The organization of laboratories in our great universities and their product exercise a wide influence on the progress of biology, that science having within twenty-five years come to occupy a position of great importance among the subjects of general education. Establishment and Maintenance of Technical Periodicals.--It is manifestly very important to provide means for the publication of results and, as needed, to have technical periodicals established and properly maintained. Their maintenance can not be effected on a purely commercial basis, and the result is that some of our best periodicals require financial assistance in order to exist at all. The subsidizing and support of these periodicals aid materially in the biological advance. A typical technical periodical is Schultze's famous _Archiv für Mikroscopische Anatomie_, founded in 1864 by Schultze and continued to the present time. Into its pages go the highest grade of investigations, and its continued existence has a salutary influence upon the progress of biology. The list of technical periodicals would be too long to name, but among others the _Morphologisches Jahrbuch_ of Gegenbaur, and Koelliker's _Zeitschrift für Wissenschaftliche Zoologie_ have had wide influence. In England the _Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science_ is devoted to morphological investigations, while physiology is provided for in other journals, as it is also in Germany and other countries. In the United States the _Journal of Morphology_, edited by C.O. Whitman, passed through seventeen volumes and was maintained on the highest plane of scholarship. The fine execution of the plates and the high grade of typographical work made this journal conspicuous. It represents in every way an enterprise of which Americans can be justly proud. The _American Journal of Anatomy_ is now filling the field left unoccupied by the cessation of the _Journal of Morphology_.[9] In the department of experimental work many journals have sprung up, as _Biometrica_, edited by Carl Pearson, Roux's _Archiv für Entwicklungsmechanik_, the _Journal of Experimental Zoology_ recently established in the United States, etc., etc.
