Each niimber of the Biochemical Bulletin will hereafter o-o 

 to press on the I5th of the month and will be issued on or about 

 the last day of the month. The time covered, in each issue by our 

 section on "News, notes and comment," will be, accordingly, the 

 period from the niiddle of one month to the middle of the next. 



The monthly plan of publication will not increase the subscrip- 

 tion price of the Biochemical Bulletin. The Editorial Com- 

 mittee continues to pay all the executive expenses of publication, 

 which, with the further contribution of free editorial labor, makes it 

 possible to ofTer the Bulletin to subscribers at a price below that 

 of any other Journal of its kind and size. 



We propose to adhere to the policy of issuing but one volume a 

 year. There will not he an increasing expense to the subscribers, 

 even if the anmial volumes are enlarged. Thus far we have re- 

 ceived annually a larger number of papers than we have been able 

 to publish. The influence of the Kronecker Biochemical Prize 

 may add to our embarrassment in this regard, but the corresponding 

 qualitative increase in the value of the Biochemical Bulletin 

 will be a gratifying consequence for our subscribers. 



The Columbia University Biochemical Association decided, some 

 time ago, to endow the Biochemical Bulletin with a fund that 

 will insure the pennanent continuance of this Journal, in the active 

 Service of biochemistry as a science and as a profession. An- 

 nouncements of details in this connection will appear in succeeding 

 issues. 



One of the many who appreciate the career of Hugo Kronecker, 

 and who honor his memory, has authorized us to publish the fol- 

 lowing Statement anonymously: 



Kronecker " In response to your Suggestion that the award 

 Biochemical Prize of a cash prize of one hundred and fifty dollars 

 ($150), to the author of the most meritorious biochemical paper in 

 each successive volume of the Biochemical Bulletin, would 

 serve * cumulatively to encourage biochemical research and improve 

 biochemical literature,' I wish to say that you may draw upon me 

 for that amount ($150) for that purpose, for five years in succession. 



" In accordance with your general suggestions the only condi- 

 tions I attach to the expenditure of this fund are the following :
