MANUSCRIPT LENGTH
ArticlesArticles do normally not exceed 50 published pages, includingﬁgures and/or tables, on either 21.5 by 28 cm (8 1/2 by 11 inch)or 21 by 29.6 cm (A4) paper and conforming to the type-size andmargin-width guidelines detailed below. For reference, about 3
manuscript pages yield 1 published page. Longer manuscripts,
or ones with an unusually large number of ﬁgures/tables, may beconsidered, but the editors should be consulted. An abstract of
300 or fewer words is required for articles.
Reviews
Authors should follow the instructions for submission ofarticles.
Reports
This includes miscellanies about museum activities and briefreports on fossil excavation, ﬁeld expeditions, and conferences.
The editors should be consulted. Authors should follow theinstructions for submission of articles, except that the text should
not exceed 30 published pages.
MANUSCRIPT FORM

All typescripts pages, including references, tables, appendices,and figure captions, must be double-spaced. Pages must benumbered, beginning with the title page. Leave at least 2.5 cm
margins on all sides of each page. Computer-printed manuscripts
must be in letter-quality type. Avoid small font sizes; 12-point
Times or 10-point Helvetica are appropriate, and the right margin
should not be justiﬁed. This combination of double-spacing andtype-size should yield approximately 24 lines per page.
Do not hyphenate words at the end of lines. Avoid capitalizing
whole words except in the title and primary headings (but see
Systematic Paleontology section). Some words or phrases inthe text can be printed in bold or italic type by the request of
the authors for the purpose of legibility if acknowledged by
the editors. All measurements should be given in metric units.
A number at the beginning of a sentence should be spelled
out. Spell out one through nine except with units of measure;numerals should be used for 10 and over unless they are used at
the beginning of a sentence. Use Fig(s)." for referring to ﬁguresin the text, otherwise FIGURE" in the figure captions andﬁg(s)." when referring to ﬁgures in another paper. Use TABLE"in a table heading.
Literature citations in the text should be given as: Andrews(1988:12-14), (Horwood, 1988: figs. 1, 2), (Gray and Sumida,
1986a, b; Barnes, 1987), or (Sano et al., 1985), the latter when thepaper has three or more authors. Include with your manuscripts
written permission from any individual whose work is cited asa personal communication ( ○ ○ , personal communication) if
that individual is not one of the authors of your manuscript. It ispreferable, however, not to cite unpublished material.
Sections on systematic paleontology should include, whereappropriate, synonymy, holotype or type species, hypodigm,occurrence or distribution, diagnosis, etymology (if a newtaxon), description, and discussion̶all as tertiary headings (seebelow).
All new taxa must be accompanied by a differential diagnosis.
Speciﬁc reference should be made to all illustrations.
Use underlining instead of italics for generic and specificnames.
Title Page
A brief, informative title should be provided in capital letters,and centered. Author s names and addresses should be given intitle pages. Provide key words and a short title for the running
head.

GeneralAuthor
The text of articles should be arranged in the following order:
title page, abstract, body of text (including acknowledgments
at end), references, tables, appendices, figure captions, andtable headings. Begin each of these sections on a new page.

Capitalize author s surnames and center them. Note the author
for correspondence when the paper has more than two authors.

Abstract
An abstract is required for all articles. It should not exceed
300 words for Articles, Reviews, and Reports. Include all newtaxonomic names for referencing purposes. Citations of literaturein the abstract are discouraged.
Key words in English
Preferably 8 words or less, but add some more words if necessary.
Headings
The Memoir of the Fukui Prefectural Dinosaur Museum uses
three levels of text headings. Primary headings in the text should
be in capital letters and centered; the following text should begin
on the next line, indented. Secondary headings should be incapital and lowercase letters and flush left; the following text
should begin on the next line, indented. Tertiary headings should
be in capital and lowercase letters and indented; the following
text should be on the same line and separated from the heading
by a dash, or begin on the next line, indented.

Examples are as follows:
Journal Articles ̶ Bennett, J. O., and I. M. Mead. Year. Article
title. Journal Name (spelled out in full) 00: 00-00.
Journal Articles ̶ Williams, A. B., L. A. Barnes, A. J. Readand C. D. Miller. Year. Article title. Journal Name (spelled outin full) 00: 00-000.
Books ̶ Bennett, J. O. Year. Book Title. Publisher, Place, 000
pp.
Articles in Books ̶ Barnes, D. B. Year. Article title; pp. 00-00
in D. O. Wilson and R. E. Bowen (eds.), Book Title. Publisher,Place.
Articles in Larger Works ̶ Bennett, J. O. Year. Article title;
pp. 00-00 in F. D. Alison (ed.), Title of Larger Work. Serial
Publication 00.
Dissertations and theses ̶ Bennett, J. O. Year. Dissertation
title. Ph. D. dissertation, University, Place, 000 pp.
TablesAll tables must be numbered consecutively using arabic
numerals. They generally should be comprehensible without
reference to the text. Use TABLE" in a table heading.

Systematic Paleontology

Illustrations

This heading is treated as a primary. Include taxon authornames and dates here and in the references. This applies toall cited ranks regardless of level. Center taxonomic ranks asfollows:

Figures must be numbered in the same sequence that they
appear in the text. They generally should be comprehensible
without reference to the text. Use FIGURE" in the figurecaptions. Separate illustrations of a composite ﬁgure should beidentified by capital letters (usually approximately 3 mm highwhen published); where possible, letters should be placed in thelower right corner of each illustration of a composite ﬁgure.
All illustrations must be submitted camera-ready for copying.
Oversize illustrations should be reduced photographically topublication size. The illustrations should be prepared so thatthe ﬁgure, if reduced, will ﬁll the whole page width (175 mm),or the column width (82 mm), and will be no longer thanthe maximum page length (222 mm). Final size of letteringmust be taken into consideration. Illustrations in which
magniﬁcation is of consequence must include scale bars; listingof magniﬁcations/reductions in the captions is not unacceptable
but undesirable. Measurements must be in metric units.
High-quality color illustrations can be printed, but the cost forcolor illustrations would be borne by the author in some cases;
consult editors.
The author should mark the desired position of each figure
and table in the right margin of typescript pages, though it is notalways possible to follow all the author s instructions. Originalillustrations should be retained by the author until the manuscript
is accepted. Review copies must be of high-quality photocopies.

SYSTEMATIC PALEONTOLOGYClass MAMMALIA Linnaeus, 1758

Authors may decide which taxonomic ranks above the level offamily to include, but it is preferable to include taxonomic ranks
above the level of order to make it easy for readers to understandthe systematic position of the specimen discussed.
New taxa are listed as: gen. nov. and sp. nov.
References
Double-space all entries. All citations and taxonomic
authorities, including those in ﬁgure captions (or within ﬁgures)and tables, must be included in the References. The References
section should be arranged strictly alphabetically according to theauthor s names. Do not use dashes to indicate repeated name ofan author. Include only papers mentioned in the text of the paper.
Do not abbreviate the titles of the journals.
