PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts, including references, tables and figure
legends, should be typed with double spacing on con-
secutively numbered pages with a wide margin on the
left. Two clear copies should be submitted. All papers
will be refereed on a strictly confidential basis.
EDITORS
Papers should be headed by a concise but informative
title. This should be followed by the name(s) of the
author(s), degrees, present position and full address.
A full length paper should have a short introduction.
Acknowledgements should be included at the end of
the paper, before the list of references. Abbreviations
should be used sparingly, conforming with those offi-
cially admitted and following the International Sys-
tem of Units (SI).
SUMMARY
A summary of not more than 200 words should be
included at the beginning of the paper on a separate
sheet. By recapitulating and emphasising its main
points, it should be easily intelligible without refer-
ence to the general text.
TABLES
Tables should be kept as simple and short as possible,
and should be intelligible without reference to the
text. They should be clearly typed with double spa-
cing on separate pages, provided with a suitable head-
ing and numbered consecutively with arabic numerals
in the order in which they are referred to in the text.
Considerable thought should be given to the layout of
the table (and figures) 50 that the significance of the
results can be most readily grasped by the busy reader.
ILLUSTRATIONS
Illustrations are welcomed when really vivid and
meaningful. All illustrations should be numbered
consecutively with arabic numerals in the same order
as they are referred to in the text (Fig. 1). They should
bear the author's name and the figure number pen-
cilled on the back top right-hand corner. Clear line
drawings, graphs and high contrast glossy black and
white photographs should be supplied. Line drawings
in black ink should be of such a size suitable for
reduction. All lettering and numbers must be at least
1.6 mm high after reduction, to be readable. Legends
to illustrations should be typed consecutively with
double spacing on a separate sheet and should be
intelligible without reference to the text. Artwork will
not be returned.
REFERENCES A carefully selected list of references is desired. All citations in the text should appear in the list of references at the end of the paper. In the text, follow the Harvard System by author's name and the publication date. One or two authors are cites as (Jones and Smith, 1978), while more than two are cited as (Jones et al., 1978). All references should be arranged alphabeti- cally on a separate page by author(s) name, date of publication, title of the paper, followed by the title of the journal (italic) abbreviated according to the Inter- national List of Periodical Title Word Abbreviations (Chemical Abstract and Index Medicus), volume num- ber in arabic with number of part closed up (in par- enthesis), the first and last pages. For Books, add edition number if second or more, editor's name(s), publisher and place of publication.

PROOFS
A proof of the paper and offprint order forms will be
sent to the senior author of the paper. These should be
returned to the publisher who reserves the right to
pass for press if author's corrections are not received
in time. In the case of plural authorship, the author
receiving proofs is asked to check with his co-authors
concerning corrections and offprint orders.
