TORREYA 



ToRREYA, the bi-monthh' publication of the Torrey Botanical Club, \\a.s established 

 in 1901. ToRREYA was established as a means of publishing shorter papers and inter- 

 esting notes on the local flora range of the club. The proceedings of the club, book 

 reviews, field trips and news notes are published from time to time. The pages of 

 ToRREYA are open to members of the club and others who may have short articles 

 for publication. 



ToRREYA is furnished to subscribers in the United States and Canada for one 

 dollar per year (January-December) ; single copies thirty cents. To subscribers 

 elsewhere, twenty-five cents extra, or the equivalent thereof. Postal or express 

 money orders, drafts, and personal checks are accepted in payment. Subscriptions arc 

 received only for full volumes. 



Claims for missing numbers should be made within sixty days following their 

 date of mailing. ^Missing numbers will be supplied free only when they have been 

 lost in the mails. All subscriptions and requests for back numbers should be ad- 

 dressed to the treasurer, Dr. \Y. Gordon A\'haley, Barnard College, Columbia Uni- 

 versity, New York, N. Y. 



Of the annual membership dues of the Torrey Botanical Club, $.50 is for a year's 

 subscription to Torreya. 



INSTRUCTIONS TO CONTRIBUTORS 



The manuscript should be prepared so that it conforms to the best practice as 

 illustrated by current numbers of Torreya. Manuscript should be tj^ped double- 

 spaced on one side of standard paper. The editors may accept papers up to eight 

 printed pages in length. Longer papers may be published if the author agrees to bear 

 the cost of the additional pages. Illustrations (including tables and graphs) should 

 not exceed twelve per cent of the text ; authors of more copiously illustrated ar- 

 ticles may be asked to pay for the excess material. Brief notes will be published 

 with especial promptness. 



Drawings and photographs should be mounted on stiff cardboard and the desired 

 reductions plainly indicated. Figures should be so planned that after reduction the}- 

 will occupy the entire width of a page (4 inches) and any portion of the height 

 (6% inches). Labels should be parallel to the shorter dimension of the page. It is 

 best to combine illustrations into the smallest possible number of groups. Unmounted 

 material wdll not be accepted. Legends for figures should be typewritten and in- 

 cluded with the manuscript (not affixed to tlie figures). All legends for one group 

 of figures should form a single paragraph. If magnifications are stated, they should 

 apply to the reduced figures. 



Contributors may order reprints of their articles when they return galley proof 

 to the editor. A schedule of charges is sent with the proof, and will be supplied to 

 prospective contributors on request. 



Torreya is edited for the Torrey Botanical Club bj'
