N. urst of the Department of Chemical Engineering, Cambridge University, to whom we extend a warm welcome. Brian is well known internationally for his contributions to our imprOved understanding of chemical kinetics, flame, and hazards. He is particularly well known to our many authors in these fields who reside in that growing editorial constituency of geographically everywhere except the Americ.as and Japan. He has brought to his editorial duties what seemed to be boundless hard work and patience. Along with his expertly chosen reviewers (no editor can ever thank them enough), he has eased the passage of many a manuscript along the route to publication.

Citation statistics. We pay tribute to Brian, not only for his contribution to the standing of our journal, but also for the friendly advice he has offered to those authors whose first language is not English and for the painstaking care he has taken with their manuscripts. Since our journal started in 1957, with Alfred Egerton as Editor in Chief and Bernard Lewis and A. R. Ubbelohde as Editors, the turnover of Editors has been what might be described as sedate. Sadly, Brian's departure breaks a long standing link with the Chemistry Department at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology which goes back to 1965. In that year Sandy Ashmore joined Bernard Lewis as an Editor of our journal (there were no Deputy Editors) and in 1972 Bob Simmons became a Deputy Editor and served until 1989, to be succeeded by Brian. The Combustion Institute and the Editorial Board of our journal express their warm appreciation and thanks to Brian for his contributions to our work and welcome Allan Hayhurst to the vacated hot seat.
