Note to Contributors 



It would greatly reduce the work of the Honorary- 

 Editor if the following rules are kept in mind' by con- 

 tributors : — 



All matter for the printer should be typed and on 

 one side of the paper only. The name of a genus should 

 begin with a capital letter, but that of the species 

 only when it is adapted from a proper name (Vienna 

 Rules). No comma should be put in after the specific 

 name and before that of the founder of the species. The 

 Editor will see to the type but the writer may, if the 

 likes, indicate it on the following lines. The name of a 

 plant at the opening of a paragraph or when it is 

 desired to direct special emphasis to it may be under- 

 lined wavy ( ^) for printing in antique type, 



with the founder's initial or name underlined plain 



( -) for italics ; thus Acalypha indica L. If in 



the middle of a paragraph the name should be under- 

 lined plain, but the founder's initial not, thus Acalypha 

 indica Linn. 



Abstracts of papers in other Journals should begin 

 with the author's name and initial, followed by the title 

 of his paper and where it is published : the abstract 

 itself beginning a new line. (See the abstracts in this 

 number). 



A reasonable number of reprints of original papers 

 will be supplied if asked for at the time the contribution 

 is sent in, by indicating the number required on the 

 copy itself.
