Report of Editor: 
Mr. H. L. Bruner: The Proceedings for 1908 were published in the 
usual form. Each contributing author also received one hundred free re- 
prints of his own article. (No reprints of abstracts were furnished.) The 
financial part of my report is as follows:

I wish to call the attention of the members of the Academy to one or 
two matters. First in regard to the editorial statement on the program. 
We desire that papers be in the hands of the editor or secretary as early 
as possible, in order that the Proceedings may be gotten out more promptly 
than last year. Reprints will be furnished of all papers printed, excepting 
abstracts, and these may be furnished, if request is made. ‘These re- 
prints are paid for by the State Printing Board. 
I desire to ask for suggestions as to changing the style of binding and 
improving the quality of the paper for the coming year. 
I would also ask that each one sending a paper for publication should 
give his address on the paper, sc proof can be sent and the reprints 
mailed. This is a very important thing and I hope it will not be over- 
looked. 
Dr. Forty: Does anyone have any suggestions to make? 
Mr. J. S. WriguHtT: I am sorry to occupy so much time on the floor 
this morning, but I feel there is one thing that should be recognized, and 
that is the fact of the service rendered the Indiana Academy of Science 
by the past President, Mr. Glenn Culbertson, who succeeded in doubling 
the amount of money available for publishing. We now have $1,200 per 
* The fiseal year 1909 began Oct. 1, 1908, and closed Sept. 30, 1909.
