EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT. 
THE JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE NEUROLOGY, as originally 
announced, was open to contributions in the field of compara- 
tive neurology, physiology and psychology. The founder, feel- 
ing that the time was ripe for a more thorough correlation of 
the facts in these different fields, planned to devote the Journal 
as much to the functional as to the structural study of the ner- 
vous system. During the thirteen years of the existence 
of the Journal of Comparative Neurology, the functional 
side of neurological work, although not wholly neglected, 
has received far less attention than was originally contemplated, 
chiefly on account of the continued ill-health of the Editor-in- 
' Chief, who had intended to devote himself primarily to com- 
parative psychology. 
Now, however, we are able to announce an enlargement of 
the editorial staff which will insure a more satisfactory repre- 
sentation of the functional as well as the structural aspects of 
neurology. 
The Journal will hereafter be known as the ‘‘Journal of 
Comparative Neurology and Psychology.” The organization 
of the editorial staff remains in general as before save that Dr. 
Rosert M. YERKEs of the Department of Psychology, Harvard 
University, will be the responsible editor for the department of 
Animal Behavior. He will be supported on the editorial board 
by representative students of Comparative Psychology and 
other departments will be strengthened by the addition of 
collaborators. 
The attention of psychologists, physiologists and medical 
practitioners is called to the fact that this is the only journal in 
any language especially devoted to this large and important 
field of research. It is our aim to make the Journal indispen- 
sable to all interested in the structure and functions of the ner-
