April, 1930] INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS 475
The minimum amount of reading matter should be included on the illustrations. Necessary information can better be set in type in a caption accompanying the illustration.
The maximum width of a JOURNAL cut is 4 inches and the maximum length is 6l/t inches. It is important to make sure that the necessary reduction in magnification of an illustration will not make the height of letters contained in reading matter on the illustration less than Vs2 inch.
Listing of Captions. — Captions for all figures and tables should be listed on separate sheets accompanying the manuscript.
Address. — It is important that the author's mailing address shall be written on the first page of the manuscript. His business affiliation should also be mentioned. The editorial office should be kept informed of changes in the author's address in order that proof may reach him promptly.

In the setting of this style, it was attempted to provide a flexible form. It is suggested that the author make extensive use of the possibilities of this established form.
It undoubtedly increases the value and clarity of a paper for it to be definitely divided into sections. It would assist the editorial office for the author to specify which type of heading or subheading is desired in each instance. The headings conforming to JOURNAL style, in descending order of importance are as follows:
CENTERHEAD
Italic Centerhead
Italic Sidehead. — These sideheads are run in to the text of the paragraph.

For the author to save himself a few minutes by omitting any item of the reference appears almost criminal when one considers the total amount of time needlessly wasted by the many readers.
References to periodical literature should contain the following items in the given order:
1 . The reference number which corresponds to the number in the text.
