SUBSCRIPTIONS AND EXCHANGES 



The editors anticipate two issues of approximately 150 pages each annually, 

 but may not always be able to adhere to this schedule. Subscription rates are for 

 the two forthcoming issues: 



Individual— United States $ 9.00 



Individual — Foreign $ 1 3.00 



Institution $ 1 5.00 



All subscriptions must be paid in advance. 



Issues will be available on an exchange basis to organizations and institu- 

 tions publishing general natural history and ecology journals or papers on a 

 fairly regular schedule. Publications received on exchange will be placed in the 

 State Museum's H. H. Brimley Memorial Library. 



Address all subscriptions and requests for information on purchase and 

 exchange to Managing Editor, Brimleyana, N. C. State Museum of Natural 

 History, P. O. Box 27647, Raleigh, NC 27611. Back issues are available. 



DATE OF MAILING 



Brimleyana No. 9 was mailed on 24 October 1984. (See below.) 



PUBLICATION SCHEDULE 



In periodicals that of necessity publish on an erratic schedule (such as Brim- 

 leyana), taxonomic and other priorities are established by the date of mailing of 

 an issue and not the putative date of publication on the cover or the dates of 

 acceptance of individual papers. International codes of nomenclature speak 

 clearly to this matter (see pp. 46-48 in DeBakey, Lois, et al. 1976. The Scientific 

 Journal. Editorial Policies and Practices. C. V. Mosby Co., St. Louis. 129 pp.). 

 Nevertheless, one of the major abstracting services and several of our subscrib- 

 ers have suggested that our publication schedule would be less confused (and 

 less confusing) if we eschewed the notion of "catching up" for the years 1983 

 and 1984. Since each issue of Brimleyana is numbered consecutively rather than 

 by volume, we are able to adopt this sensible methodology, beginning with this 

 issue (No. 10). Our subscribers will still receive the two forthcoming issues 

 covered by their subscriptions.
