Notice to contributorsThe British Journal of Industrial Medicine is intendedfor the publication of original contributions relevant tooccupational and environmental medicine, includingfundamental toxicological studies of industrial and ag-ricultural chemicals. Short papers relating to particularexperience in occupational medicine may be submitted.Ethical considerations will be taken into account whena paper is considered for publication.

Notes and miscellanea will deal with brief observa-tions relevant to industrial medicine which do notwarrant a full paper, such as individual case histories,preliminary reports or modifications to analyticalmethods. Extended book reviews may also be included.

All papers submitted for publication should be referredto The Editor, British Journal of Industrial Medicine,Nuffield Department of Industrial Health, 21 ClaremontPlace, The University, Newcastle upon Tyne NE2 4AA.

Papers are accepted on the understanding that theyare contributed solely to this Journal, and that they aresubject to editorial revision. Papers should be prefacedby an abstract of the argument and findings; this abstractshould be more comprehensive than a summary, whichwill not be required. Papers must be typewritten on oneside of the paper only, in double spacing, and with awide margin. SI units must be used throughout (Baron etal., Journal of Clinical Pathology, 27, 590). Photographsand photomicrographs should be printed on glossypaper and should be unmarked. Charts and graphsaccompanying papers should be carefully drawn in blackink on tracing linen or Bristol board or stout, smooth,white paper; any lettering should be lightly inserted inpencil.
