The text should ideally contain: Introduction, Materials

gree C as °C). Figures: Tables and Figures (including pho-

explained in the caption (not as:.. see text). In Tables the tab-

and numbering will be added by the printer’s computer. Pho-
tographs in black and white or colour plates must be supplied
as dias (6cm x 6cm) or glossy prints, not larger than A4 in
size.
In the text, references should not be cited by numbering,
but as Joensen (1963), or when more convenient as (Joensen,
1963). More than one reference should be written as Joensen
(1963; 1970), or (Joensen, 1963; 1970), or (Svabo, 1783;
Joensen, 1963). References to specific pages should be giv-
en as (Joensen, 1963: 123-134). Two authors should be re-
ferred as (Joensen and Táning, 1970) and more than two au-
thors as (Enckell et al., 1986). See below for references writ-
