publications or the wistab institute 

 The publication of five important biological 

 journals under the direct control of the Wistar 

 Institute of Anatomy of the University of 

 Pennsylvania has attracted widespread atten- 

 tion among anatomists and zoologists of the 

 country. The step is significant, not so much 

 because the institute has acquired five well- 

 established biological journals, but because it 

 marks an important advance in the coopera- 

 tion, so much talked about recently, among 

 institutions which consider it their duty to 

 devote some of their best energies to the ad- 

 vancement of human knowledge. 



The Wistar Institute began its career as a 

 publishing institution by the distribution of 

 Bulletin No. 1, which was a three-page leaflet 

 setting forth some of the plans the institute 

 proposed to follow in promoting anatomical 

 science. This was in 1905. At the close of 

 1908 the institute is publishing five journals, 

 with a combined yearly output of about 3,000 

 pages. Several of these journals are self-sup- 

 porting, while others incur a considerable 

 yearly deficit. The institute has been able to 

 assume the entire financial responsibility of 

 these publications, without encroaching upon 

 its regular income devoted to its museum and 

 research work, through the efforts and enthu- 

 siasm of Dr. Horace Jayne. Doctor Jayne, 

 who is in charge of the newly created depart- 

 ment of publication, has done much to improve 

 the journals, increase the subscription lists 

 and has been untiring in his efforts to put the 

 department upon a successful working basis. 

 No similar combination of biological journals 

 has ever been attempted in this country, and 

 the Wistar Institute is to be congratulated 

 upon the success attained in this new venture. 

 The first journal acquired by the Wistar 

 Institute was the Journal of Morphology.
