SCIENCE SERIES, established by the
Trustees ofthe University, owes its origin to
a belief that there should be a medium ofpublica-
tion occupying a position between the technical
journals with their short articles and the elaborate
treatises which attempt to cover several or all
aspects ofa wide field. The volumes ofthe series
will differ from the discussions generally appearing
in technical journals in that they will present the
complete results of an experiment or series of
investigations which previously have appeared
only in scattered articles, ifpublished at all. On
the other hand, they will differ from detailed
treadses by confining themselves to specific prob-
lems of current interest, and in presenting the
subject in as summary a manner and with as little
technical detail as is consistent with sound method.
