THE ANNALS OF APPLIED BIOLOGY 



The Association of Economic Biologists commences under the above title a 

 publication devoted mainly to the scientific papers read by members at the 

 meetings and devoted to those branches of Biology in which the Association has 

 been interested. During the ten years of the Association's life, its meetings have 

 discussed mainly horticultural, agricultural and forest biology; the specialised 

 parts of agricultural science, of genetics and of medical zoology are dealt with in 

 other journals and the Annals will appeal more to those interested in the diseases 

 and pests of plants, scientific problems of horticulture and forestry, tropical 

 economic botany and agricultural zoology in the stricter sense. 



The Annals will be edited by an Editorial Committee, including a General 

 Editor and Editors for each branch of Applied Biology in which members are 

 interested. The scope of the Annals is as wide as that of the membership of the 

 Association, and all members are invited to send in papers and notes to the 

 Secretary of the Association. 



Contributors are asked to send type-written articles if possible and as far as 

 possible to make illustrations in a form suitable for reproduction as text-figures. 

 Contributors will receive free fifty copies of their papers. 



The second number will be published as soon after the Easter meeting as 

 possible and will contain papers read at that meeting : if possible four numbers 

 will be published this year and thereafter it will be published quarterly. 



Terms of subscription. 



Members of the Association will receive the Annals free. To others the 

 annual subscription price, including postage to any part of the world, for a single 

 copy of each of the four parts making up the annual volume, is 25*. net ; single
