SERIAL PUBLICATIONS OF THE SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION

Emphasis upon publication as a means of “diffusing knowledge” was expressed by the first Secretary of the Smithsonian. In his formal plan for the Institution, Joseph Henry outlined a program that included the following statement: “It is proposed to publish a series of reports, giving an account of the new discoveries in science, and of the changes made from year to year in all branches of knowledge.” This theme of basic research has been adhered to through the years by thousands of titles issued in series publications under the Smithsonian imprint, commencing with Smithsonian Contributions to Knowledge in 1848 and continuing with the following active series:

Smithsonian Contributions to Anthropology

Smithsonian Contributions to Astrophysics

Smithsonian Contributions to Botany

Smithsonian Contributions to the Earth Sciences

Smithsonian Contributions to the Marine Sciences

Smithsonian Contributions to Paleobiology

Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology

Smithsonian Folklife Studies

Smithsonian Studies in Air and Space

Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology

In these series, the Institution publishes small papers and full-scale monographs that report the research and collections of its various museums and bureaux or of professional colleagues in the world of science and scholarship. The publications are distributed by mailing lists to libraries, universities, and similar institutions throughout the world.

Papers or monographs submitted for series publication are received by the Smithsonian Institution Press, subject to its own review for format and style, only through departments of the various Smithsonian museums or bureaux, where the manuscripts are given substantive review. Press requirements for manuscript and art preparation are outlined on the inside back cover.

Introduction

This report is based on the Stomatopoda collected during the voyage of the Danish vessel Galathea around the world between 1950 and 1952. Station data for the collections of the Galathea have been given by Bruun (1959), who listed the stations from below 400 meters, and by Wolff (1964), who provided data for the shallower stations. Five West African species taken by the Galathea, Eurysquilla galatheae Manning, 1977, Lysiosquilla hoevenii (Herklots, 1851), Nannosquilloides occultus (Giesbrecht, 1910), Protosquilla calypso Manning, 1974, and Rissoides africanus (Manning, 1974), were reported by Manning (1977), and the single Eastern Pacific species taken by the expedition, Squilla biformis Bigelow, 1891, was reported by Manning (1974b).

The majority of the stomatopods collected by the Galathea were taken in depths shallower than 400 meters. Only two species, Heterosquilloides insignis (Kemp, 1911) from 445 to 460 meters and Squilla biformis Bigelow, 1891, from 450 to 500 meters, were taken with certainty from below 400 meters. One specimen of the shallow-water Austrosquilla vercoi (Hale, 1924), was labelled as having been collected in 875 or 950 meters, but the station data accompanying the specimen are certainly erroneous.

The measurement given after the number of specimens taken at each station is total length (TL) in millimeters (mm), measured from the anterior edge of the rostral plate to a line drawn between the apices of the submedian spines of the telson. In the “Material” section, meters is abbreviated to m. Data given for each station are from the station data in Wolff (1964); if the depth on the specimen label is different, it, too, is given. All specimens are in the collections of the Zoological Museum, Copenhagen. Coordinates added by me are enclosed in parentheses and are from gazetteers of the United States Board on Geographic Names.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS.—I thank Torben Wolff and Poul Chr. Jeppesen, Zoological Museum, Copenhagen, for much help during the course of this study.

A visit to the Zoological Museum in 1988 was supported by the Suzanne Liebers Erickson Exchange Program of the Smithsonian Institution. This research also was supported in part by the Smithsonian through the Scholarly Studies Program and former Secretary S. Dillon Ripley’s Fluid Research Fund; that support is gratefully acknowledged.

FIGURE 2.—Bathysquilla crassispinosa (Fukuda, 1909); larva, TL 40 mm, sta 200: a, carapace; b, raptorial claw; c, sixth abdominal somite, telson, and uropods; d, uropod; e, uropod, ventral view.

MATERIAL.—Sta 200, off Natal, South Africa, 29°39′S, 37°01′E, dip net at lantern light in about 5000 m, 18 Feb 1951: 1 larva, 40 mm.

REMARKS.—This is the first record of the larva of a bathysquillid. The presence of four pairs of marginal teeth on the telson and the pectinate propodus of the raptorial claw allow its identification as a bathysquillid. The specimen has the broad telson characteristic of Bathysquilla rather than the elongate telson found in Indosquilla. It is identified with B. crassispinosa as that is the only member of the genus known to occur in the area as an adult.

The specimen is a late larva, probably in the last pelagic larval stage preceding the molt to postlarva; the buds of the copulatory tubes are present. Among the features shown by this specimen are two dorsal spines on the carpus of the claw, the proximal very small, nine teeth on the dactylus of the claw, only one exposed thoracic somite, and an unsegmented uropodal exopod. Adults of B. crassispinosa have 9 to 11 teeth on the claw.

Perhaps the most striking feature of this specimen is the unsegmented uropodal exopod, a characteristic of the fossil family Sculdidae (see Manning, Kropp, and Dominguez, 1990), which possibly strengthens the hypothesis that the bathysquillids comprise a very old stock of stomatopods. However, in at least some stomatopod larvae the uropodal exopod is unsegmented in the last larval stage, as shown by the last larva of the lysiosquillid Heterosquilla tricarinata (Claus, 1871) (Greenwood and Williams, 1984, fig. 4P). In the last larval stage of squillids the uropodal exopod also may be unsegmented or the two segments are separated by an indistinct suture, as shown by Alikunhi (1952) for various species.

The original account of this species was published by Fukuda in Japanese in 1909, not in 1910 as often cited; the 1910 version is an English translation of the original account.

DISTRIBUTION.—Indo-West Pacific, from scattered localities between Japan and South Africa, including Madagascar (Manning, Kropp, and Dominguez, 1990) and in the Coral Sea, off Australia (Bruce, 1988); in slope depths between about 200 and about 400 (350–420) meters.

Gonodactylus chiragra.—Kemp, 1913:155, fig. 2, pl. 9: fig. 107.

MATERIAL.—Sta 415, Tubajon Bay, Philippines, 10°20′N, 125°32′E, coral reef, tidal zone; 17–19 Jul 1951: 4, 26–83 mm (1, 26 mm, in gastropod shell).

REMARKS.—This species was taken with G. mutatus and G. viridis at sta 415.

DISTRIBUTION.—Apparently this species is widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific region, but most records require verification; shore.

Gonodactylus falcatus (Forskål, 1775)

Cancer falcatus Forskål, 1775:96.

Gonodactylus falcatus.—Manning, 1978a:4, figs. 1, 2a, 9.—Moosa, 1984:39.—Manning and Lewinsohn, 1986:7.—Moosa. 1989:224.

MATERIAL.—Sta 255, Mombasa, Kenya, 4°05′S, 39°41′E, coral reef, 0 m, 22 Mar 1951: 1, 37 mm.

REMARKS.—This specimen has a median tubercle on the sixth abdominal somite, sharp central carinae on the telson, and a bilobed knob. It is clearly referable to G. falcatus.

This is the second record for this species in the Indian Ocean outside of the Red Sea proper and indicates that this species can be expected to occur elsewhere in the western Indian Ocean. Moosa (1984) reported it from Mauritius.

Moosa (1989) also reported this species from Japan, but as broad distibution patterns in this group of species appear to be the exception rather than the rule (Manning and Lewinsohn, 1986:9), his range extension for this species must be accepted with caution.

This species was taken with G. smithii at sta 255.

DISTRIBUTION.—Western Indian Ocean, from Mombasa, Kenya, Mauritius, the Red Sea, and, possibly, in the Pacific, from Japan; shore.

Gonodactylus incipiens Lanchester, 1903

Gonodactylus childi Manning, 1971:75, fig. 1 [new synonymy].

MATERIAL.—Sta 682, Makaha’a at Nukualofa, Tonga Islands, 21°07′S, 175°10′W, 0.5–1 m, coral reef, 8 Mar 1952: 1, 20 mm.

REMARKS.—Gonodactylus incipiens is one of the most common shore stomatopods in the central Pacific and, like G. affinis De Man, 1902, shows a wide range of variation in surface sculpture of the telson (see Moosa and Cleva, 1984a, fig. 2).

Gonodactylus childi Manning, 1971, originally described from Enewetak Atoll, is a synonym of G. incipiens. A second, similar species also described from Enewetak, Gonodactylus micronesica Mannning (1971:77, fig. 2) is a distinct species that lives in deeper water, 100 ft (about 30 m) as opposed to shore, and that has much longer accessory median carinae on the telson. In G. micronesica the accessory median carinae extend anteriorly beyond the posterior slope of the anterior submedian carinae; in G. incipiens they barely reach the posterior edge of the anterior submedian carinae.

DISTRIBUTION.—Known with certainty from several localities in the central Pacific, including Guam, Enewetak, the Ellice Islands, the Tuamotu Archipelago, and Australia, and in the Indian Ocean from Sri Lanka; shore.

FIGURE 3.—Gonodactylus incipiens Lanchester, 1903; male, TL 20 mm, sta 682: a, rostral plate and ocular scales; b, lateral processes of sixth and seventh thoracic somites, right side; c, sixth abdominal somite, telson, and uropod; d, submedian teeth of telson, ventral view; e, uropod, ventral view.

MATERIAL.—Sta 255, Mombasa, Kenya, 4°05′S, 39°41′E, coral reef, 0 m, 22 Mar 1951: 1, 32 mm.

REMARKS.—This specimen lacks the sharp, spiniform anterolateral angles of the rostral plate characteristic of G. acutirostris De Man, 1898 (see Manning and Lewinsohn, 1986, fig. 2a), and so is herein referred to G. smithii. Both species occur in the western Indian Ocean.

This species was taken with G. falcatus at sta 255.

DISTRIBUTION.—Western Indian Ocean to Vietnam, Indonesia, and Australia; shore.

Superfamily LYSIOSQUILLOIDEA Giesbrecht, 1910

Family LYSIOSQUILLIDAE Giesbrecht, 1910

LYSIOSQUILLINAE Giesbrecht, 1910:148.

Acaenosquilla, new genus

DEFINITION.—A lysiosquillid of moderate to large size, maximum length about 100 mm. Cornea bilobed. Rostral plate broader than long, with subapical ventral keel fitting between separate ocular scales. Antennal protopod with 1 ventral papilla. Claw with 6 or 7 (usually 6) teeth on dactylus and 4 movable teeth on propodus. Mandibular palp and 5 epipods present. Telson with 3-spined median elevation and 3 pairs of dorsal carinae; marginal armature consisting of row of small submedian denticles, 1 movable submedian tooth, 4 intermediate denticles, 1 intermediate tooth, 1 lateral denticle, and 1 lateral tooth. Ventral surface of telson with strong postanal tooth. Uropodal endopod lacking strong proximal fold on outer margin.

TYPE SPECIES.—Lysiosquilla latifrons De Haan, 1844 (Figure 4). The genus includes Acaenosquilla latifrons from Japan and A. brazieri (Miers, 1880) from Australia and New Zealand (see accounts of these species in Stephenson, 1962:38, 39).

ETYMOLOGY.—From the Greek, akaina (thorn) and the generic name Squilla, alluding to the postanal spine present in members of the genus. The gender is feminine.

REMARKS.—The combination of the ventrally-keeled rostral plate and the postanal spine will distinguish this genus from all other genera in the family.

Heterosquilloides insuetus Manning (1970b:81, fig. 2) from Australia and H. philippinensis Moosa (1986:386, fig. 5) from the Philippines also have a strong postanal spine but both species lack the ventral keel on the rostral plate and the antennal papillae; both species have a longer rostral plate and more dorsal spines on the telson. They should be referred to a new genus.

Acaenosquilla brazieri (Miers, 1880), new combination

Lysiosquilla Brazieri Miers, 1880:11, 125, pl. 1: figs. 3–6.

Heterosquilla (Heterosquilloides) brazieri.—Manning, 1966:125.

MATERIAL.—Sta 539, Coral Sea, 26°33′S, 153°31′E, 55 m (86 m on label), gravel, 5 Nov 1951: 1, 23 mm.

REMARKS.—This small specimen is in very poor condition. The carinae that flank the median prominence of the telson in adults are not visible. There are 6 teeth on the claw, the penultimate smaller than the antepenultimate. The uropodal exopod has 6 outer spines and 7 inner stiff setae distally on the proximal segment.

DISTRIBUTION.—Previously recorded from localities in Australia and New Zealand; sublittoral, in depths of less than 100 meters.

Heterosquilloides insignis.—Moosa, 1986:386, pl. 1: fig. c.

MATERIAL.—Sta 196, off Durban, South Africa, 29°55′S, 30°20′E, 445–460 m, sandy mud, 13–14 Feb 1951: 1, 42 mm.

REMARKS.—I can see no differences between H. zarenkovi Makarov from Vietnam and H. insignis, which has been recorded from the Philippines by Moosa (1986), so I consider Makarov’s species to be a synonym of the latter. Even the sculpture of the telson in Makarov’s species appears to be identical with that shown here.

Heterosquilla (Austrosquilla) vercoi.—Manning, 1966:130, fig. 10.

FIGURE 7.—Austrosquilla vercoi (Hale, 1924); female, TL 22 mm, sta 555: a, front; b, sixth abdominal somite, telson, and uropod.

MATERIAL.—Sta 555, Great Australian Bight, 37°31′S, 138°44′E, 875 m (950 m on label), sand, a little clay, 6 Dec 1951: 1, 22 mm.

REMARKS.—This small specimen is clearly referable to A. vercoi but differs from adults in several features: the eye is broader, the antennal papillae are scarcely visible, the rostral spine is longer, the distal segment of the uropodal exopod is longer, and there are fewer stiff setae on the inner margin of the proximal segment of the uropodal exopod.

This species generally occurs in shallow water. The label data for both locality and depth certainly are erroneous.

Clorida gaillardi Moosa, 1986

FIGURE 8

Clorida gaillardi Moosa, 1986:396, fig. 9.

MATERIAL.—Sta 380, off Kerteh, Trengganu, Malaysia, 04°43′N, 103°43′E, 48 m, 7 Jun 1951: 1, 41 mm.

REMARKS.—This specimen agrees well with the original account of this species by Moosa. This species could easily be confused with Clorida latreillei (Eydoux and Souleyet, 1842), also taken by the Galathea, but differs in having a much larger lateral process on the fifth thoracic somite, more spines on abdominal carinae, less ornamentation on the telson, and a larger lobe between the spines of the basal prolongation of the uropod.

Clorida gaillardi was taken with C. verrucosa at sta 380.

DISTRIBUTION.—Previously known only from the Philippines and now from Malaysia; sublittoral, in 36–37 and 41 meters.

Clorida latreillei (Eydoux and Souleyet, 1842)

Clorida latreillei Eydoux and Souleyet, 1842:265, pl. 5: figs. 2–5.

Squilla latreillei.—Kemp. 1913:24, pl. 1: figs. 1–4.

Clorida javanica Moosa, 1974:76, figs. 2, 3 [new synonymy].

MATERIAL.—Sta 225, Bay at Cape Diego (12°15′N, 49°20′E), Diego Suarez, Madagascar, 6–8 m, sand with mud and stones, 3 Mar 1951: 1, 57 mm.

REMARKS.—I believe that the features of Clorida javanica Moosa fall within the range of variation of characters of C. latreillei and that these taxa are synonymous. Moosa (1974:79) noted that C. javanica keyed out to C. latreillei in the key given by Manning (1968a:4–5). He also noted that C. javanica differed from C. latreillei in several features, as follows: the shape of the lateral process of the fifth thoracic somite; the lack of spines on the marginal carinae of the abdomen, except for that on the fifth somite; the absence of a postanal keel; and the color pattern.

The shape of the lateral process of the fifth thoracic somite and the numbers of spined marginal carinae on the abdomen are both variable features; the latter may differ from side to side in this species. Color pattern in preserved specimens may also be variable and is dependent at least in part on method of preservation.

This leaves the presence or absence of a postanal keel as the main character separating these two species. When present, the keel may be well developed and rather long or it may be low and short (Manning, 1969a:8). Numerous features of members of Clorida have proven to be variable, including presence or absence of a structure within a given species (see below, under C. verrucosa), and variability may be the rule rather than the exception in Clorida.

DISTRIBUTION.—Widely distributed in the Indo-West Pacific, from the western Indian Ocean to Japan; sublittoral.

Sta 381 IX, Gulf of Thailand, 7°00′N, 103°18′E, 55 m, mud, a little sand and shells, 8 Jun 1951: 1, 17 mm.

REMARKS.—These three specimens exhibit so much variability in characters that until now were considered to be diagnostic in members of this genus that I am convinced that Clorida verrucosa and Clorida merguiensis are synonyms. The two smaller specimens lack a mandibular palp, but it is clearly present in the larger female, as reported by Makarov (1979) in material from the Bay of Tonkin. The rostral carina is absent in two specimens, present in the male from the Gulf of Thailand. The postanal keel is well developed in the larger specimen, indistinct in the smaller ones. The larger specimen lacks submedian abdominal carinae, but they are present on the fifth and sixth somites in the adult male from sta 381 IX. The submedian carinae are spined only on the sixth somite in all specimens. I can find no characters that can be used to separate C. merguiensis from C. verrucosa.

Clorida verrucosa was taken with C. gaillardi at sta 380.

DISTRIBUTION.—Indo-West Pacific, from Malaya, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, and the Gulf of Siam in the Pacific, and from the Mergui Archipelago and southern India in the Indian Ocean; sublittoral, in depths between 13–31 and 70–140 meters.

MATERIAL.—Sta 454, Java Sea, 05°23′S, 116°02′E, 60 m, coral-clay, 25 Aug 1951: 1 damaged, carapace length 6.4 mm.

REMARKS.—In his account of this species, Kemp (1913:38) reported on material from Burma, pointed out differences between that material and Brooks’ original description, and suggested that his Burmese specimens might belong to a distinct species. The differences discussed by Kemp included the apparent lack of a distal spine on the basal segment of the uropods and the presence of more spines on the abdominal carinae in Brooks’ material. Blumstein (1970) considered material from the Gulf of Tonkin to be conspecific with Kemp’s material from Burma and subspecifically distinct from Brooks’ species.

I examined the types of Squilla lata Brooks at The Natural History Museum, London (formerly British Museum (Natural History)), a male TL 74 mm (Figure 12) and a female TL 75 mm. The differences pointed out by Kemp are due to errors in Brooks’ original account. The types have a distinct distal spine on the basal segment of the uropod (not illustrated here), and have the following abdominal carinae armed with spines: submedian 6, intermediate 3–6, lateral 2–6, and marginal 1–5.

I consider Squilloides latus spinosus Blumstein, 1970 to be a synonym of Leniquilla lata (Brooks, 1886). Moosa (1986:404) already pointed out that Squilloides espinosus Blumstein, 1974, is based on a juvenile of Lenisquilla lata.

The synonymy given under the first reference to Lophosquilla tiwarii in Moosa and Cleva (1984b) makes it clear that they were dealing with Lenisquilla lata.

Lenisquilla lata was taken with Acanthosquilla derijardi at Sta 454.

Stomatopoda from Depths Greater than 400 Meters

Records of stomatopods reported from depths exceeding 400 meters that I have been able to find are summarized below. The depth of 400 meters is not considered to be any kind of natural boundary but was chosen to match the depth selected by the editors of the Galathea Reports as the upper limit of the deep-sea fauna (see Wolff, 1964).

Not included here are Chopra’s (1939) records of Gonodactylus chiragra (Fabricius, 1781) and Natosquilla investigatoris (Lloyd, 1907) from 1295 meters and the record given above of Austrosquilla vercoi from 875 meters, as both of these depths are well beyond the known depth ranges of these species. Gonodactylus chiragra and A. vercoi are both shore species and N. investigatoris is a pelagic species (Losse and Merrett, 1971).

The depth given in brackets following the species name is the overall depth range of the species.

DISCUSSION.—Only 17 of about 400 species of Stomatopoda (see Reaka and Manning, 1986) are known to occur in depths exceeding 400 meters, but 13 of the 17 have been taken in depths of less than 400 meters; most of the 17 species are sublittoral species that frequent the outer shelf and upper slope. All four bathysquillids have been taken in depths of more than 400 meters, but even one of these, B. crassispinosa, occurs in shallower water, too.

At the family level, representatives of only 6 of the 13 recognized families have been taken in more than 400 meters, the shore-dwelling gonodactylids, protosquillids, and nannosquillids being conspicuously absent from slope habitats. Other than the bathysquillids, 2 of 25 eurysquillids (8%), 1 of 26 lysiosquillids (4%), 1 of 5 odontodactylids (20%), 1 of 20 pseudosquillids (5%), and 8 of 149 squillids (5%) have been found in more than 400 meters. The low numbers of species living in such deep waters is reflected also at the generic level. Whereas all three bathysquillid genera (100%) are represented in these deep habitats, only 1 of 5 eurysquillid genera (20%), 1 of 5 lysiosquillid genera (20%), 1 of 4 pseudosquillid genera (25%), and 4 of 27 squillid genera (15%) even occur there. As one species of Odontodactylus has been taken below 400 meters, 100% of odontodactylid genera are found there.

There appears to be no clear geographic pattern to the occurrence of stomatopods in outer slope habitats. Only 1 of 30 eastern Atlantic (3%), 5 of 77 western Atlantic (6%), 1 of 50 eastern Pacific (2%), and 11 of about 250 Indo-West Pacific (4%) species occur in such depths, reflecting the shallow-water characteristics of the group.

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 All 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.
