The Editorial Board nominates Dr. Ronald H. Petersen, Department<br />
<strong>of</strong> Botany, University <strong>of</strong> Tennessee, to be Editor-in-Chief, beginning<br />
with Volume 78 (1986), and continuing for a five-year term.<br />
(5) Miscellaneous.<br />
A. There is a continual need for reviewers, particularly in the<br />
areas <strong>of</strong> physiology/biochemistry, genetics, and ecology. Names <strong>of</strong><br />
possible reviewers should be sent to the Editor.<br />
B. The average turn-around time (receipt <strong>of</strong> manuscript from<br />
author to return to author for revision) is 38 days. There is now a<br />
six-month delay, however, between date <strong>of</strong> acceptance <strong>of</strong> a paper, and<br />
its appearance in print (e.g., the papers accepted for the November/<br />
December, 1984 issue were dated before 15 June). This delay can be<br />
reduced by increasing the number <strong>of</strong> pages per issue, but this would<br />
be reflected in increased cost to the journal (and members) .<br />
C. There is a noticeable increase in the number <strong>of</strong> papers<br />
submitted as brief articles. To hold the number <strong>of</strong> such articles<br />
in a reasonable proportion to regular ones, it is sometimes<br />
necessary to delay publication by one issue (i .e., a brief article<br />
acceptable in time for the Novder/December issue might be held<br />
until the JanuaryIFebruary number).<br />
I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the<br />
Editorial Board for their prompt assistance and advice in 1983-84.<br />
I am grateful to Dr. Clark Rogerson and Dr. Maria Lebr6n-Luteyn <strong>of</strong><br />
the Publications Office, NYBG, for their active and cooperative<br />
support in management <strong>of</strong> journal affairs. The management personnel <strong>of</strong><br />
Allen Press have distinguished themselves in the level <strong>of</strong> cooperation<br />
and assistance given so generously to -the-e&Lter~g-the-year.<br />
For the Editorial Board:<br />
