NEWS NOTES 



An extensive list of Institutions, Societies and Research Work- 

 ers in the pure and applied plant sciences in C. and S. America has 

 been prepared by the Editors of Chronica Botanica, in co5peration 

 with the Div. of Agriculture of the Office of the Coordinator of 

 Inter-American Affairs, Washington, D. C. It has been published 

 in Chronica Botanica Vol. 7, No. 2 and 3 (March and May 1942). 



Contributors to Torreya will please send all manuscripts to 

 Dr. H. W. Rickett, New York Botanical Garden, Fordham Station 

 P. O., New York, New York, until such time as a new editor of 

 Torreya may be selected. 



The current editor has been appointed chief drug specialist with 

 the Office of the Coordinator of Inter-American Affairs with Nel- 

 son Rockefeller and associated with the Board of Economic War- 

 fare. Fordham University has extended a leave of absence for the 

 duration of the conflict and it is impossible to carry on the editorial 

 work associated with Torreya. 



I want to express my appreciation to the officers of the Club 

 and to the many members who have cooperated in the publication 

 of Torreya.
