EDITORIAL WORK AND PUBLICITY 
As usual, I continued to serve on the board of editors of the 
American Journal of Botany, as editor of the Plant Section of 
General Biology for Biological Abstracts, as editor of the Brooklyn 
Botanic Garden Contributions, and as associate editor of the 
Bulletin of the Torrey Botanical Club. As editor of the Brooklyn 
Botanic Garden Leaflets, | report that nine numbers were issued 
during 1934. 
During the year, 25 news releases, containing 50 articles, were 
prepared and sent out to the principal metropolitan newspapers. 
For the most part, the articles dealt with announcements of 
courses of instruction held at the Garden as well as news concern- 
ing the plants in the conservatories and outdoor plantations. In 
addition to these releases, a notice describing our Cycad collection 
was sent to Science and Torreva. Releases dealing particularly 
with the activities of the Woman’s Auxiliary of the Garden were 
sent out through the Brooklyn Publicity Bureau. <A total of 
1472 press clippings relating to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden 
were received, as against 1495 last year.
