TiOxNOUAHY EDITOR’S REPORT FOR 1949. 
Tlie firjst three parts of ]Vatsoiua appeared during the year — in 
January, April and October. It would appear that these, apart from 
the cover design, met with general approval, but suggestions for im- 
provement will be welcome. 
I’art 4 should appear early in 1950 and some material for Part a 
is in the printer’s hands. 
The delay in publication of papers has been largely overcome and 
contributors may now, in general, expect to see their papers published 
within a year of submitting tliem for publication. 
It is hoped that the time lag in publication of such regular features 
as Plant Hec'ords will be gradiially overcome. 
The cover design has lieen receiving the attention of the Publications 
{'ommittee and the Council and it is hoped that a satisfactory cover 
will rei)lace tlie present one before long. 
The attention of contributors is drawn to the Instructions printed 
oil the inside back cover of each part of Watsoiiia, particularly to the 
request that (MvS. should be double-spaced. 
The first number of the Tcur Book also appeared during the year, 
edited by the Honorary General and Assistant Secretaries. 
It has been decided that the Distributor’s Report instead of form- 
ing a sepaiate publication shall be included in the Year Book. As this 
decision was reached too late for the inclusion of the 1947 Report in the 
Year Jiook for 1949, it will shortly be issued as a Supplement. 
The report of the Conference on “ The Study of Critical British 
(Jroups ” was published in Octolier under the title, British Flowering 
1‘hiuts and Modern Sgsteinatic Methods. The Society is indebted to 
Air A. J. AVilmott for editing this publication. 
December Jl.st, 1949.
