisements, 
the sale of back numbers and sets, and any subsidies or endow- 
ments), shall exceed the necessary expenses of publication, post- 
age, stationery, office assistance, etc., the surplus, either as 
principal or as interest on the same, shall be applied to improving 
the journal, either by increasing the number of pages, or the 
number or quality of the illustrations, or the quality of the paper, 
one or all, or in any other way, according as the editors and 
management may jointly agree; and the payment of an hono- 
rarium to contributors should be kept in mind as an end to be 
attained at the earliest possible date consistent with maintaining 
the magazine at a reasonable degree of excellence. 
13. That the editorial board, which shall control the general 
editorial policy, shall (with the exception of one member who 
may be appointed by the Brooklyn Botanic Garden, at its option, 
in addition to the business manager) be elected or appointed by 
the Ecological Society of America under such terms and condi- 
tions, and at such periods as said Society may formally determine. 
14. The frequency of publication, and the number of pages per 
issue, shall be as mutually agreed upon from time to time by the 
editorial board and the business manager.
