COLOUR ILLUSTRATIONS
In recent years it has become more common for authors to submit illustrations in colour with their manuscript. Until now the Publisher and the Journal Editor have considered such submissions on an ad hoc basis. We feel it is timely to formulate the following policy on this. Illustrations in colour will be accepted where the use of colours is essential for the presentation. The decision on this rests with the Editor. The Publisher and the Author will each bear part of the extra costs involved. These arise from (a) the need to prepare colour-separated printing films by means of scanning the original colour figures ("figure processing costs"), and (b) the need to print four colours ("printing costs"). The "figure processing costs" are typically on a per figure basis (for exceptions see below). "Printing costs" are independent of the number of colour illustrations per page, but are dependent on the number of pages containing colour figures. Authors will be billed in Dutch Guilders (Dfl.) according to the following rates (the US$ rates in parentheses are for your guidance only; an exchange rate of I US$ =Dfl. 2.40 has been assumed): Number of pages
Printing costs (total)
Figure processing costs (rate per figure)

Dfl. 1200 (US$ 500) Dfl. 1400 (US$ 583) Dfl. 1600 (US$ 667) Dfl. 1800(US$ 750) Dfl. 2000 (US$ 833) Dfl. 2200 (US$ 917) Dfl. 2400 (US$1000) Dfl. 2600 (US$1083)

Where combined scanning can be used, the cost is reduced by 15% (if two figures are combined) up to more than 50% (if eight figures are combined). These lower rates apply only if: (a) the various colour intensities of the figures are such that combined scanning produces acceptable results; (b) the reduction factor is exactly the same for each figure; (c) two or more illustrations are printed together on one page. Authors' requests for combined figures will be assessed and price quotations provided by the Publisher. For computer colour prints involving no more than four colours and no differentiation of shades, no "figure processing costs" will be charged if colour-separated originals are submitted. On each such original, register marks must be clearly indicated so as to ensure exact positioning of each colour when printing. Authors will be notified whether their colourseparated originals are suitable and the "figure processing costs" charges can be waived. There will be no additional charge for reprints containing colour illustrations. Colour illustrations should be submitted as original colour photographs, transparencies, or 35 mm slides. Polaroid colour prints are not suitable. Please submit colour photographs and transparencies close to the size expected in publication. It should be noted that, in some instances, printing requirements will prevent figures from being located in the most desirable position in the text. THE EDITORS THE PUBLISHER
