Tables & Illustrations

1. Each table and its title should be on a separate sheet of paper, and its position indicated in the text. Tables should be numbered in Arabic numerals. Captions should be brief, yet indicate clearly the purpose or content of each table.

2. All instructions should be submitted unmounted, in black ink drawings of professional quality of glossy photographs. The author’s name and the figure number should be written lightly in pencil on the back of each illustration. The word “top” should be written in the appropriate place on the back of the illustration. A legend should be supplied for each illustration, with all legends typed on separate sheets of paper.

3. Lines in charts should be in black; graph paper, when used, should have grey or faint blue ruling.

4. X-ray prints, not films, should be submitted. Where prints are poor a tracing of the outline should be submitted with the X-ray prints.

5. Magnifications of microscopical illustrations should be given in the legends (e.g. x 250).

6. Illustrations should be a maximum size of 12 x 10 cm (5 x 4 inch). Any words, numbers, and symbols which are part of an illustration should be large and clear enough to remain legible when the figure is reduced to column width.

8. Colour illustrations are allowable only in special circumstances, and the author will be expected to meet the cost of reproduction.
