Sketch-maps should be sent to accompany articles, if necessary; they should be clearly drawn in Indian ink. Photographs for publication should be half-plate size or larger, printed on glossy bromide paper, and should show as much contrast as possible.

Members who have given permanent addresses in India, and who expect to be in England in April or May 1938, should send their home addresses to the Honorary Editor. Members are asked to check their initials and the entries against their names in the Annual List of Members, and to send any corrections to the Honorary Secretary. Responsibility for non-delivery of the Journal cannot be accepted if change of address is not notified. Considerable expense is caused to the Club in readdressing Journals returned through the post.
