Colleagues:
EDITORIAL CHANGE AT "HISTORICAL BIOLOGY"
Last month, Tony Hallam decided that nine years as a journal editor is
more than long enough. Accordingly, he has resigned his position as editor
of Historical Biology. We are very grateful to Tony for all that he has
done for the journal. From the beginning, he played a key role in getting
the new journal established. In recent years, always determined to promote
and improve Historical Biology., he has done the lion's share of the work.
The international scope and character of the journal reflect his wide
interests and persistent efforts.
The search for a new co-editor, who will join me in running the
journal, is under way. As soon as it is concluded, we will announce the
result. In the meantime, all manuscripts, inquiries about the possibility
of publishing symposium volumes as special issues, books for review, and
other matters related to the publication of the journal should be directed
to me at the following address:
R. D. K. Thomas
Co-Editor, Historical Biology

I look forward to working with any of you that may wish to submit
papers to the journal.
