Line illustrations
Each figure and table should be mentioned in the text and should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numbers in order of appearance. An indication may be given in the text indicating approximately where the figure or table should be inserted. Non-textual material is best submitted electronically. Create a separate electronic file for each table and illusatration. Images should ideally be 16 cm wide in Greyscale at 300 dpi and saved as a TIFF file in Macintosh format using LWZ compression (though other, comparable formats are acceptable).

Photographs / half-tone illustrations
Photographs should be submitted in black and white on glossy paper, or as transparencies. Computer printouts are acceptable for figures only if they are done on a high-quality laser printer.

Numbering figures and tables
Each figure and table should be mentioned in the text and should be numbered consecutively using Arabic numbers in order of appearance in the text for figures, and Roman numbers for tables. On the reverse side of each figure, write the name of the (first) author and the figure's number. The figures should be integrated into the text as much as possible rather than being inserted at the end of the document.

Headlines and captions
Every figure should have a caption which gives the number of the figure, explains what it is, names the author or creator and acknowledges any copyright. Except for the first letter, headlines and captions should be in lower case. Use numbers separated by decimals to indicate both sections and subsections.

Notes
Explanatory notes should be used sparingly and indicated by consecutive superscript numbers in the text. Notes should appear at the end of the document in the manuscript, before the references. Acknowledgements, sources of support, and the like, should be given in a separate brief section after the notes.
