m 
of trees, sudden attacks of serious pests, etc., will find place 
in the Records. 
(v) The Records will deal strictly with professional matters and 
should form a valuable current exposition of the work of the 
Department which will be of interest and utility alike to the 
members of the service and to scientists and those interested 
in Forestry throughout the world. 
(2) Indian Forest Memoirs. 
(i) The Memoirs will be published in quarto size, 12j"X10", the 
size used by the Royal Asiatic and other Societies and by 
the Geological Survey of India, etc. The use of the quarto 
appears to be advisable as it allows, where necessary, of 
full-sized reproduction or of the preparation of a plate upon 
a scale commensurate with the requirements of the author. 
The Memoirs will be illustrated and the process of reproduc- 
tion will be similar to those used in the Records save that 
the photogravure process will be also resorted to, where 
necessary. 
(ii) Each issue will consist of one, two or more Memoirs or mono- 
graphs. The Memoirs will be bound up into volumes of about 
300 pages, excluding plates. A title page for the whole volume 
and one for each of the Memoirs it contains will be prepared 
and inserted before the volume is issued. Each Memoir 
will be separately paged at the top, the entire volume being 
paged at the bottom, the niunber being placed in square 
brackets. 
(iii) The Memoirs will appear only when suitable monographs for 
reproduction in this form are received. They will be devoted 
to the publication of complete and important monographs 
on particular subjects. For example. Memoirs dealing with 
careful research made into the silviculture of a particular 
species of tree or with a family or genus of insect or fungus 
pests or the description of new species ; researches into the 
formation, growth and economic uses of a paHicular gum, 
dye, tannin, etc. 
fiv) The Memoirs will be kept strictly technical, and will be open 
to the papers of all authors having a scientific or economic 
bearing upon Indian Forestry.
