AMBROSE, Meetings Convener CHESTER BEATTY RESEARCH INSTITUTE FULHAM ROAD, LONDON, SW3 Tel: Flaxman 8133 JOURNAL OF THE MARINE BIOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM THE ASSOCIATION was founded in 1884 to promote accurate researches leading to the advancement of zoological and botanical science and to an increase in our knowledge of the food, life, conditions, and habits of British fishes. The work of the Association is carried out at their laboratory at Plymouth, where a rich and varied fauna is to be found. The journal contains records of the work done at the laboratory, together with articles on original research in marine biology, physiology, and allied subjects from other research establishments in the British Isles and overseas. The journal is issued three times a year, in February, June, and October. The subscription price is 11 per volume, post free; single parts 8O.y., plus postage. Orders may be placed with your bookseller or sent direct to the publishers: CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS BENTLEY HOUSE : 200 EUSTON ROAD : LONDON, N.W.I Jnl. ofcellsci., Vol. l,no. 2 (i)

2 The Journal of General Microbiology Editors: B. C. J. G. KNIGHT AND A. F. B. STANDFAST The Journal of General Microbiology is conducted by the Society for General Microbiology, whose aim is to promote the advancement of microbiology by providing a common meeting-ground for those working in all the various specialized fields, including, for example, medical, veterinary, agricultural and economic microbiology. The Society is concerned with the more fundamental aspects of the study of bacteria, viruses, micro-fungi, protozoa and microscopic algae in their various biological activities, its members being united by the common aim of developing scientific knowledge concerning micro-organisms. The subscription rate is 5 net per volume of 3 parts. Single parts 45s. each, plus postage. Four volumes will be issued each year. Orders should be sent to CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS BENTLEY HOUSE, 200 EUSTON ROAD, LONDON, N.W.I THE JOURNAL OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY Edited by V. B. WIGGLESWORTH AND J. A. RAMSAY f[ The official medium for the publications of the Society for Experimental Biology, including articles on experimental biology and comparative physiology, whether zoological or botanical. f The Society is affiliated to the Biological Council and the Journal is included in the Council's 'Contents Lists' service. ff The subscription rate is 4 net per volume of 3 parts (2 volumes a year).

V.BUTLER 'Professor Butler has once again scored an overwhelming success with the production of his latest book.' Eugenics Review 'The range covered is enormous, extending from elementary chemistry to the working of the brain Non-essentials have been trimmed away and the essentials of even rather abstruse concepts described in a manner which should certainly be comprehensible to anybody who has studied any aspect of science.'

ALLEN & UNWIN THE MICROSTRUCTURE OF CELLS An Introduction for Sixth Forms STEPHEN HURRY, M.A. St Paul's School 'This splendidly illustrated monograph is manifestly designed to provide the aspiring biologist with the most up-to-date conception of the cell that it is possible for him to have...the author has clearly been at pains to get hold of the best prints available in every case and the publishers are to be congratulated on reproducing them large and bold enough for the student to suffer little confusion about just what is being illustrated. There is no doubt that other books of this standard can do much to give scientific education the new look it so badly needs.' New Scientist 'Both the author and the publisher are to be complimented on the clarity of the photographs which have been carefully chosen to illustrate the features mentioned in the concise text.'

5 a name to keep your eye on The DIAMAX is a quality microscope. In (ts simplest form it is the ideal instrument for student use, and an economical purchase. But the precision and quality are there, inherent in the basic design and construction, so that by adding various accessory units the DIAMAX can become, at any lime, a high-quality precision microscope equal to the most exacting demands of the research specialist... if you want a microscope for research you want the best. >l you want microscopes for classwork you still want the best; consider these DIAMAX features AUTOFOCUS Specimens can be changed and brought into focus without even looking. VERSATILITY Any one of four standard viewing heads may be fitted, plus units lor double-demonsuation and photo-micrography. OPTICAL RANGE Achromatic, apochromatic, flatfield aplanar and reflecting objectives to satisfy every need. ILLUMINATION TECHNIQUES Simple integral iiiummanis, Kohler, darkfield. polarising, phase contrast, fluorescence and incident illumination. ECONOMY You buy no more than you need the basic instrument plus the accessory units you require yet you always buy quality and precision the features that are found in every DIAMAX.

7 INFORMATION FOR CONTRIBUTORS 1 Manuscripts should be sent to The Editors, Journal of Cell Science, Department of Zoology, Cambridge, England. 2 Manuscripts must be typewritten, in double spacing throughout (including tables, references and legends). Each table should be typed on a separate sheet. Legends to figures should be typed in a single series and placed at the end of the manuscript. Papers must be fully corrected by the author, and a charge will be made for excessive alteration in proof. 3 Authors should supply a postal address to be printed after their names. 4 A short title of not more than 50 characters, for use as page headings, should be supplied if the full title is longer than this. 5 Manuscripts must be accompanied by a Summary of not more than 500 words, and three copies of an Abstract for distribution to abstracting journals. The abstract must be not more than 100 words long and should be headed by the author's name and address and the title of the paper. Both summary and abstract must be intelligible without reference to the main text. 6 The list of References must be given in alphabetical order of authors' names. The titles of journals should be abbreviated in accordance with the WorldList of Scientific Periodicals, 4th ed. (1963). The following style is used: BARNICOT, N. A. & HUXLEY, H. E. (1965). Electron microscope observations on mitotic chromosomes. Q. Jl microsc. Set. 106, MAZIA, D. (1961). Mitosis and the physiology of cell division. In The Cell, vol. 3 (ed. J. Brachet & A. E. Mirsky), pp New York and London: Academic Press. Authors may, if they wish, omit titles of papers. Citations in the text are given in the following form: Jones & Smith (i960) or (Jones & Smith, i960). Where there are more than two authors the first citation should include all the names and subsequent citations should be in the form (Jones et al., i960). Where more than one paper by the same author(s) have been published in the same year they are cited as Jones (1960a), Jones (19606) etc. 7 Text figures should preferably be drawn about twice final size; very large drawings should be avoided. Photographic reproductions of drawings cannot always be satisfactorily reproduced. The maximum printed size of a drawing is 5 in. by 8 in. Lettering will be inserted by the printers and should be indicated on drawings in faint blue pencil or on a tracing-paper overlay. It should be in lower case, and abbreviations should not be used if there is space for complete words. 8 Photographs should preferably be submitted the same size as they are to appear. The maximum area for a plate is 5J in. by 8J in. Where several photographs make up a plate they should be accurately mounted on one sheet of cardboard. Irregularly shaped photographs or plates should be avoided wherever possible. Lettering on plates will be inserted by the printers and should be indicated either on a tracing-paper overlay bearing outlines of the objects indicated, or else on a duplicate, marked set of prints. 9 Text figures and photographs should be numbered in a single series, all text figures preceding the photographs. Each individual drawing or photograph should be numbered separately (Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and so on), unless a number of illustrations form a closely related series, when they may be numbered Fig. IA, IB, etc. 10 Where appropriate the magnifications of illustrations should be indicated by scales drawn on them. Magnifications may also be stated in the legends. 11 Authors will receive 50 offprints free of charge and may order additional copies when proofs are returned.
