Announcement for "Biometrika, A Journal for the Statistical Study of Biological Problems," established by Karl Pearson (2)

1998. [italics]Biometrika[end italics] will appear about four times a year. A volumen containing about 400 pages, with plates and tables, will be issued annually. Papers for publication should be sent to Professor W. F. R. Weldon, Merton Lea, Oxford, or to Professor C. B. Davenport, University of Chicago, Illinois, U.S. It is very desirable that a copy of all measurements made, not necessarily for publication, should accompany each paper. In all cases the papers themselves should contain not only the calculated constraints, but the distributions from which they have been deduced. Papers will be accepted in German, French, or Italian. In the first case the manuscript should be in Roman not German characters. Contributors receive 25 copies of their papers free. Fifty additional copies may be had at cost price about 6/- per sheet of eight pages: these should be ordered when the final proof is returned. All communications, other than those relating to contributions, should be addressed to the University Press, Cambridge. The subscription price, payable in advance, is 30s. net per volume (post free); single numbers 10s. net. Subscriptions may be sent to Messrs. C. J. Clay & Sons, Cambridge University Press Warehouse, Ave Maria Lane, London, either direct or through any bookseller.
