SPECIAL NOTICE TO MEMBERS 



A new ruling by the Postoffice Department requires that 

 the Journal of Heredity be issued on time hereafter, under 

 penalty of being no longer entitled to second class mailing 

 priviledges. At a special meeting of the Council of the 

 Association it was, therefore, decided that the best course 

 open to us is to close the present volume with this number, 

 designating it August to December, 1922, while the next 

 number will be Number 1 of Volume XIV, January-April, 

 1923. The May issue will appear on time, and Volume 

 XIV will contain nine numbers. 



In order that members will not lose by this change all 

 dues will be set ahead six months, so that memberships 

 which ordinarily would expire with the publication of the 

 January issue will not fall due until the July number' 

 appears. 



The Council regrets exceedingly that it will be impos- 

 sible to carry out our program of making up the numbers 

 we are behind, but since the loss of second class mailing 

 priviledges would necessitate discontinuing the Journal 

 immediately, it is evident that drastic action has been 

 necessary.
