sisters (if any) of each of those ancestors. (Importance 

 will be attached both to the completeness with which 

 each family of brothers and sisters is described, and also 

 to the number of persons so described.) 



" (c) By the character of the evidence upon which the 

 information is based. 



" (c/) By the clearness and conciseness with which the 

 statements and remarks are made. 



" The Extracts must be legibly entered either in the 

 tabular forms contained in the copy of the ' Record of 

 Family Faculties ' (into which, if more space is wanted, 

 additional pages may be stitched), or they may be 

 written in any other book with pages of the same size 

 as those of the Record, provided that the information be 

 arranged in the same tabular form and order. (It will 

 be obvious that uniformity in the arrangement of docu- 

 ments* is of primary importance to those who examine 

 and collate a large number of them.) 



" Each competitor must furnish the name and address 

 of a referee of good social standing (magistrate, clergy- 

 man, lawyer, medical practitioner, &c.), who is personally 

 acquainted with his family, and of whom inquiry may 

 be made, if desired, as to the general trustworthiness of 

 the competitor. 



" The Extracts must be sent prepaid and by post, 

 addressed to Francis Galtou, 42 Rutland Gate, London, 

 S.W. It will be convenient if the letters ' R.F.F.' 

 (Record of Family Faculties) be written in the left- 

 hand corner of the parcel, below the address.
