Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology

IN March 1942 the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology will issue the first number of a quarterly publication to be named the Federation Proceedings. This will be published by an editorial board representing the five constituent societies of the Federation: the American Physiological Society, the American Society of Biological Chemists, the American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, the American Society for Experimental Pathology, and the American Institute of Nutrition. Four numbers will be published each year.. The March issue will appear just previous to the annual meeting of the Federation, and will be composed of two parts. Part 1 will include the abstracts of all the papers to be presented at the annual meeting, about a thousand in all. Part 2 will comprise the programme of the scientific sessions of all the constituent societies of the Federation. The June and September issues will include the full text of perhaps twenty of the papers presented at the annual meeting as selected by the editorial board, including probably the papers on the joint programme of the Federation as a whole as well as the papers of one symposium of each of the five societies. The December issue will include material pertinent to the Federation membership formerly published in the Federation Yearbook, which will hereafter be discontinued. The Federation Proceedings will be distributed without further charge to all members of the Federation. The subscription price to non–members will be four dollars (4.50 dollars foreign) payable in advance. Further information can be obtained from Dr. D. B. Hooker, Managing Editor, 19 West Chase Street, Baltimore, Maryland.
