Manuscript form. Manuscripts should be typed on 
on® side of standard-size, white bond paper and 
double-spaced throughout. Pages should be conse- 
cutively numbered in upper right-hand corner. Sheets 
should not be fastened together in any way, and should 
be mailed flat. Inserts should be either typed on 
separate sheets or pasted on proper page, and point 
of insertion should be clearly indicated. 
Original copy and one carbon copy of manuscript 
should be submitted. The author should retain a 
carbon copy. Although due care will be taken, the 
editors cannot be responsible for loss of manuscripts. 
Introduction and summary. It is desirable to state 
the purpose and scope of the paper in an introductory 
paragraph and to give a summary of results at the 
end of the paper. 
Dictionary style. It is recommended that authors 
follow capitalization, spelling, compounding, abbre- 
viations, etc., given in Wehster^s Neta International 
Dictionary (unabridged), second edition; or, if de- 
sired, the Oxford Dictionary. Abbreviations of titles 
of publications should, if possible, follow those given 
in U. S. Department of Agriculture Miscellaneous 
Publication 357. 
Footnotes. Footnotes should be used sparingly and 
never for citing references (see later). When used, 
footnotes should be consecutively numbered by sup- 
erior figures throughout the body of the paper. Foot- 
notes should be typed in the body of the manuscript 
on a line immediately below the citation, and sep- 
arated from the text by lines running across the page. 
Citations of printed sources. All references cited 
should be listed alphabetically by author at the end 
of the paper, typed double-spaced. References to books 
and to papers in periodicals should conform to the 
following models: 
Batzo, Roderick L., and J. K. Ripkin. 1849. A 
treatise on Pacific gastropods, vii + 326 pp., 8 figs., 
1 map. Rice and Shipley, Boston. 
Crawford, David L. 1920<^. New or interesting 
Psyllidae of the Pacific Coast (Homop.) . Bnt. News 
31 (1): 12-14. 
1920^. Cerotrioza (Psyllidae, Homoptera), 
Hawaii. Ent. Soc., Proc. 4 (2): 374-375. 
Rock, Joseph F. 1916. The sandalwoods of Hawaii; 
a revision of the Hawaiian species of the genus 
Santalum. Hawaii Ed. Commas. Agr. and Forestry, 
Dip. Forestry Bot., Bui. 3: 1-43, 13 pis. 
In the text, sources should be referred to by author, 
date, and page, as follows: "It was noted (Rock, 
1916: 18) that . . or "Rock (1916: 21-24) 
says . . .” 
Quotations. Quoted matter of fewer than five printed 
lines (about 200 characters) should be given in the 
text in the usual form, using double quote marks. 
Longer quotations should be set - flush with left 
margin. The author is responsible for the accuracy 
of quoted material. 
Numbers. Decimals, measurements, money, percent- 
ages, time; enumerations in which any figure is 10 or 
over; and isolated enumerations of 10 and over should 
be given in Arabic figures, rather than spelled out, 
except when the number begins a sentence. 
Illustrative Matter 
Illustrations should accompany manuscript, on sep- 
arate sheets. Often more valuable than a photograph 
is a good line drawing, which may be reproduced by 
the zinc etching process. 
Figures and graphs. Copy for figures and graphs 
should always be drawn large enough to allow for at 
least one-third reduction by the engraver. Copy 
should consist of carefully prepared line drawings in 
one color only, drawn in India ink on plain white 
drawing paper or tracing cloth. Co-ordinate paper 
with lines in light blue (a color which will not show 
in a photograph) may be used; but co-ordinates which 
should appear in the finished graph must be drawn 
in India ink. If original figures may not be con- 
veniently submitted with manuscript, duplicate rough 
sketches or photographic prints may be furnished to 
aid the editors in their decisions. 
It is strongly urged that an indication of scale be 
incorporated as a part of all drawings in which 
magnification and size are critical considerations. 
Photographs. Photographs should be chosen for clarity 
in portraying essential information. They should be 
printed for contrast, on glossy paper, and should be 
sent unmounted. They should be identified with serial 
number written in soft pencil on the back to corres- 
pond with list of captions. 
Tables. Tabular matter should be kept to a minimum. 
Each table should be typed on a separate page, and its 
position indicated on the manuscript. 
Captions. Readily identifiable captions for figures, 
graphs, photographs, and other illustrative matter 
should be supplied. 
Proofs 
Proofs should be corrected immediately and re- 
turned at once to the Editor-in-Chief. All queries on 
proofs should be answered. 
Reprints 
Reprints or separates should be ordered when 
proofs are returned. Each contribution will entitle the 
author (or group of authors) to 50 free reprints, 
without covers (these 50 to be divided where more 
than one author is named). At the time proofs are 
returned, authors may order additional reprints, with 
or without covers, at prices indicated in a schedule 
accompanying proofs.
