NOTICE TO CONTRIBUTORS TO

PROCEEDINGS AND PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS

OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY

The Royal Society welcomes suitable communications for publication in its scientific journals: papers estimated to occupy up to 24 printed pages are con- sidered for the Proceedings and longer papers and those with numerous or large illustrations for the Philosophical Transactions.

Detailed advice on the preparation of papers to be submitted to the Society is given in a leaflet available from the Executive Secretary, The Royal Society, 6 Carlton House Terrace, London SWIY 5AG. The basic requirements are: a paper should be as concise as its scientific content allows and grammatically correct; standard nomenclature, units and symbols should be used; the text (including the abstract, the list of references and figure descriptions) should be in double spaced typing on one side of the paper; any diagrams should be drawn in a size to permit blockmaking at a reduction to about one half linear, the lettering being inserted not on the original drawings but on a set of copies; where photographs are essential the layout should be designed to give the most effective presentation.

The initial submission of a paper must be through a Fellow or Foreign Member of the Society, but subsequent correspondence will be conducted directly with the author. The latest lists of Fellows and Foreign Members are to be found in the current edition of the rear Book of the Royal Society. In the event of any difficulty, an author is invited to seek the assistance of the Executive Secretary.

No page charge is levied, and the first iOO offprints of a paper are supplied to the author gratis.
