The Association publishes only those symposia presented at its meetings 

 that are systematic, comprehensive and documented discussions by eminent 

 specialists of important limited fields of science. It has been said that only 

 those symposia are published that the Association cannot afford not to pub- 

 lish. However that may be, the ten published in the past three years have 

 received hearty approval by specialists in their fields and a gratifying" number 

 of copies of them have been sold. The policy has been adopted of selling" the 

 symposia and all other publications of the Association at discounts to its 

 members. 



77/f Association Science Series. In June, 1939, the Association entered 

 into a contract with Doubleday, Doran and Company, Inc., for the publica- 

 tion, at the publisher's expense, of nontechnical books on scientific subjects 

 of wide general interest. Manuscripts submitted for this series are passed on 

 by a committee representing the Association and by the publishers. Only if 

 a manuscript is accepted both by the Association and by the publishers does 

 it appear as one of the Association Science Series of books. 



The first book in this series is "Multiple Human Births," by H. H. New- 

 man, which is scheduled to appear from the press on October 21, 1940. The 

 second is "Strange Malady" (allergy), by Warren T. Vaughan, which is 

 scheduled to be published in January, 1941. Members of the Association will 

 be allowed discounts of 20 per cent from the list prices of these books.
