Memoranda concerning Communications, Manuscripts, 

 and Specimens for JExhihition. 



Ik cases of lengthened communications or others of a purely 

 technical character, or where the author cannot be present at the 

 reading of his paper, as in the instance of Fellows resident abroad, 

 the business of the meeting and interest of the writer Avill be 

 greatly facilitated if an abstract for reading be sent in along with 

 the manuscript. 



It is requested that all communications forwarded to the Society 

 to be read before the Scientific Meetings be written out complete, 

 paged, and with proper references, fit for publication ; otherwise 

 there is possibility of their rejection. It is to be regretted that 

 difficulties and delay have already occurred through want of atten- 

 tion to the above matter. 



Manuscript ought to be clearly and legibly written on one side 

 of the paper only, and lengthened corrections, additional para- 

 graphs, or other notes of interpolation either pasted on fly-slips 

 close to their proper places, or written on separate pages, a, b, &c. 

 being added to the consecutive running number of pages. All 

 drawings for illustration should be accompanied by full de- 

 scriptions. 



It is desirable also that several inches of space should be left 

 blank on the first page above title of paper and author's name 

 &c., whereon instructions to printer may afterwards be inserted. 

 Similarly a couple of lines of interspace between title of paper 

 and text will enable date of reading and notice of plates, if any, 

 to be duly filled in. 



Specimens intended for exhibition at the Meetings during the 

 Session, or Diagrams, Maps, and objects intended to illustrate 

 papers to be read, ought, if convenient, to be sent to the Society's 

 Eooms not later than the forenoon of the day of Meeting in 

 question, but earlier if possible, and with memoranda concerning 

 same. _j

 ing-room will be closed from the 12th August till 7th September

 quested tliat all borrowed books bo returned prior to the former 

 date. 



Communications intended to be made to the Society may be addressed to the 

 President, the Secretaries, or Assistant-Secretary, at the Society's Apartments, 

 Burlington House, Piccadilly, London.
