its place, the reprint paging being given in accordance with 
the foregoing rule. 
The committee also recommend the adoption of the two 
following paragraphs as addenda: 
j- If it is considered desirable to give other data than series 
number (if any), volume number, page and date, these should 
be added in brackets after the date. But useless or unneces- 
sary data should be avoided. 
k. Citations of reviews, abstracts, and all such secondary 
references should be enclosed in parentheses. 
Since uniformity is the chief object in the adoption of the 
tules for citation by the Congress, the committee call atten- 
tion to the necessity of an exact following of these rules by 
as many writers and publishers as can be induced to give at- 
hesion to them. To facilitate this we recommend that the 
editors of the Bud/etin of the Torrey Botanical Club, the Bo- 
tanical Gazette, Erythea, and the American Naturalist be te 
questéd to publish these rules, and examples of as ee 
variety of citations as practicable. The committee also = 
sire to issue these on tag-board sheets, ina form plese 
be readily distributed and preserved for convenient qt 
To enable the committee to do this, and to dissemi 
formation upon these points, we recommend that the a 
of the A. A. A. S. be requested to make a grant of $25 
cover the necessary expenses which may be incurred.
