you. examine them carefully in comparison with the original
copy and return the corrected tracings only to us imme-
diately. We will have the illustration department make
the changes you will indicate on the tracings and then
proceed with the making of the reproductions. If you will
retain the original copies from which the tracings were
made, and, by the way, we will return to you today the
original copy for the first seventeen which you returned
with the corrected tracings and you can use these original
copies for comparison with the text in lieu of the actual
cut dummies.

I am quite sure that this procedure will work
out satisfactorily and will enable you not only to indi-
cate on the margin of the galleys the actual or approximate
point at which the diagrams should be inserted in the page
makeup, but will enable you to return the corected galley
proofs and the corresponding manuscript pages immediately.
By the time these galley proofs are returned, we will un-
doubtedly have completed the making of the engravings so
that we will be in a position to send the corected galley
proofs to the printer for page makeup,together with the
cut dummies,and the actual engravings,and the illustra-
tions that are to be inserted in the galleys during the
process of the paging.

In the case of the cut dummies of the photo-
graphs, you will have no difficulty, but we would appre-
ciate it if you would retumrm the photographs as well as
the cut dummies even though you may be entirely satis-
fied with the reproductions. We would like to keep all
the photographs available until the work has been com-
pleted in the event that during the process of production,
some accident might occur that would necessitate the making
of a new engraving. Of course if you have any criticism
or suggestions to offer in regard to the reproductions made
from the photographs, you may indicate your wishes directly .
on the cut dummies.

There is one further point which should have
your careful attention, and it is the final copy for the
descriptive legends that are to be set in type beneath the
illustrations in the finished book. During our recent con-
ference, we mentioned the fact that the legends that
appear on the photographs and on the diagrams were not
necessarily final, and it was agreed that when returning
the corrected galleys and cut dummies for page makeup, you
would furnish final copy for these descriptions.
