EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS. 



The editors are certain that the readers of the Journal of 

 Comparative Neurology will join with them in cordially welcom- 

 ing to the board of editorial collaborators, Dr. Lewellys F. Bar- 

 ker, Professor of Anatomy in the University of Chicago and Rush 

 Medical College. The department of neurology of which Dr. 

 Barker will have especial editorial supervision is. The Neurone 

 Systems and Conduction Paths, a department of which the basis 

 of our knowledge has been revolutionized within the past de- 

 cade and of which our exact knowledge of anatomical fact has 

 in large measure been acquired within the same time. Dr. 

 Barker is peculiarly well qualified to serve us in this field, for 

 he not only stands at the fore among those who have contrib- 

 uted to our knowledge from these newer points of view, but he 

 has shown an ability rare among his colleagues of correlating 

 the new with the old, and thus performing a double service. 

 For many of us are apt to forget that nearly all of the general- 

 izations now currently included in the so-called "neurone the- 

 ory" were suggested more or less definitely by the researches 

 of what might be called the pre-Golgi neurologists, particularly 

 those working with the various degeneration methods. 



In conformity with the present purpose of the editors of 

 giving from time to time synthetical reviews and digests of neu- 

 rological literature, the first number of Volume XI will contain 

 a complete bibliography of the literature on the organ and sense 

 of smell, by Dr. H. Heath Bawden of the Department of 

 Philosophy of the University of Iowa. This bibliography will 

 contain nearly looo titles, including anatomical, physiological 

 and psychological subjects.
