INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS 



Although there are numerous journal-; in the United States that deal with various 

 special phases of bacteriology (as applied to Medicine, Sanitary Science, Agriculture and 

 the like), there has been no journal in the English language to represent the science as a 

 whole. 



The Society of American Bacteriolo^^ists has established the Journtal of Bacteriology 

 as its official organ and as a medium for the discussion of the more general problems of 

 the science — the structure and physiology of the microbes, the inter-relationships of mi- 

 crobic types, the effects of physical and chemical agents upon microbio life, the mutual 

 interactions of microbes growing together in various media, the nutritional needs and 

 products of metabolic activity of various microbes, and new methods of laboratory tech- 

 nique — and similar advances in knowledge which are so fundamental as to be of vital 

 interest to workers in all parts of this great field. The Journal of Bacteriology includes 

 in its scope not only the bacteria but other related micro-organisms, yeasts, molds, pro- 

 tozoa, etc. While it is planned to make the Journal in particular an organ for the more 

 fundamental and general aspects of bacteriology, it will necessarily include many papers 

 whose interest is mainW technical, particularly in those fields of bacteriology which have 

 now no sati.sfaclory organ of publication at their disposal. 



Manuscripts should be sent to Prof. C.-E. A. Winslow, Yale IMedical School, New Haven, 

 Conn. 



All other communications pertaining to editorial work should be addressed to Dr. A. 

 Parker Kitchens, Army Medical School, Washington, D. C. 



Twenty-five reprints of articles will be furnished gratis to contributors when ordered 

 in advance. A table showing cost, with an order slip, is sent with proof.
