THE University of Chicago Science Series recently established by 

 the Trustees of the University owes its origin to a feeling that there 

 should be a medium of publication occupying a position between 

 the technical journals with their short articles and the elaborate treatises 

 which attempt to cover several or all aspects of a wide field. The vol- 

 umes of the series will differ from the discussions generally appearing in 

 technical journals in that they will present the complete results of an 

 experiment or series of investigations which have previously appeared 

 only in scattered articles, if published at all. On the other hand they 

 will differ from detailed treatises by confining themselves to specific 

 problems of current interest and in presenting the subject in as summary 

 a manner and with as little technical detail as is consistent with sound 

 method. They will be written not only for the specialist but also for 

 the educated layman. The size of the volumes will range from fifty to 

 one hundred and fifty pages.
