EDITORIAL ANNOUN( 1EMENT 



The Journal of Comparative Neurology, founded by the 

 late Dr. C. L. Herrick, in 1891, was announced to include the 

 morphology and physiology of the nervous system, together 

 with studies in animal behavior and comparative psychology. 



To insure a more adequate representation of the last two sub- 

 jects, the Editorial Board was reorganized in 1904 with Dr. R. 

 M. Yerkes as responsible editor for this department ; subsequently 

 Dr. Herbert S. Jennings and Dr. John B. Watson were associated 

 with him. 



The very rapid development of studies in behavior during 

 recent years has produced a literature so voluminous and spe- 

 cial that it has seemed best to these members of the Editorial 

 Staff to organize, with the aid of other workers, a separate Journal 

 of Animal Behavior, the first number of which is to appear early 

 in 1911. 



While it is a source of keen regret that this reorganization neces- 

 sarily brings with it the severance of editorial relations which 

 have been uniformly pleasant, the remaining editors desire to 

 offer cordial greetings to the new Journal of Animal Behavior 

 and to wish for it all success. They pledge themselves to co- 

 operate in every way with this new venture, foreseeing that by 

 its aid a still closer articulation of the study of the structure and 

 functions of the nervous system may be attained. 



This is the occasion to repeat the statement made in the original 

 prospectus of The Journal of Comparative Neurology, that 

 by comparative neurology is meant, not only the study of the 

 nervous system in lower organisms, but all neurological researches 

 carried on in the comparative spirit.
