Two-thirds of the Editorial Advisers are not Hungarians (their names will be disclosed in issue 40 (2) only, because some of those invited have not responded up to the close of the present issue). Their activity will also contribute to raise the level of English of the papers (it has been decided that the journal will publish papers exclusively in English). Every manuscript will be read by two reviewers and only concordant positive opinions can serve a basis for acceptance. The Acta are published in four issues (each comprising 96 printed pages) per year. Accordingly, the yearly volume does not change; if the volume happens be larger in some cases, it will not cost more to the subscribers. The subscription fee is only three-fourths of the former one. The present issue 40 (1) is mailed to all former subscribers free of charge. All those who place their trust in this renewed journal are kindly requested to send their subscription fee to the Hungarian Natural History Museum. Issue 40 (2) will subsequently be sent to the subscribers only.

A moderate page charge is required from authors outside Hungary in order to cover costs of correspondence, reprint mailing, lingustic revision, etc. As a consequence, foreign authors are kindly requested to send proper information on coverages of their page charge.
