Papers appearing in the FAR EAST JOURNAL OF APPLIED MATHEMATICS are reviewed in the Mathematical Reviews and also in the Zentralblatt fur Mathematik. Because the publication is its initial stage, the publishers have to depend heavily upon the print charges and the purchase of additional sets of reprints of accepted papers. Therefore, the authors are requested to arrange print charges of their papers at the rate of US$ 25.00 per page from their institution or the research grants. Twenty-five reprints of a paper are provided to the author(s) ex-gratis. It is a pleasure for me to request you to contribute a paper of your interest in our journal and also to promote the journal among your fellow-workers and colleagues.

Volume 2(2000) of the Far East Journal of Mathematical Sciences (FJMS) will be published in six issues. 2. FAR EAST JOURNAL OF THEORETICAL STATISTICS has completed its Vol. 3(1999) successfully in time. The journal is published in two issues per volume annually appearing in July and December. Depending upon the sincere help and support received from the learned members of the editorial board of the FJTS and the learned referees of the submitted papers, we plan to increase the number of issues in the FJTS from two to three appearing in March, July and December with effect from 2000. The thrust areas are Inference, Bayesian Analysis, Multivariate Analysis, Sequential Analysis, Stochastic Processes, Bootstrap, Wavelets, Probabilities, Mathematical Statistics, Econometrics, Time Series, Nonparametric, Markov Processes among others. 3. FAR EAST JOURNAL OF DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS is proposed for publication as a new journal which will appear in 1999 in one issue but from year 2000 it will appear in two numbers in a volume published annually in May and November. Each volume is likely to comprise of 300 pages and consist of duly refereed original research papers and survey articles in the field of Differential Equations and Dynamical Systems. The Editorial Board for this journal is in process of constitution and it is expected to take a final shape soon. Till date Professors N. P.
