The publication of a paper in Biometrika marks that in the Editor's opinion it contains either in 
method or material something of interest to biometricians. But the Editor desires it to be distinctly 
understood that such publication does not mark assent to the arguments used or to the conclusions 
drawn in the paper. 
Biometrika appears about four times a year. A volume containing about 500 pages, with plates and 
tables, is issued annually. 
Papets for publication and books and offprints for notice should be sent to Professor Eabl Pbaeson, 
University College, London. It is a condition of publication in Biometrika that the paper shall not 
already have been issued elsewhere, and will not be reprinted elsewhere without leave of the Editor. It 
is very desirable that a copy of all measurements made, not necessarily for publication, should accom- 
pany each manuscript. In all cases the papers themselves should contain not only the calculated 
constants, but the distributions from which they have been deduced. Diagrams and drawings should be 
sent in a state suitable for direct photographic reproduction, and if on decimal paper it should be blue 
ruled, and the lettering only pencilled. 
Papers will be accepted in German, French or Italian. In the first case the manuscript should be 
in Eoman not German characters. 
Contributors receive 25 copies of their papers free. Fifty additional copies may be had on 
payment of 7/- per sheet of eight pages, or part of a sheet of eight pages, with an extra charge for 
Plates; these should be ordered when the final proof is returned. 
The subscription price, payable in advance, is 30s. net per volume (post free) ; single numbers 
10s. net. Volumes I — X (1902 — 15) complete, 30s. net per volume. Bound in Buckram 34/6 net per
