Brimleyana, the Journal of the North Carolina State Museum of Natural His- 

 tory, will appear at irregular intervals in consecutively numbered issues. Con- 

 tents will emphasize zoology of the southeastern United States, especially North 

 Carolina and adjacent areas. Geographic coverage will be limited to Alabama, 

 Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North 

 Carohna, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia. 



Subject matter will focus on taxonomy and systematics, ecology, zoo- 

 geography, evolution, and behavior. Subdiscipline areas will include general 

 invertebrate zoology, ichthyology, herpetology, ornithology, mammalogy, and 

 paleontology. Papers will stress the results of original empirical field studies, but 

 synthesizing reviews and papers of significant historical interest to southeastern 

 zoology will be included. 



Suitability of manuscripts will be determined by the Editor, and where neces- 

 sary, the Editorial Board. Appropriate specialists will review each manuscript 

 judged suitable, and final acceptability will be determined by the Editor. 

 Address manuscripts and all correspondence (except that relating to subscrip- 

 tions and exchange) to Editor, Brimleyana, N. C. State Museum of Natural 

 History, P. O. Box 27647, Raleigh, NC 27611.
