Corrections of figures should be made with care, especially in 
tabular matter. Either erase the original figures and insert the cor¬ 
rections or strike out and write the corrections in the margin. 
Metric weights and measures. —Always abbreviate if there is a 
recognized form, as “gm.,” “kgm.,” “cm.,” “c. c.”; but spell out “liter,” 
“meter,” “square centimeter,” etc. 
English weights and measures. —Abbreviate only when inclosed in 
parentheses or in tables. 
Common name of plant, insect, etc. —The first reference should be 
followed by its scientific name in parentheses. 
Quotations and proper names should be verified, as no corrections 
will be made in editing. 
Geographic names. —The following authorities, in the order given, 
govern the spelling of geographic names: 
1. Correct Orthography of Geographic Names (decisions of the United States 
Geographic Board). 
2. United States Postal Guide. 
3. Lippincott's Gazetteer of the World. 
4. International Postal Guide. 
5. Rand, McNally & Co.’s Atlas. 
Corrections of proof. —The Government Printing Office seriously 
objects to material changes in proof; sufficient time therefore should be 
taken to prepare a manuscript so thoroughly that practically no editing 
will be necessary in proof. Except under extraordinary conditions, 
only one proof will be sent to authors. 
Changes in manuscripts are made by the editors either to conform to 
the Journal style or for clarity of expression. These should be consid¬ 
ered as suggestions of the editors. If an author wishes to revert to the orig¬ 
inal form, the necessary changes should be made in the proof sent him.
