Memoranda concerning Communications, Manuscripts, 

 and Specimens for ExJiihition. 



The Council desire it to be understood that authors are alone 

 responsible for the facts and opinions contained in their respective 

 papers. 



It is to be noted that the sequence of the papers as printed in 

 the Society's Journals do not in all cases absolutely follow date 

 of reading. Some communications of necessity may require re- 

 consideration of Council ; and others depend somewhat on exigen- 

 cies and convenience in printing, illustrations &c., which on 

 occasion may delay or expedite their publication. As far as pos- 

 sible, however, precedence is given to date of reading of papers, 

 especially when not of too lengthy a character. 



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. Manuscript ought to be 

 clearly and legibly written on one side of the paper only, and 

 lengthened corrections, additional paragraphs, 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 consecu- 

 tive running number of pages. All drawings for illustration 

 should be accompanied by full descriptions. 



In 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 will be 

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

 the manuscript. 



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 

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

 question, but earlier if possible, and with memoranda concerning 

 same. 



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.
