Brimleyana, the Journal of the North Carolina State Museum of Natural 
Sciences, will appear at irregular intervals in consecutively numbered issues. 
Contents will emphasize zoology of the southeastern United States, especially 
North Carolina and adjacent areas. Geographic coverage will be limited to Ala- 
bama, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Missis- 
sippi, North Carolina, 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.
