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

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

 will emphasize zoology of the southeastern United States, especially North Caro- 

 lina and adjacent areas. Geographic coverage will be limited to Alabama, Dela- 

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

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



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

 raphy, evolution, and behavior. Subdiscipline areas will include general inverte- 

 brate zoology, ichthyology, herpetology, ornithology, mammalogy, and paleon- 

 tology. 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 Editorial Board, and 

 appropriate specialists will review each paper adjudged suitable. Final acceptabil- 

 ity will be decided by the Editor. Address manuscripts and all correspondence
