The publications of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan, 

 consist of two series — the Occasional Papers and the Miscellaneous Publica- 

 tions. Both series were founded and are being supported by Dr. Bryant 

 Walker, Mr. Bradshaw H. Swales and Dr. W. V/. Newcomb, except that the 

 cost of the illustrations and of distribution are borne by the University. 



The Occasional Papers, publication of which w^as begun in 19 13, serve 

 as a medium for the publication of brief original papers based principally 

 upon the collections in the Museum. The papers are issued separately to 

 libraries and specialists, and, when a sufficient number of pages have been 

 printed to make a volume, a title page, table of contents and index are sup- 

 plied to libraries and individuals on the mailing list for the entire series. 



The Miscellaneous Publications include papers on field and museum 

 technicjue, monographic studies and other papers not within the scope of 

 the Occasional Papers. The papers are published separately, and, as it is 

 not intended that they shall be grouped into volumes, each number has a 

 title page and when necessary a table of contents and index.
