Report of Editor : 



Mk. II. L. Bruner : The Proceedings for 190S 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 : 



Balance in State Treasury from 1908 if 244 98 



Appropriation for fiscal year 1909* 600 00 



Total $844 98 



Cost of Proceedings for 190S $43S 74 



Cost of reprints for 190S S5 6S 



Total 524 42 



Balance available for fiscal year 1910. $320 50 



Appropriation for fiscal year 1910 1,200 00 



Total available for printing the Proceedings of 



1909 $1,520 56 



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, so proof can be sent and the reprints 

 mailed. This is a very important thing and I hope it will not be over- 

 looked. 



Dr. Foley : Does anyone have any suggestions to make? 



Mr. J. S. Wright: 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 

 tbat 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 fiscal year 1909 began Oct. 1, 1908, and closed Sept. 30, 1909.
