Regulations as to cutting down the number of entries and the 

 mode of indicating the relative importance of entries are given 

 below, Sections 50 and 63. 



Slips. 



41 . The entries to be inserted in the Catalogue shall be sent to 

 the Central Bureau in slips. 



42. The slips shall be 1 6 centimetres long and 8 centimetres 

 broad, and of thin card with a circular hole in the middle of the 

 bottom edge, the bottom edge of the hole being about 6 mm. 

 fi'om the bottom edge of the paper, and the hole about 6 mm. 

 in diameter. This hole will make it possible to tie several slips 

 together by means of cotton or thin tape. 



Such slips can be supplied by the Central Bureau at a cost 

 of two shillings and sixpence per 1,000. By taking large 

 quantities the cost of carriage might be reduced. 



The Central Bureau strongly recommends the Eegional Bureaus 

 to obtain their slips from them, in order that uniformity of size 

 may be secured. 



An exception to the above rule can be made in the case of 

 Regional Bureaus which send in their titles accurately printed 

 (see Section 68 below). 



Entries on the Slips. 



43. The entries on the slips shall be printed, type-written, or 

 legibly written in ink in Roman script. If any Regional Bureau 

 considers it to be absolutely necessary, an exception may be 

 made in the case of titles given in languages that do not employ 

 Roman script, and that cannot be accurately transliterated. 

 But it would probably be a great saving of expense if in such 

 cases the Regional Bureau concerned would put itself in com- 

 munication with the Central Bureau to attempt to arrange a 

 satisfactory system of transliteration, which might then, if agreed 

 upon, be published for the use of readers of the Catalogue. 



44. The slips shall be written on one side only. 



45. The Central Bureau cannot undertake to print any of the 

 titles vertically, all entries must therefore be in horizontal lines. 



46. Whenever an error has been made in any word the entire 

 word should be struck out and re- written.
