INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS 



Submit original and two copies of manuscripts to the Editor, BRIMLEYANA, N.C. State 

 Museum of Natural History, P.O. Box 27647, Raleigh, NC 27611. 



Preparation of manuscript. Adhere generally to the Council of Biology Editors Style Manual, 

 Fourth Edition. Use medium-weight bond paper, 8V2 X 11", and leave at least an inch 

 margin on all sides. Double space all typewritten material. 



The first page will be separate and contain the title and the author's name and address. 

 Where appropriate, the title will indicate at least two higher categories to which taxa belong. 

 Example: Studies of the genus Hobbseus Fitzpatrick and Payne (Decapoda: Cambaridae). 



A brief informative abstract on a separate sheet follows the title page, preceding the text. In- 

 dicative abstracts are not acceptable. Footnotes will be used only where absolutely necessary, 

 numbered consecutively. 



Scientific names in taxonomic papers will include the author in first usage. Descriptions of 

 new taxa must be in accordance with the requirements of established international codes. 

 Etymology is desirable. 



Form for literature cited: Author's last name, first name, middle initial. Year. Title. Jour- 

 nal (see BIOSIS list of Serials with Title Abbreviations) volume (number): pages. Provide 

 total number of pages for dissertations and theses. For second authors use initials followed by 

 last name. Examples: 

 Woodall, W. Robert, Jr., and J.B. Wallace. 1972. The benthic fauna in four small southern 



Appalachian streams. Am. Midi. Nat. £S(2):393-407. 

 Crocker, Denton W., and D.W. Barr. 1968. Handbook of the Crayfishes of Ontario. Univ. 

 Ontario Press, Toronto. 158 pp. 



Form for citing references in text: parenthetical (Johnson 1973), page number (s) optional; 

 for more than two authors use et al. (not italicized). 



All tables go on separate sheets at the end of the manuscript. 



Preparation of illustrations. Illustrations, including maps, graphs, charts, drawings, and 

 photographs, should be numbered consecutively as figures. They should not be larger than 

 21.5 X 28 cm (8 Vi X 11 in.). The author's name, title of the manuscript, figure number, and 

 the notation "Top," should be penciled lightly on the back of every illustration. Lettering on 

 original drawings and maps should be of adequate size to permit proper reduction where 

 needed; do not type on illustrations. Legends should be typed, double-spaced, on separate sheets. 

 Avoid indicating scale as "X life size." Consult CBE Style Manual, pp. 39-45, for more com- 

 plete guidelines. 



Page charges, proofs and reprints. A per page charge of $20 is expected from authors 

 who have funds available from institutions, grants, or other sources. Those without such 

 funds should so indicate in their correspondence with the Editor. This will not affect accep- 

 tance for normal publication. Contributors who pay full page costs will be furnished 100 free 

 reprints. Reprint order forms will be sent with galley proofs and are to be returned to the 

 printer, not the Editor. On papers with more than one author, it will be the responsibility of 

 the correspondent to assure that other authors have an opportunity to obtain reprints. Proofs 

 are to be corrected, signed and returned to the Managing Editor within 48 hours. Changes in 

 proofs other than type corrections will be charged to the author.
