EDITORIALS 



The BiocHEMicAL Bulletin has been received with so many 

 evidences of approval that we desire to make formal acknowledg- 

 ment of our appreciation of the cordial and widespread interest 

 Reception and future which has been manifested in the new Journal. 

 of the Biochemical Members of the Biochemical Association, bio- 

 Buiietin chemical colleagues, librarians of universities 



and similar public institutions, and many others who cherish and 

 promote the advancement of science, have tendered effective Sup- 

 port. We have received far greater encouragement in our plans for 

 the new Journal than it would have been reasonable to expect. We 

 accordingly rededicate our best efforts to the task of making the 

 Biochemical Bulletin a ''biochemical review" of special profes- 

 sional Utility and of broadly scientific usefulness. 



The influences which caused delay in the publication of the Sep- 

 tember number of the Bulletin have hindered prompt appearance 

 of this issue. Beginning with the March number, however, we shall 

 be able quarterly to distribute copies during the last week of the 

 regulär month of issue. This number contains much of the material 

 in our hands on December 3 1 . 



It will be impossible to publish in the Bulletin all the manu- 

 scripts we have already received for the first volume. We shall 

 adhere to our intention to issue annually but one volume of about 

 500 pages. Authors of papers for the June number and all suc- 

 ceeding issues are requested to endeavor to restrict their papers to 

 15 printed pages and to keep them within the bounds of 10 pages 

 if it can be satisfactorily accomplished. We desire to present as 

 much substance in as little space (and for as small an annual sub- 

 scription) as possible. The Cooperation of all contributors to these 

 ends is earnestly invited. Recrystallize your products several times,
