The Reports furnished by the various branch societies of the Association and the arranging of them in the form of a Bulletin require thorough re-organization. The two Official Organs of the Association (Zeitschrift and Journal) have not hitherto kept level with each other in the publication of the Reports. An attempt is being made to alter this state of things; so far as is possible the Reports will correspond in the two organs. At present they are brought up to the end of the year 1922, in so far, at least, as the European Societies are concerned.
In order that this simultaneous publication may be effected, the Editor takes this opportunity among others of requesting the Secretaries to send in their Reports punctually. The Report for the first quarter of the year should be sent to me (at Berlin-Grunewald, Bismarckallee 14) before the end of April and that for the second quarter before the end of July; all Reports to be sent in duplicate. Special attention is called to the fact that herewith all previous directions and arrangements are cancelled.
Without prescribing any definite formula the next aim of the Editor will be to attain some degree of uniformity in the various Reports. Up to the present certain Societies have sent in merely the titles of papers read, without any notes on their contents. Others again have furnished such copious abstracts that if all the Societies followed their example the space allotted for publication would be greatly exceeded. The Editor will therefore shortly advise the Secretaries of some suggestions which should enable them to take a middle course between these two extremes.
