COMMENTS AND NEWS ANNUAL MEETING-NOTE CHANGE OF DATES

The Thirty·third Annual Meeting of the American Society of Mammalogists will be beld at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, June 15-19, 1953. not June 14-18, as originally scheduled. See February issue for schedule of room rates. The Di· rectors will meet June 15 at 8:00 P.M.; the general meeting will begin June 16, 8:30 A.M.

An interesting program is scheduled, and members are urged to attend and make this the best meeting yet. The local committee on arrangements consists of G. H. H. Tate (Chairman), H. E. Anthony, T. D. Carter, G. G. Goodwin, R. H. Pough, J. Tee·Van, and H. M. Van Deusen.

A PLEA FOR UNIFORMITY OF COMMON NAMES OF MAMMALS

The committee on nomenclature of this Society at the 32nd annual meeting suggested that a check list of English names of North American mammals be prepared. With the use of standard common names it should be possible to refer readily and surely to American mammals by English names as well as by Latin names. This should increase the layman's interest in and appreciation of mammals. Pity the person who is confronted with the names prairie meadow mouse, buff·breasted vole, yellow·bellied meadow mouse, and prairie vole, all for the small Microtus ochrogaster!

William H. Burt's recent Field Guide to the "Mammals, pages xvii-xxi, presents an ex. cellent list of common names for species of mammals occurring north of Mexico. I would recommend that mammalogists adopt, in total, these common names. Some of the names are not entirely appropriate, but it would be difficult to get more suitable names in moat instances. Names are at the species level only. The use of common names for subspecies has found disfavor currently among most vertebrate zoologists. Although this or any list will not satisfy everyone, it is the most satisfactory list of common names for most of our North American mammals. Let us adopt it, without change, as a standard.-DoNALD F. HOFFMEISTER, Museum of Natural History, Univer8ity of Illinois, Urbana.

OBITUARY NOTICE

Javier Ortiz de Ia Puente 1925--1952

Javier Ortiz de la Puente of Lima, Peru died on 18 October 1952, the victim of an auto accident. His jeep was struck by a bus, throwing bim out on the sidewalk.

He was born in Lima on April 15, 1928, the son of Javier Ortiz de la Puente and Isabel A. Denegri de la Puente. In 1948 he received his Bachelor's Degree from the University of San Marcos, Lima. He was married to Srta. Lucia Ludmann on February 18, 1952.

At a very early age he showed an interest in natural history, and at seven preferred animals to toys. His interest was born in him and not acquired. The summer of 1948 was spent at the Chicago Natural History Museum studying the Peruvian birds and mammals in the collection, and visits were made to museums in the ERst. It is remembreed that each time he received money from bome it was all spent immediately on books, cameras, and other equipment. The American Society of Mammalogists elected him to membership in 1950.

His first major work was an "Estudio Monografico de lOB Quiropteros de Lima y Alrededores," based mainly on the results of his own field work. In it are listed ten species of bats not previously known from Lima, including three new to Peru. He also had published a number of papers on Peruvian birds.

Both Peru and the field of natural history have suffered a major loss in his death. With his enthusiasm, education, and means to carryon, he was one of the few promising young naturalists in South America. We extended our sincere sympathy to his family and his colleagues.-CoLIN CAMPBELL SANBORN, Chicago Natural History Museum, Chicago 5, Illinois.

288 JOljR!\'AL OF l\IA1IMALOGY Vol. 3~, No. B

SUGGESTIONS TO AUTHORS The Journal of Mammalogy publisbes original papers with significant new content on any

phase of the science of mammalogy. While authors need not necessarily be members of the society, it is suggested that individuals publishing serious papers in this field should consider "arefully the desirability of associating themselves with the American Society of Mammalogists.

Papers are generally published in order of receipt with some exceptions at the discretion of the editor. Papers over twenty printed pages in length are rarely published because of costs and limitations of space. When partly subsidized, such papers may occasionally be published at the discretion of the editorial committee.

Photographic illustrations (half-tones) and tabular matter are strictly limited because of high costs of printing. Half-tones for decorative purposes, or interest only, will not be published; they should illustrate some point or fact, best shown in this way, and essential to the exposition of the paper. Tabular matter should contain data not rcpeated in text.

1. All manuscripts should be typewritten on white bond paper (872'n X lIn or8" X 1072'n) with all material, including titles, quotations, and literature cited, double spaced. All margins should be at least one and one-half inches wide and pages should be numbered at the upper right corner. Carbon copies will not be accepted, nor will originals on onion-skin paper.

2. Titles are best if short as an aid to bibliography. Ten words should ordinarily be a maximum and less will usually serve.

3. Acknowledgments are included in the text; footnotes are avoided. Xote the position for authors' names at the beginning and authors' addresses at the end of the article.

4. The bibliographic style used in recent Journal issues should be noted carefully and followed in "Literature Cited." In general, the bibliographic style will follow the suggestions made in the report of the A. 1. B. S. Publications Committee, the A. I. B. S. Bu!., 2 (2): 21-23. Fewer than six references should be inserted in parentheses in the text, giving author, publication, volume, paging, and year, but not title unless a book. See recent issues for style.

5. Tabular matter should be arranged as simply as possible to fit Journal page size. Note style and place for title of table in recent issues. It is not always necessary to present all data gathered. The author should exercise some judgment as t.o what data are essential or of general interest. Tables should be typed on separate sheets at the end of the paper and should not be placed in the running text.

6. Line drawings or graphs should not be made on excessively large sheets. While some reduction is desirable, an original drawing or graph twice the size of the intended cut is ample. Photographic copies of drawings or graphs may not reproduce as well as the original. The original is preferred by the editor. Large sheet.s are cumbersome to handle and ship, and increase postage costs. Labels must be planned to be easily legible when reduced. Lines must be solid black, not gray, to reproduce welL Graphs on cross section paper should be made on paper with pale blue lines.

7. Photographs for reproduction should be sharp, with high contrast, and printed on glossy paper. A size of 4" x 5" is ordinarily most easy to arrange. The editor prefers them unmounted. Each should be identified by a notation on the back, lightly in pencil. Legends should be typed as paragraphs. in sequence, on a separate sheet at the end of the article. It is often possible to crop photographs extensively to remove non-essential areas such as sky, foreground, background, etc.

8. A brief, concise, and informative summary is advisable at the end of the paper. 9. Proof should be read very carefully immediately upon receipt and returned promptly,

with manuscript, to the editor. While errors should be corrected, the galley proof is not the place for editorial changes by the author. Necessary changes afe best at the end of a paragraph, or as a new paragraph.

10. Arrangements for reprints are made by the author with Ihe publisher at time of receipt of proof. A form is supplied for ordering personal or institutional supplies of reprints. Fifty reprints, without covers, are supplied, free to the author of a major article. These may be obtained only if the author orders enough to bring the total number of reprints t.o 100.
