NOTICE TO CONTRIBUTORS.


Authors desiring reprints of their papers are requested to inform

the publishers on returning corrected proofs.


1. Correspondents are requested to write on one side of the

accepted.


2. MSS. should be posted sufficiently stamped. This saves

the Society’s pocket.

written. This saves the Editor’s time.


4. MSS. should be folded, not rolled. This saves the Editor’s


temper. G. R.
