II. Digests and reviews. An attempt will be made in each number to give a conspectus of the more important current psy- chological literature, and to review significant books, bad as well as good.

III. Notes, news, brief mentions, etc.

While articles of unusual importance in the field of logic, the history of philosophy, practical ethics and education will be wel- comed, the main object of the journal will be to record the pro- gress of scientific psychology, for which no organ now exists in English.

Controversy so far as possible will be excluded.

The journal will be published quarterly.
