Skylight polarization patterns and animal orientation. /. exp. Biol. 96,

69-91.MAZIA, D. (1961). Mitosis and physiology of cell division. In The Cell, vol. 3 (ed. J. Brachet &

A. E. Mirsky), pp. 77-412. New York, London: Academic Press.Citations in the text are given in the following form: Jones & Smith (1960) or (Jones & Smith, 1960).

Where there are more than two authors citations should be in the form (Jones et al. 1960). Where more thanone paper by the same author(s) has been published in the same year they are cited as Jones (1960a), Jones(1960ft) etc.

IllustrationsAll line drawings and photographs should be unlabelled, with the author's name and the number of the

figure written on the back. The figures should be numbered in the order in which they are to appear in thetext. Authors should also submit two full sets of clearly labelled copies of illustrations.Line drawings must be no more than twice final size. Maximum final size is 200x130 mm. Oscillographsshould be made suitable for reproduction in the form of well-defined line drawings and should have a whitebackground.Do submit original line drawings on heavy white paper or as well-defined photographic copies.Do not submit drawings on tracing or graph paper. Computer printouts may be accepted if the quality issufficient to show the fine detail.Do not use fine stippling or shading.Photographs should be at final size. Maximum final size is 200x130 mm for a single plate. Photographsshould be glossy bromide prints with good definition. They should be gummed on to white card and groupedas they are to appear. Numbering and lettering will be inserted by the printers and should be indicated on atracing paper overlay. Magnification should be indicated, when relevant, by a scale line drawn on theoverlay or beside the illustration. Colour plates can be reproduced free of charge at the Editor's discretion.

Short communicationsMust be original contributions to the literature and not preliminary reports. Methodological papers will

only be accepted as Short Communications. All above instructions apply except that the communicationsmust not exceed four published pages in length (including illustrations), no Summary is required, and linedrawings must be at final size.

Proofsheets and offprintsAuthors will receive one set of slip proofs for correction and return to the Editor. Authors will receive 200

complimentary copies of their papers: additional copies may be purchased at modest cost, and should beordered when the proofs are returned to the Editor.

Disk/OCR processing

The Journal of Experimental Biology can use author's word-processor disks (5J and 3i") or optically scanthe manuscripts (see OCR below), instead of rekeying accepted articles. If available please send a copy ofthe disk plus details of the word processor and program used with your final revised manuscript.

Disks will be returned after use.

Where possible, please

•Label the disk with: your name; the word processor/computer used, e.g. IBM; the printer used, e.g.LaserWriter; the name of the program, e.g. Wordperfect 4-2; and any special characters used, e.g. a ji °, andhow you obtained them (i.e. dedicated key pressed or printer control codes used directly). If possible pleasealso include an ASCII file.

•Create and/or edit your manuscript, using the document mode (or equivalent) in the word-processorprogram.

•Give the file a name which is no longer than 8 characters (and put only one article in a file).

•Use paragraph indents.

•Use your word-processor facilities: Underlining, bold, superscripts and subscripts where required.

•Distinguish the numerals 0 and 1 from the letters O and 1.

•Type main headings in capital letters (e.g. RESULTS).

%Apple Macintosh disks. Microsoft Word users: please save your files to the 'MacWrite' format.

•OCR It may also be possible for us to 'scan' your manuscript (not photocopies) using an 'optical characterrecognition system'. Please ensure your manuscript is free from pen/pencil marks. The desired positions offigures and tables and any alterations should be marked on a photocopy of your manuscript. We cannot scanpapers if the underline rule touches the descending characters. If possible please provide another copywithout using this facility.
