MICRONESICA is a forum for original research in the fields of physical and social anthropology, archaeology, linguistics, and ethnology; systematic and ecological botany and zoology, marine sciences, and related disciplines concerned primarily with Micronesia and adjacent areas.

MICRONESICA is published twice a year (June and December) by the University of Guam. Subscription prices: Individual $15 per volume, Institutional. $25 per volume (including any Supplement). Views expressed by the authors are their own and do not necessarily reflect those.of the University, the editors or printers. Š Copyright 1990 by University of Guam Press

MICRONESICA INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTRIBUTORS Scientific research reports, notes, review papers, bibliographies, and book reviews in anthropology, biology, and related fields are accepted on the basis of their originality and their pertinence to Micronesia and the adjacent Pacific areas. Descriptions of new species will be considered formal papers, no matter how short; information on range extensions will be considered notes, no matter how long. The manuscripts must be written in English, but a summary in another language is acceptable.

Each manuscript will be reviewed by at least two members of the Editorial Board or by specialists other than board members in whose field the paper lies.

Manuscripts should be sent via airmail to The Editor, The Marine Laboratory, University of Guam, UOG Station, Mangilao, Guam 96923, U.S.A. The original and two clear copies of text and artwork are required; the original will be retained in the editorial office while the copies are sent out for review.

Authors must follow the guidelines below. Papers which deviate from the required format may be returned for revision before review.

General: Micronesica has a broad readership. Authors are encouraged to write the Abstract and opening paragraphs of the Introduction to be intelligible to that broad public, even though the body of the work may be highly specialist.

The manuscript must be typed on one side of 8Yzx 11 or A4 paper, with generous margins all around. DOUBLE SPACE EVERYTHING, including abstract, references and tables. Clear print is essential-faint type or dot matrix printout is unacceptable. The layout of the text should follow a scientific format suitable to the material (see previous issues of M icronesica).

Title page: The first page should give only the title (capitals and lower case, please), authors' names and addresses, and the running head. Present addresses, if different, are to be given in a footnote on the first page. However, contribution numbers should be given in the Acknowledgements.

Abstract: For formal papers, the second page should provide an informative abstract of not more than 300 words. Remember that Micronesica is accessible through electronic retrieval, and give a synopsis that is complete without reference to the text. Do not repeat information given in the title.

Text: Main headings are set in capitals and lower case, centered; subheadings are in italic, flushed left. Underline words to be set in italic (Latin names, foreign terms, emphasis), but do not underline for boldface. Avoid footnotes in the text. Indicate with a marginal note where tables and figures should appear.

Cite references by author and date, and follow the punctuation style carefully: "Smith (1987) found ... "; "as shown by various authors (Cheng et al. 1979, Cruz 1986, 1987, Jones & Jones 1989) . . . ".

Well-known, standard acronyms such as DNA may be used without definition, but other acronyms and abbreviations should be defined when first used; use them sparingly.

Acknowledgements are placed at the end of the text, before the References.

References: Ensure that references are complete and accurate. Please follow style and punctuation closely! List references in alphabetical order by first author. If citing several papers by one author, list single-authored papers in chronological order (Adams 1976; Adams 1980 ... ), then co-authored papers in alphabetical order of co-author (Adams & Brown 1989; Adams & Ng 1975), and finally, multiple-author papers in chronological order (Adams et al. 1985, 1988 ... ). Write out all authors' names in each reference-do

not use a dash instead-and note that second and subsequent authors' initials are placed before the name. Do not italicize journal or book titles. Do not give issue number unless each issue is separately paginated.

Tables: Tables must be double spaced and collected at the end of the text. Explain any abbreviations in the legend at the top of the table.

Illustrations: Plan illustrations to fit the printed page size, 125 mm x 180 mm, allowing enough space for the legend. One set of illustrations for the printer should be mounted on heavy card and covered with protective sheets of paper; two review sets may be unmounted. Be sure to indicate the top of the illustration and your name and figure number on the back of the mounting board. When a scale bar is appropriate its length should be given in the legend, not on the illustration. Do not give magnifications. If an illustration has been published before, due credit must be given, and written permission to reprint obtained from the copyright holder, the author, and the illustrator if necessary.

Photographs and line art figures should be numbered in the sequence in which they are used in the text, and the legends grouped onto pages placed at the end of the manuscript, after any Tables.

Photographs must be clear and be printed on glossy paper with good contrast. Crop photographs to include only essential detail. Cropping for ungrouped photographs may be indicated on the print borders or on an overlay sheet. If several small photographs are used, they should be grouped to fit the page width or made into full page plates; in that case, each photograph should bear its number legibly in one of the lower corners. Color photographs will be printed if the author bears the cost of reproduction.

Line art must be presented as original India ink drawings or as photographic reductions or Photomechanical Transfers (PMT's). Photocopies are unacceptable. Send artwork flat and mounted, not rolled. If the originals are larger than 11 x 14 have them professionally reduced, preferably to a size to fit the journal page. Be sure that lettering is large enough that when printed the smallest letters will be at least 1 mm high and that lines are thick enough and spaced widely enough that they will not fade or run together when reduced. Use transfer lettering or mechanical lettering devices, not a typewriter to produce lettering. Computer-generated graphics are acceptable only if they meet professional line art standards.

Proofs: Authors will be sent galley proofs for correction. Authors may be charged for changes other than corrections of typesetting errors.

Reprints: Reprints may be ordered on a form sent out with the proof sheets.
