APPENDIX 4 
REPORT ON BROOKLYN BOTANIC GARDEN 
PUBLICATIONS, 1928 
American Journal of Botany 
Published monthly in cooperation with the Botanical Society of 
America. Volume XV (1928) comprised ten issues as usual 
(omitting August and September) with 54 papers, 650 pages, 47 
plates, and 117 text figures included. There was a Supplement 
comprising ‘“ Abstracts of papers presented before the Physio- 
logical Section of the Botanical Society of America, New York, 
N. Y., December 27-29, 1928.” The cost of publishing and dis- 
tributing the Supplement was met by the Physiological Section, 
and separate reprints were distributed to 1ts members in advance 
of the New York meeting. Fight papers (as against four in 
1927) were published on the “author-payment” plan, according 
to which, if the author or his institution defrays the entire cost, 
the paper is published in the next issue to go to press after editorial 
acceptance. All such papers are placed after the papers published 
in the order received and at the expense of the Journal. ie ee 
W. Sinnott, formerly of Connecticut Agricultural College but 
since September 1, 1928, of Columbia University, continued as 
Editor-in-Chief, and Dr. Arthur Harmount Graves continued as 
the Brooklyn Botanic Garden representative on the editorial board. 
The circulation of this Journal, as of November 30, 1928 (the 
close of its fiscal year) was 1,448, and the annual budget $12,454.73. 
Volume XV was dedicated to Frederick Charles Newcombe (1858- 
1927), who was one of those most active in securing the estab- 
lishment of the Journal, and who was its first Editor-in-Chief, con- 
tinuing in that capacity from 1914 to 1917, inclusive.
