EDITORIAL COMMENT

in the last issue, and there will be no necessity to mutilate any number when 
the volume is sent to the binder. 
It may be argued that the danger of loss of the separate title page is a dis- 
advantage, but it is believed that the chances of this are small, and after all 
the lack of the title page in a bound volume would not be a serious matter. It 
would be far outweighed by the knowledge that each separate number is in the 
exact form as received from the publisher, and that each plate and page is in its 
right place. One advantage in having the title page mailed with the first num- 
ber of the succeeding volume, rather than with the last number of the volume 
with which it belongs, is that the actual date of publication of each number may 
be listed in it. This advantage of having the exact date of publication of each 
page readily obtainable in a uniform place in each bound volume will be appre- 
ciated by those using library sets of the Journal in the years to come.
