Each paper should be accompanied by the author ’s name, degrees and official 
address. 
Papers must be complete and in a form suitable for publication when com- 
municated to the Society and should be as concise as possible. 
Papers must be accompanied by an abstract of not more than one hundred 
words. 
Papers should be in double-spaced typescript on one side of the paper with 
ample margins. 
The use of italics in the text should be restricted to generic and specific 
names, foreign words and titles of periodicals. 
The cost of author’s corrections to proof above what the Council considers 
a reasonable amount, must be borne by the author. 
Unless otherwise specified each author will be supplied with fifty separate 
copies of his paper. Any number exceeding this may be obtained at 
approximately cost price. 
All references should be listed at the end of each paper and arranged 
alphabetically under authors ’ names, e.g , 
Keilin, D. (1929) Proc. Boy. Soc. B, vol. 104, p. 207. 
Lesage, P. (1895) Ann. Sei. Nat. Bot., vol. 1, p. 309. 
The corresponding references in the text, should be: 
“Keilin (1929)”, “Lesage (1895)”. 
The size of the printed plate will not exceed 8 in. x 4$ in., and drawings 
may be to this size, or preferably to a convenient small multiple thereof. 
The effect of the necessary reduction on lettering and fine detail should 
be borne in mind. Text figures should be drawn for reduction to a width 
not exceeding 4 in. 
Drawing in line should be executed in intensely black ink, such as good 
India ink, on a smooth surface, preferably Bristol board. Excessively 
fine, scratchy or faint lines are to be avoided. Tints or washes cannot 
be reproduced in line drawings, in which the maximum degree of contrast 
is necessary. 
Drawings or photographs for reproduction in half-tone should, where possible, 
be grouped for reproduction on one plate. They should be done or 
mounted on a smooth surface, such as Bristol board, as the grain of most 
drawing papers becomes visible on reproduction. Single photographs 
should be sent flat and unmounted. All prints should be on glpssy 
bromide or gas-light paper.
