Reviews)
THE AUK welcomesoriginal reports dealing with the biology of birds, emphasizing the documentation,analysis,and interpretationof laboratoryand field studies,theoreticalor methodological
developments,or reviews of existing information or ideas. Contributions are welcomed from
throughout the world, but must be written in English.
SUGGESTIONS TO CONTRIBUTORS. Submit the typewritten original and two copiesof the
text, tables, and all other material to the Editor-Elect. Three copies of illustrations should be sub-
mitted.All typewritten
materialmustbedouble-spaced
on one sideof numbered8•Ax 11 inch (2PA x
28 cm) good quality bond paper, with at least 1 inch (2•Acm) margins.Originals typed on erasable,
light weight, or mimeo bond will not be considered,but copiesmay be clearreproductions.Number
pagesthrough the Literature Cited. Avoid footnotes.The style of .manuscriptsshould conform to
general usagein recent issues.A cover page should contain the full title, a shortenedversion of
the title (not to exceed35 charactersin length) for use as a running head, and your addressat the
time the researchwas conducted.Your presentaddress,if different, should be given at the bottom
of the first text page. The cover page should include the name and full addressof the individual
to whom proof is to be sent.
Eacharticle should be precededby an Abstractnot exceeding5%of the length of the paper. The
Abstractshould recapitulatethe findings of the paper, not describethe work done. Acknowledgments should follow the text and precede the Literature Cited. Scientificand English names of
birds always should be given where first mentioned in the text, and should follow the A.O.U.
Check-list of North American Birds and supplementsor the appropriate equivalent unless departuresare explained and defended.SI metric units should be used in all measurements.In general,
abbreviationsof statisticaltermsand mensuralunits should conform with the Council of Biology
Editors(CBE)Style Manual, 4th ed. Use the 24-hour clock(0800 and 2030) and "continental" dating
(1 July 1971).
Tables,which must not duplicate material in either the text or illustrations, are typewritten
(double-spacedthroughout!) separatelyfrom the text. Each table should contain a short but complete heading, and must not contain vertical rulings. Illustrations(including labelsof coordinates)
should be on 8•A x 11 inch (2PA x 28 cm) sheets, and must be mailed flat. The name of the author
and the figure number should be penciled on the backof each figure. Legends should be typed
consecutively(double-spaced)on a separatepage.Drawingsshouldbe drafted with undiluted india
ink, and be large enough to permit • to •Z•reduction to the size that they will appear in print.
Graphsmay be drafted on coordinatepaper ruled with light bluelines; do notuse coordinatepaper
ruled with greenlines. Use mechanicallettering, pressuretransfer letters,or calligraphy;typewritten lettering is not acceptable.Lettering should be large enough to be easily readable after 50%
reductionof the figure, but not overly large. Lettering style shouldbe uniform amongall figures
for a manuscript,as should the size of lettering following reduction.Photographsshouldbe glossy
prints of good contrastand sharpness,and should be approximatelythe samesize as they will
appear in print. Lettersand arrows on photographsare bestapplied by pressure-sensitivematerials.
The Auk is published in a double-column format; give careful attention to designing your tables
and illustrations accordingly.
Literaturecitationsfor all manuscriptsare listed (double-spaced!)
in a LiteratureCited section
following the text and Acknowledgments.Text citations should include author and year (e.g.
Darwin 1858), or, if more than two authors are involved, the first author and year (Joneset al.
1947).If critical matter is cited or quoted directly from longer works, indicate the pertinent pages
(e.g. MacArthur 1972:204). Citations of two or more works on the same topic should be cited in
chronologicalorder (e.g. Meanley 1971,Dyer 1975).For abbreviationsand formsof titles of serial
publications,follow the BIOSIS List of Serials.Consult recent issuesof The Auk and the CBE Style
Manual
for additional
details.
