336 JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE NEUROLOGY. 
vous system from whatever point of view. They will find much 
of value in the materials published, for in addition to the recog- 
nized fact that the human nervous system can be best under- 
stood structurally by a study of its phylogeny, it is now clear 
that an understanding of the reactions of lower organisms and 
especially of the evolution of action, is necessary for an appre- 
ciation of the functional significance of the human nervous 
system. 
For morphologists the Journal will continue to be, as in. 
the past, the vade mecum in its department. And we again call 
attention to the fact that by comparative neurology we mean 
not the study of the nervous system of lower organisms alone, 
but all neurological researches carried on in the comparative 
spirit and by the comparative method. 
In addition to technical articles of a special nature, there 
will be presented critical digests, synthetic reviews and editorial 
summaries of particular topics designed to give in a non-tech- 
ical way the most important results of research in each of the 
specialties in our field. 
Hereafter the Journal will appear bi-montly, and each an- 
nual volume will contain about five hundred pages. The first 
number of the new volume we hope to have ready in February. 
Every effort will be made to secure as prompt publication of 
acceptable contributions as is consistent with the high standard 
of scientific and mechanical excellence which we propose to 
maintain. 
The subscription price will be $4.00, strictly net

All MSS. and matter for review should be sent to the 
responsible editors. Those dealing with the structure of the 
nervous system and all business correspondence should be sent

versity, Granville, Ohio; those dealing with the functions of 
the nervous system and comparative psychology may be sent 
directly to Dr. Ropext M. YERKES, Psychological Laboratory,
