Preference will be given to original manuscripts pertaining to Ohio Science.

Contributors need not be associated with either the Ohio State University or the Ohio Academy of Science, nor need their contributions deal with the State of Ohio. Manuscripts are subject to the approval of the editor. ILLUSTRATIONS. When illustrations form part of an article they should preferably accompany the manuscript. If their size does not make this convenient, they should be sent in a separate package properly labeled as to the article for which they are intended. Either half-tones or zinc etchings can be published, half the cost of the cuts being borne by the contributor. They are made under the supervision of the JOURNAL and a bill is then rendered by the JOURNAL to the contributor. All illustrations should be made with a view to having them appear within the limits of the printed form. PROOF. Galley proof will be sent to contributors. It should be returned promptly in order to avoid any disappointment in the matter of publication. Care should be taken to furnish a correct mailing address. The JOURNAL will not assume responsibility for loss of manuscript or proof in the mails. REPRINTS. A price list for reprints and an order form is sent with proof. This should be returned with the proof. No reprints are furnished free of charge. Shipments will be made upon payment of bills rendered for reprints and cuts. SUBSCRIPTIONS.
