Wie of the Institute, and Societies in correspondence 
with it, would confer a great favor if they would send 
to the Council, for distribution to Scientific Institutions whose 
sets of the Institute’s publications are incomplete, any duplicate 
or other spare copies which they may possess of back numbers 
of its Proceedings and Transactions. They should be addressed 
The Secretary of the N. S. Institute of Science, Halifax, Nova 
Scotia. 
HE attention of members of the Institute is directed to the 
following recommendations of the Committee of the British 
Association on Zoological Bibliography and Publication :— : 
“That author’s separate copies should not be distributed pri- 
vately before the paper has been published in the regular manner 
**That it is desirable to express the subject of one’s paper in its 
_ title, while keeping the title as concise as possible. 
«That new species should be properly diagnosed and figured 
when possible. 
“That new names should not be pr apescl in irrelevant foot- 
notes, or anonymous paragraphs. 
“‘That references to previous publications should be made fully 
and correctly, if possible in accordance with one of the recognized 
- sets of rules for quotation, such as that recently adopted. by the 
se French Zoological Society.”
