journal titles. Use the
colon-parentheses system for volume/number/page citations: "10(2):5-9."
For alinement and arrangement of elements, follow the format of the series
for which the manuscript is intended.

=Legends= for illustrations must not be attached to the art nor included
within the text but must be submitted at the end of the manuscript--with
as many legends typed, double-spaced, to a page as convenient.

=Illustrations= must not be included within the manuscript but must be
submitted separately as original art (not copies). All illustrations
(photographs, line drawings, maps, etc.) can be intermixed throughout the
printed text. They should be termed =Figures= and should be numbered
consecutively. If several "figures" are treated as components of a single
larger figure, they should be designated by lowercase italic letters
(underlined in copy) on the illustration, in the legend, and in text
references: "Figure 9+b+." If illustrations are intended to be printed
separately on coated stock following the text, they should be termed
=Plates= and any components should be lettered as in figures: "Plate
9+b+." Keys to any symbols within an illustration should appear on the art
and not in the legend.

=A few points of style=: (1) Do not use periods after such abbreviations
as "mm, ft, yds, USNM, NNE, AM, BC." (2) Use hyphens in spelled-out
fractions: "two-thirds." (3) Spell out numbers "one" through "nine" in
expository text, but use numerals in all other cases if possible. (4) Use
the metric system of measurement, where possible, instead of the English
system. (5) Use the decimal system, where possible, in place of fractions.
(6) Use day/month/year sequence for dates: "9 April 1976." (7) For months
in tabular listings or data sections, use three-letter abbreviations with
no periods: "Jan, Mar, Jun," etc.

=Arrange and paginate sequentially EVERY sheet of manuscript=--including
ALL front matter and ALL legends, etc., at the back of the text--in the
following order: (1) title page, (2) abstract, (3) table of contents, (4)
foreword and/or preface, (5) text, (6) appendixes, (7) notes, (8)
glossary, (9) bibliography, (10) index, (11) legends.
