The BULLETIN

The BULLETIN is published three times each year (April, August, and December) and includes articles in English in any field of science with an emphasis on the southern California area. Manuscripts submitted for publication should contain results of original research, embrace sound principles of scientific investigation, and present data in a clear and concise manner. The current AIBS Style Manual for Biological Journals is recommended as a guide for contributors. Consult also recent issues of the BULLETIN and the Instructions for Authors on the inside back cover.

All manuscripts should be submitted to the Editor, Daniel A.Guthrie, W. M. Keck Science Center, 925 N. Mills Ave., Claremont, CA 91711. Authors are requested to submit thenames, addresses, and specialities of three persons who are capable of reviewing the manuscript. Evaluation of a paper submitted to the BULLETIN begins with a critical reading by the Editor; several referees also check the paper for scientific content, originality, and clarity of presentation. Judgments as to the acceptability of the paper and suggestions for enhancing it are sent to the author at which time he or she may be requested to rework portions of the paper considering these recommendations. The paper then is resubmitted and may be re-evaluated before final acceptance.

A cover illustration pertaining to an article in the issue or one of general scientific interest will be printed on the cover of eachissue. Such illustrations along with a brief caption should be sent to the Editor for review.
