The manuscript should be typewritten using double spacing, one side of sheet only. All pages should be numbered consecutively, including illustration pages (which preferably should be grouped at the end), with no omitted page numbers. Figures should be identified with the figure number and author's name at the bottom or on the back. Information should be kept on the margin, off the body of the figure.
