Memoranda concerning Communications, Manuscripts, 
and Specimens for Exhibition. 
In cases of lengthened communications or others of a purely 
technical character, or where the author cannot be present at the 
reading of his paper, as in the instance of Fellows resident abroad, 
the business of the meeting and interest of the writer will be 
greatly facilitated if an abstract for reading be sent in along with 
the manuscript. 
It is requested that all communications forwarded to the Society 
to be read before the Scientific Meetings be written out complete, 
paged, and with proper references, fit for publication ; otherwise 
there is possibility of their rejection. It is to be regretted that 
difficulties and delay have already occurred through want of atten- 
tion to the above matter. 
Manuscript ought to be clearly and legibly written on one side 
of the paper only, and lengthened corrections, additional para- 
graphs, or other notes of interpolation either pasted on fly-slips 
close to their proper places, or written on separate pages, a, b, &c. 
being added to the consecutive running number of pages. All 
drawings for illustration should be accompanied by full de- 
scriptions. 
It is desirable also that several inches of space should be left 
blank on the first page above title of paper and author’s name 
&c., whereon instructions to printer may afterwards be inserted. 
Similarly a couple of lines of interspace between title of paper 
and text will enable date of reading and notice of plates, if any, 
. to be duly filled in. 
Specimens intended for exhibition at the Meetings during the 
Session, or Diagrams, Maps, and objects intended to illustrate 
papers to be read, ought, if convenient, to be sent to the Society's 
Rooms not later than the forenoon of the day of Meeting in 
question, but earlier if possible, and with memoranda concerning 
same. 
Communications intended to be made to the Society may be 
addressed to the President, the Secretaries, or Assistant-Secre- 
tary, at the Society's Apartments, Burlington House, Piccadilly, 
London.
