10. TABLES.Type each table on a separate page with all lines double-spaced.Number tables consecutively with arabic numbers and supply brief titles. Give each column a short heading.

Omit internal horizontal and vertical lines.Cite each table in the text in consecutive order. Tables should be included in the electronic file on disk.
11. LEGENDS.Type legends for illustrations, in the order cited, with an arabic number corresponding to each figure. Note the method of staining and the magnification of photomicrographs and electron micrographs. Arrows, numbers, letters, or symbols used in illustrations should be explained.
ILLUSTRATIONS.Send three sets of figures with the numbers of the illustration on the front lower left corner. Figure parts must also be labeled in lower left corner of image, i.e. "A", "B", "C", etc. If there is a large number of figures or parts to each figure, the two reviewer sets may be mounted. However, the printer set must be unmounted. The reviewer copies of the illustrations may be color xeroxes or computer-generated black and white images (not black and white photocopies). Paste a label on the back of each illustration with the figure number, an arrow to indicate the top and the author's name. The maximum acceptable size of a single figure or array submitted is 17.7 x 22.8 cm (7 x 9 inches) for full page or 3 x 9 inches for single column; minimum acceptable size is 2 x 2 inches. Special markings (arrows, numbers, etc) should be applied and should be sufficiently large to withstand reduction.
