Chronica Botanica—Volume 1, Number 1, of this publication 
appeared in April, 1935. The Director has been a member of the 
Advisory Board since 1934. This first issue contains an article 
about the Brooklyn Botanic Garden and reproduces a chart show- 
ing our work in cooperation with other institutions. 
Botanical Society of America—For twenty-two years the Gar- 
den has cooperated with the Botanical Society of America in the 
publication of the monthly research journal, American Journal of 
Botany. It was the cooperation of the Garden and the responsi- 
bilities it assumed in 1914 that made possible the establishment of 
the Journal in that year. Since the support of the Garden seemed 
no longer essential to the continuation of the Journal, the Garden 
suggested the termination of the cooperation. The letters ex- 
changed in this connection, and the final report on the business 
management of the Journal for the twenty-two vear period are 
given in Appendices 9 and 10, pages 167 and 169. 
Miscellancous.—Cooperation with the following institutions is 
mentioned elsewhere in this report: Kings County, Prospect 
Heights, and St. John’s hospitals by giving courses to their nurses’ 
training classes; Brooklyn Bureau of Charities by giving employ- 
ment to 18 men registered with them; The State Institue of Ap- 
plied Agriculture on Long Island, at Farmingdale, in connection 
with the Iris project; the [Ecological Society of America, the 
editorial Board of Genetics, and the Botanical Society of America 
in the publication of research journals. 
COOPERATION WITH GOVERNMENTAL RELIEF AGENCIES 
When work relief began, some four years ago, the original 
adnunistration was The Mayor's Official Committee for the Relief 
of the Unemployed and Needy, popularly known as “ the Gibson 
Committee,” from the name of its Chairman. This was replaced 
three years ago by the Emergency Unemployment Relief Commit- 
tee, the distributing agency for which was the Emergency Work 
and Relief Bureau (EWB and ERB), supported by the City of 
New York through its Department of Public Welfare. The EWB 
was also referred to as TERA (Temporary Emergency Relief 
Administration).
