Illustrations. Photographs should be selected only to illustrate something that cannot adequately be displayed in any other manner. Colour figures can be included. Number figures consecutively using Arabic numbers [Figure 1, 2, etc: subdivide by (a), (b), etc.], in order of their mention in the text.

Authors should check that all citations in the text are in the list of references and vice versa, and that their dates match.
