The Kansas University Quarterly is maintained by the Uni- 

 versity of Kansas as a medium for the publication of the results of 

 original research by members of the University. Papers will be 

 published only on recommendation of the Committee of Publication. 

 Contributed articles should be in the hands of the committee at least 

 one month prior to the date of publication. A limited number of 

 author's separata will be furnished free to contributors. 



In order to have the volume begin with the year, volume V of the 

 Quarterly was closed with the number for October, 1896, and has 

 but two numbers ; but no issue was omitted. 



Beginning with volume VI, the Quarterly appears in two series : 

 A, Science and Mathematics ; B, Philology and History. 



The Quarterly is issued regularly, as indicated by its title. Each 

 number contains 100 or more pages of reading matter, with necessary 

 illustrations. The four numbers of each year constitute a volume. 

 The price of subscription is two dollars a volume, single numbers 

 varying in price with cost of publication. Exchanges are solicited. 



Communications should be addressed to
