=REQUIREMENTS FOR SMITHSONIAN SERIES PUBLICATION=
=Manuscripts= intended for series publication receive substantive
review (conducted by their originating Smithsonian museums or offices)
and are submitted to the Smithsonian Institution Press with Form SI-36,
which must show the approval of the appropriate authority designated by
the sponsoring organizational unit. Requests for special treatment--use
of color, foldouts, case-bound covers, etc.--require, on the same form,
the added approval of the sponsoring authority.
=Review= of manuscripts and art by the Press for requirements of series
format and style, completeness and clarity of copy, and arrangement of
all material, as outlined below, will govern, within the judgment of
the Press, acceptance or rejection of manuscripts and art.
=Copy= must be prepared on typewriter or word processor, double-spaced,
on one side of standard white bond paper (not erasable), with 1¼"
margins, submitted as ribbon copy (not carbon or xerox), in loose
sheets (not stapled or bound), and accompanied by original art. Minimum
acceptable length is 30 pages.
=Front matter= (preceding the text) should include: =title page= with
only title and author and no other information, =abstract page= with
author, title, series, etc., following the established format; table of
=contents= with indents reflecting the hierarchy of heads in the paper;
also, =foreword= and/or =preface=, if appropriate.
=First page of text= should carry the title and author at the top
of the page; =second page= should have only the author's name and
professional mailing address, to be used as an unnumbered footnote on
the first page of printed text.
=Center heads= of whatever level should be typed with initial caps of
major words, with extra space above and below the head, but no other
preparation (such as all caps or underline, except for the underline
necessary for generic and specific epithets). Run-in paragraph heads
should use period/dashes or colons as necessary.
=Tabulations= within text (lists of data, often in parallel columns)
can be typed on the text page where they occur, but they should not
contain rules or numbered table captions.
=Formal tables= (numbered, with captions, boxheads, stubs, rules)
should be submitted as carefully typed, double-spaced copy separate
from the text; they will be typeset unless otherwise requested. If
camera-copy use is anticipated, do not draw rules on manuscript copy.
=Taxonomic keys= in natural history papers should use the
aligned-couplet form for zoology and may use the multi-level indent
form for botany. If cross referencing is required between key and text,
do not include page references within the key, but number the keyed-out
taxa, using the same numbers with their corresponding heads in the text.
=Synonymy= in zoology must use the short form (taxon, author,
year:page), with full reference at the end of the paper under
“Literature Cited.” For botany, the long form (taxon, author,
abbreviated journal or book title, volume, page, year, with no
reference in “Literature Cited”) is optional.
=Text-reference system= (author, year: page used within the text, with
full citation in “Literature Cited” at the end of the text) must be
used in place of bibliographic footnotes in all Contributions Series
and is strongly recommended in the Studies Series: “(Jones, 1910:122)"
or “...Jones (1910:122)." If bibliographic footnotes are required, use
the short form (author, brief title, page) with the full citation in
the bibliography.
=Footnotes=, when few in number, whether annotative or bibliographic,
should be typed on separate sheets and inserted immediately after the
text pages on which the references occur. Extensive notes must be
gathered together and placed at the end of the text in a notes section.
=Bibliography=, depending upon use, is termed “Literature Cited,”
"References," or "Bibliography.” Spell out titles of books, articles,
journals, and monographic series. For book and article titles use
sentence-style capitalization according to the rules of the language
employed (exception: capitalize all major words in English). For
journal and series titles, capitalize the initial word and all
subsequent words except articles, conjunctions, and prepositions.
Transliterate languages that use a non-Roman alphabet according to the
Library of Congress system. Underline (for italics) titles of journals
and series and titles of books that are not part of a series. Use the
parentheses/colon system for volume (number): pagination: “10(2):5-9,”
For alignment and arrangement of elements, follow the format of recent
publications in the series for which the manuscript is intended.
Guidelines for preparing bibliography may be secured from Series
Section, SI Press.
=Legends= for illustrations must be submitted at the end of the
manuscript, with as many legends typed, double-spaced, to a page as
convenient.
=Illustrations= must be submitted as original art (not copies)
accompanying, but separate from, the manuscript. Guidelines for
preparing art may be secured from Series Section, SI Press. Ail
types of illustrations (photographs, line drawings, maps, etc.) may
be intermixed throughout the printed text. They should be termed
=Figures= and should be numbered consecutively as they will appear in
the monograph. If several illustrations are treated as components of a
single composite figure, they should be designated by lowercase italic
letters on the illustration; also, in the legend and in text references
the italic letters (underlined in copy) should be used: “Figure 9b.”
Illustrations that are intended to follow the printed text may be
termed =Plates=, and any components should be similarly lettered and
referenced: “Plate 9b ” Keys to any symbols within an illustration
should appear on the art rather than in the legend.
=Some points of style:= Do not use periods after such abbreviations
as “mm, ft, USNM, NNE.” Spell out numbers "one” through “nine” in
expository text, but use digits in all other cases if possible.
Use of the metric system of measurement is preferable; where use
of the English system is unavoidable, supply metric equivalents in
parentheses. Use the decimal system for precise measurements and
relationships, common fractions for approximations. Use day/month/year
sequence for dates: “9 April 1976." For months in tabular listings or
data sections, use three-letter abbreviations with no periods: “Jan,
Mar, Jun,” etc. Omit space between initials of a personal name: “J.B.
Jones.”
=Arrange and paginate sequentially every sheet of manuscript= in the
following order: (1) title page, (2) abstract, (3) contents, (4)
foreword and/or preface, (5) text, (6) appendixes, (7) notes section,
(8) glossary, (9) bibliography, (10) legends, (11) tables. Index copy
may be submitted at page proof stage, but plans for an index should be
indicated when manuscript is submitted.

Transcriber Note
The caption for Figure 4 was moved to the page that the figure is on.
The species _Graculavus pumilis_ appears to have been mistyped in three
locations as _Graculavus pumilus_ and were corrected.
