INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS 



Contributions must be double-spaced with 3 cm margins either side to facilitate marking up. 

 They should be typed if possible, on one side only of A4 paper. Layout should follow that 

 of the journal, but apart from underlining scientific names, no marks should be made to define 

 typeface. 



Line and continuous tone figures are accepted. Writing on figures is best listed separately 

 for setting and its placing indicated on a duplicate figure. Seek advice before drawing. Reduction 

 may otherwise necessitate redrawing. 



Authors of original papers of more than one page qualify for 25 free reprints. Extra copies 

 (prices on application) must be ordered when proofs are returned.
