﻿NOTICE 
  TO 
  AUTHORS 
  AND 
  COMMUNICATORS. 
  

  

  The 
  Council 
  have 
  had 
  under 
  consideration 
  the 
  rapid 
  increase 
  of 
  the 
  Society's 
  

   expenditure 
  on 
  publications. 
  In 
  view 
  of 
  the 
  necessity 
  for 
  economy, 
  authors 
  of 
  papers 
  

   are 
  urgently 
  requested 
  to 
  see 
  that 
  their 
  communications 
  are 
  put 
  in 
  as 
  concise 
  a 
  form 
  as 
  

   possible. 
  Delay 
  in 
  decisions 
  regarding 
  publication, 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  subsequent 
  trouble 
  to 
  

   authors, 
  is 
  often 
  caused 
  by 
  diffuseness 
  or 
  prolixity. 
  MSS. 
  must 
  be 
  type-written 
  or 
  at 
  

   least 
  written 
  in 
  a 
  legible 
  hand, 
  and 
  properly 
  prepared 
  as 
  copy 
  for 
  press. 
  Type-written 
  

   transcript 
  should 
  in 
  all 
  cases 
  be 
  carefully 
  revised 
  by 
  the 
  author 
  before 
  being 
  presented. 
  

   It 
  is 
  desirable 
  that 
  authors 
  should 
  retain 
  copies 
  of 
  their 
  MSS. 
  for 
  reference. 
  

  

  Every 
  paper 
  must 
  be 
  accompanied 
  by 
  a 
  summary 
  not 
  exceeding 
  300 
  words 
  in 
  length. 
  

  

  Authors 
  are 
  requested 
  to 
  refer 
  to 
  a 
  Memorandum 
  on 
  Mathematical 
  Notation 
  

   published 
  in 
  these 
  ' 
  Proceedings,' 
  1 
  909, 
  Series 
  A, 
  vol. 
  82, 
  p. 
  1 
  4, 
  and 
  to 
  adhere 
  to 
  the 
  

   suggestions 
  therein 
  contained, 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  possible. 
  

  

  Authors 
  are 
  further 
  requested 
  to 
  send 
  in 
  all 
  drawings, 
  diagrams 
  or 
  other 
  illustrations 
  

   in 
  a 
  state 
  suitable 
  for 
  direct 
  photographic 
  reproduction. 
  They 
  should 
  be 
  drawn 
  on 
  

   a 
  large 
  scale 
  in 
  Indian 
  ink 
  on 
  a 
  smooth 
  white 
  surface, 
  with 
  temporary 
  lettering 
  in 
  

   pencil. 
  Great 
  care 
  should 
  be 
  exercised 
  in 
  selecting 
  only 
  those 
  that 
  are 
  essential. 
  

   Where 
  the 
  illustrations 
  are 
  numerous, 
  much 
  time 
  would 
  be 
  saved 
  if 
  the 
  authors 
  would 
  

   indicate 
  in 
  advance 
  those 
  which, 
  if 
  a 
  reduction 
  of 
  their 
  number 
  is 
  found 
  to 
  be 
  required, 
  

   might 
  be 
  omitted 
  with 
  least 
  inconvenience. 
  

  

  " 
  It 
  shall 
  be 
  the 
  duty 
  of 
  each 
  Fellow 
  or 
  Foreign 
  Member 
  to 
  satisfy 
  himself 
  that 
  any 
  letter, 
  report 
  or 
  

   other 
  paper 
  which 
  he 
  may 
  communicate, 
  is 
  suitable 
  to 
  be 
  read 
  before 
  the 
  Society."
