'* I ^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 foot- 

 notes, 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 Zoolosrical Society."
