Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Anatomical Record, Vol. 21: April-July, 1921 The policy of the journal will not be materially changed, but an attempt will be made to hasten the publication of accepted articles, to adhere a little more closely to the original plan Of The Record, and to differentiate it more clearly from the american journal OF anatomy. In order to accomplish these results, it will be necessary to limit the length of the articles printed. NO definite rules can be laid down, but in the opinion of the advisory committee papers of five or ten printed pages will usually be much more acceptable than those necessitating greater elaboration; while notes on laboratory methods, preliminary reports, etc., will be considered appropriate subject matter. All contributors are earnestly and confidently requested to cooperate in this policy. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
