Bnmleyana, the Journal of the North Carolina State Museum of Natural His- 
tory, will appear at irregular intervals in consecutively numbered issues. Con- 
tents will emphasize zoology of the southeastern United States, especially North 
Carolina and adjacent areas. Geographic coverage will be limited to Alabama, 
Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, 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 in- 
vertebrate 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 Editorial Board, and ap- 
propriate specialists will review each paper adjudged suitable. Final ac- 
ceptability will be decided by the Editor. Address manuscripts and all cor- 
respondence (except that relating to subscriptions and exchange) to Editor, 
Bnmleyana, N. C. State Museum of Natural History, P. O. Box 216A1 , Raleigh,
