Bibliographical references are to be identified by citing the authors' names, followed, in parentheses, by the date of publication, with a page number if desired. All citations must have a corresponding entry in the reference list. The typical format for arrangement of systematic paleontology can be learned from current issues of the Journal. All descriptions of new taxa must include a diagnosis, and, as appropriate, stratigraphic and geographic indicators, designation of a type or types, depository information, and specification of illustrations. In synonymies use an abbreviated form of the reference, consisting only of authors of reference, date of publication, and number of pages, plates, figures and text-figures referring to the organism or organisms in question.
Entries are to be listed alphabetically.
No abbreviations will be used in article and book titles. Journal titles are written out, not abbreviated. Figure captions are to be typed separately. Originals should not be smaller than the final intended size for printing. No foldouts will be accepted.
