Cameron, Editor, Medicine, Science and the Law, The Department of Forensic Medicine, The London Hospital Medical College, Turner Street, London, El 2AD. Original articles are accepted on the understanding that they are contributed solely to this journal, unless the authors state, before publication. that they reserve the rights to themselves. PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS Manuscripts should be typewritten, with double spacing and wide margins and the author should keep a copy. The original and one carbon should, if possible, be supplied. Articles should be prefaced by a summary. ILLUSTRATIONS AND TABLES Illustrations should be clearly numbered with arabic numerals and explanatory legends should be typed on a separate sheet of paper. Glossy photographs or positive prints (not X-ray negatives or slides) should be sent, unmounted, wherever possible. Lettering which is to appear on illustrations should be indicated on an overlay or rough sketch; it should not be put on the original. As coloured illustrations are very expensive to reproduce, the author will be asked to make a contribution towards the cost. Tables, numbered in roman numerals, should be typed on pages separate from the main text, and each should have a caption which will explain the data without reference to the text. All illustrations and tables should be referred to in the text. REFERENCES The citation of references should follow the pattern shown in the Reference Citation Recommendations issued by the Medical Section of the Library Associa- tion. Copies of these recommendations can be obtained from the Secretary, Medical Section, The Library Association, 7 Ridgmount Street, London, WCIE 7AE. The name of the author and the date of publication are given in the text; the list of works cited is put at the end of the article, arranged in alphabetical order of authors' names. When references to two or more works by the same author are listed, they are arranged in chronological order. Where there are more than two authors, these may be indicated in the text citation by the words 'et al.', following the name of the principal author; on the rare occasions when this may lead to confusion, the text citation should name as many of the collaborating authors as are necessary to identify the work cited. When several works published by the same author(s) in the same year are cited, they should he distinguished by the letters a, b, c, etc., placed immediately after the date. In the list of works cited each reference to a journal article should give, in the order indicated, the names and initials of all authors, the year of publication (in parentheses), the title of the paper, the name of the journal (abbreviated), the volume number (in heavy type arabic numerals) and the numbers of the first and last pages of the article. Abbreviations for journal titles should be those adopted by Index Medicus since January 1971; where no abbreviation is given by Index Medicus the journal title should be left in full and the publishers will provide a suitable abbreviation. A reference to a book should give, in order, the names and initials of all authors, compilers or editors, the date of publication (in parentheses), the title of the book, the edition number (if other than first), the place of publi- cation, the publisher's name and, where appropriate, the number(s) of the page(s) referred to. A reference to a contribution to a book should give, in order, the names and initials of all authors of the contribution, the date of publication (in parentheses) and the title of the contribution; then, after the word 'In:', there should follow the name(s) and initial(s) of the author(s) etc. of the book, the title of the book, the edition number (if other than first), the place of publication, the publisher's name and the numbers of the first and last pages of the contribution. Titles of papers and books should be given in the original language, with titles in Cyrillic and Greek alphabets transliterated. Only in papers in which many and frequent references have to be made should the items be numbered; the numbers may then be inserted in the text without interrupting it with a list of names and dates. Examples: Burke D. C. (1961) The purification of interferon. Biochem. J. 78, 536-563. Essex-Cater A. J. (1957) A Synopsis of Public Health and Social Medicine, 2nd ed. Bristol, Wright, p. 326.
