m a d e available a t a nominal cost. T h e idea did n o t originate as a flash of genius. F o r several years we have been urged by readers and subscribers, a n d especially b y those who bind their volumes of t h e jour­ nal, to m a k e available a convenient package of editorial m a t t e r in the advertising section, sans advertise­ ments. T h e idea is seemingly a good one—information t h a t is not purely ephemeral (such as this col­ u m n ! ) could be bound and pre­ served along with t h e scientific papers.
