THE JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY 
The objects of THE JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY , which was founded in 
1913, are (1) to foster and promote the study of Vegetation and Ecology, 
especially in the British Isles, (2) to afford an outlet for original work on 
these subjects, and (3) as far as possible to present a record of and commentary 
upon the progress of these studies throughout the world. Each issue contains 
original articles on Vegetation and Ecology, reviews and notices of current 
literature relating to these subjects throughout the world, and reports and 
notices of the meetings and work of the British Ecological Society. 
Form, Appearance and Price. Size, 10 in. x7J in. At present issues 
of not less than 64 pp. each appear in March and June, and a third larger 
issue in the autumn (200—240 pp. in all). With a larger circulation it would 
be possible to publish four quarterly numbers of 64 or more pages each. 
The Journal is illustrated by photographic plates of vegetation and by 
numerous figures in the text. The subscription price is one pound per 
annum. 
Contributions are invited, especially when they bear on general ecological 
problems or contain descriptions of new methods of research, from workers 
all over the world. They should be written in English, French or German. 
The metric system of weights and measures should be used, and citations 
should he in the form shown in the pages of the Journal. Illustrations for 
the text should be drawn and arranged for direct reproduction. If a paper is 
illustrated with photographs of vegetation, fine-screen half-tone blocks of 
suitable size should be supplied, or the author may supply prints of good 
technical quality for reproduction at his expense. Separates are supplied by 
the publishers at printer’s price. 
Publications for notice in The Journal of Ecology . Authors, Editors and 
Publishers of hooks, journals and memoirs dealing with vegetation, ecology 
and kindred topics are requested to send copies of their publications to the 
Editor. It is hoped to notice a larger number of such publications than has 
been possible during the war. All communications for the Editor should be 
sent to A. G. Tansley, Grantchester, Cambridge. 
THE JOURNAL OF ECOLOGY is at present the only publication of 
its kind in the world and is indispensable to all who desire to keep in touch 
with the widely scattered and increasing literature of the subject. The Journal 
has a good and increasing circulation, both in Great Britain and abroad, 
especially in the United States, a country notable for the vigour and success 
with which all kinds of ecological work have been and are being developed. 
Professor Warming, of Copenhagen, one of the most distinguished founders 
of modern ecology, has recently written, in the new edition of his Text-Book 
of Ecological Plant Geography (1918), “ Ecology has found an excellent 
(vorziigliches) organ in the English periodical, The Journal of Ecology .” 
Professor Cowles, of the University of Chicago, one of the American pioneers 
of ecology, writes (February 1920): “ I know of no critical reviews better than 
those in The Journal of Ecology .” 
Price of complete set of The Journal of Ecology , Vols. I—VIII (1913-
