T^HE attention of members of the Institute is directed to 

 •■• the following recommendations of the British 

 Association Committee on Zoological Bibliography and 

 Publications: — 



"That authors' separate copies should not be distributed 

 privately before the paper has been published in the regular 

 manner. 



"That it is desirable to express the subject of one's paper 

 in its title, while keeping the title as concise as possible. 



"That new species should be properly diagnosed and 

 figured when possible. 



"That new names should not be proposed in irrelevant 

 footnotes, or anonymous paragraphs. 



"That references to previous publications should be made 

 fully and correctly, if possible in accordance with one of the 

 recognized sets of rules of quotations, such as that recently 

 adopted by the French Zoological Society."
