iv Memorandum for Authors of Papers. 



drawings, all the subjects comprising one plate should be grouped on the 

 same sheet of paper or cardboard, as any joining-up shows in the print. 

 Text figures should be drawn for reduction to a width not exceeding 

 4-J- in. If there are a number of small text figures they should be drawn 

 all for the same reduction, so that they may be arranged in groups. 



12. Maps. — A small outline map of New Zealand will shortly be obtain- 

 able at a low price from the Lands and Survey Department, Wellington, 

 upon which details of distribution, &c, can be filled in according to the 

 instructions given above for line drawings. 



13. Citation. — Eeferences may be placed in a list at the end of an 

 article or arranged as footnotes. The former method is preferable in long 

 papers. In the list references are best arranged alphabetically, reference 

 in the text being made by writing after the author's name, as it occurs 

 the year of publication of the work, adding, if necessary, a page number 

 and enclosing these in parentheses, thus : " Benham (1915, p. 176).' 

 Example of forms of citation for alphabetical list : — 



Benham, W. B., 1915. Oligochaeta from the Kermadec Islands, Trans. N.Z, Inst., 



vol. 47, pp. 174-85. 

 Park, J., 1910. The Oeology of New Zealand, Christchurch, Whitcombe and 



Tombs. 



When references are not in alphabetical order the initials of the author 

 should precede the surname, and the year of publication should be placed 

 at the end. 



14. In accordance with a resolution of the Board of Governors, 

 authors are warned that previous publication of a paper may militate 

 against its acceptance for the Transactions. 



15. In ordinary cases twenty-five copies of each paper are supplied 

 gratis to the author, and in cases approved of by the Publication Com- 

 mittee fifty copies may be supplied without charge. Additional copies 

 may be obtained at cost price.
