387 INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS

Contributions for the 1961 number should be in the hands of the Editor by 1 August. The Editor would appreciate prior advice of the title and length of any article which is to be submitted. Manu­ scripts should be in duplicate, typewritten, double spaced, and on one side only of paper of foolscap folio size. Pages should be consecu­ tively numbered. Each paper must include a synopsis placed at the beginning and giving a brief summary of the contents of the paper. Only the author's name should be included in the heading to the paper. The positions of text figures, tables, graphs, or maps should be clearly indicated on the manuscript. Only those words to appear in italic type should be underlined. Only illustrations that explain the text should be included with a paper. These may be in the form of line drawings, photographs, tables, or graphs. Owing to the high cost of process engraving, illus­ trations should, preferably, be in the form of line drawings clearly executed in black india ink on white drawing paper or draughting plastic. Remember that, when a line drawing is reduced to page size by the block maker, every line and every dot is reduced in thickness and size by the same relative amount as the whole drawing. For this reason lines should not be too thin or dots too small in the original drawing. Tabular matter should be kept to a minimum. Photographs should be printed on glossy paper and should portray essential in­ formation clearly; all extraneous matter should be trimmed away. They must be black and white. Flat-surface or sepia-toned prints will not do. All references cited should be listed alphabetically by author at the end of the paper. Where more than one entry occurs for the same author these should be listed chronologically. In the text sources of references should be referred to by author and date, e.e. (Smith, 1926). All generic, specific, and sub-specific names must be underlined in the manuscript. Family names and names of higher categories are not underlined, but are spelt with an initial capital letter. Synonyms should be arranged with the date cited first. Further information may be obtained from the Style Book of the Government Printing Office. Manuscripts illegibly typed, carelessly corrected, or not conforming to the above instructions, will be returned to authors and will not be considered for publication until brought into conformity with the instructions set out above. All manuscripts forwarded for publication in the Journal should be in a form ready for dispatch to the printer.
