THE JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY 
EDITED FOR THE 
BRITISH ECOLOGICAL SOCIETY 
BY 
FRANK CAVERS 
T HE objects of The Journal of Ecology are (i) to foster and promote in ali 
ways the stud}'' of Ecology in the British Isles, serving as the organ of the 
British Ecological Society ; (2) to present a record of and commentary upon 
the progress of Ecology throughout the world. Its contents include original articles 
and notes on ecological topics of current importance, including methods of ecological 
study and research ; reviews and notices of publications of general ecological bearing 
and of work upon plant and animal communities in all parts of the world ; reports 
and notices of meetings of the British Ecological Society; and the progress of the 
Nature Protection movement and of ecological work in Nature Reserves. 
The Journal of Ecology, being largely a Review, is indispensable to those 
desiring to keep abreast of the extensive and widely scattered literature of Ecology, 
of which it will take a comprehensive view, including in its scope not only work 
dealing with general principles, methods, surveys, and other ecological studies, but 
also publications dealing with Plant and Animal Ecology and Geography, Plankton- 
ology, the science of soils (soil physics, chemistry, and the investigation of soil 
floras and faunas), and other branches of Natural Science (Geology, Climatology, 
Agriculture, Forestry, &c.), so far as these have a direct bearing upon Ecology— 
the relationships of plants to their environment in the widest sense, including the 
inter-relationships between plants and animals. In brief, it aims at furnishing 
a comprehensive review of progress in the entire field of Ecology, touching, as this 
field does, kindred branches of science on various sides.

December. The annual subscription price, including postage to any part of the world,
