ILLUSTRATIVE MATTER 
Manuscript Form. Manuscripts should be typed on 
one side of standard-size, white bond paper and 
double-spaced throughout. Pages should be consecu- 
tively 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 car- 
bon 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 fol- 
low capitalization, spelling, compounding, abbrevia- 
tions, etc., given in Webster’s New International Dic- 
tionary (unabridged), second edition; or, if desired, 
the Oxford Dictionary. Abbreviations of titles of pub- 
lications should, if possible, follow those given in 
World List of Scientific Periodicals. 
Footnotes. Footnotes should be used sparingly and 
never for citing references (see later) . When used, 
footnotes should be consecutively numbered by supe- 
rior 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 sepa- 
rated 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. Rice and Shipley, 
Boston, vii + 326 pp., 8 figs., 1 map. 
Crawford, David L. 1920*. New or interesting 
Psyllidae of the Pacific Coast (Homop.). Proc. 
Hawaii. Ent. Soc. 4(1) : 12-14. 
1920£. The sandalwoods of Hawaii. Proc. 
Hawaii. Ent. Soc. 4(2): 374-375, 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 mar- 
gin. 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. 
Only the minimum number of illustrations required 
to supplement the text will be accepted by the editors. 
Reproduction costs of illustrations in excess of the 
number allowed by the editors will be paid by the 
author. 
Artwork for illustrations should be SY 2 x 11 inches 
or smaller, and it should accompany manuscript, on 
separate sheets. Often more valuable than a photo- 
graph is a good line drawing. 
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 draw- 
ing 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 conven- 
iently 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 mag- 
nification 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 corre- 
spond with list of captions. 
Illustrations will be returned to the author. 
Tables. Tabular matter should be kept to a minimum. 
Each table, prepared to conform with Pacific Science 
style, should be typed on a separate page, and its posi- 
tion indicated on the manuscript. 
Mathematical Formulas. Complicated formulas cannot 
be set by the printers. Authors should submit them 
as illustrations. 
Captions. Readily identifiable captions for figures, 
graphs, photographs, and other illustrative matter 
should .be supplied on a separate page. 
PROOF 
Proof should be corrected immediately and returned 
at once to Robert Sparks, assistant to the editors. 
Authors are reminded that the editors will allow only 
a minimum number of corrections on galley proof. 
Additions to the printed text and changes in style and 
content are not permitted. 
All queries on proof should be answered. If cor- 
rected proof is not received within four weeks after 
being sent to the author, author’s changes cannot be 
accepted. 
REPRINTS 
Reprints or separates should be ordered on the 
form provided and returned with author’s proof. All 
correspondence concerning separates must be directed 
to the printer, Star-Bulletin Printing Company, 420 
Ward Avenue, Honolulu, Hawaii 96814.
