An Appreciation

Professor H. B. Fell recently left Victoria University of Wellington to take up a position at Harvard University. Professor Fell had been editor of Tuatara since April, 1961, and the present healthy state of the journal, both financially and editorially, is in large part due to his efforts. Professor Fell combined efficiency with imagination in his approach to the post of editor and his success is attested by the commendable regularity of appearance of issues, the greatly improved format and the fact that support for the journal has increased to the point where there is now a steady supply of largely unsolicited manuscripts.

The Biological Society greatly appreciates Professor Fell's contributions to the success of its journal and wishes him every success in his new position.
