Texts which are out of print but still in demand may also be considered if they fall within these categories. The timeliness of a manuscript is more important than its form, which may be unfinished or tentative. Thus, in some instances, proofs may be merely outlined and results presented which have been or will later be published elsewhere. Manuscripts should comprise not less than 100 pages. Publication of Lecture Notes is intended as a service to the international mathematical community, in that a commercial publisher, Springer-Verlag, can offer a wider distribution to documents which would otherwise have a restricted readership. Once published and copyrighted, they can be documented in the scientific literature. Manuscripts Manuscripts are reproduced by a photographic process; they must therefore be typed with extreme care. Symbols not on the typewriter should be inserted by hand in indelible black ink. Corrections to the typescript should be made by sticking the amended text over the old one, or by obliterating errors with white correcting fluid. Authors receive 75 free copies. The typescript is reduced slightly in size during reproduction; best results will not be obtained unless the text on any one page is kept within the overall limit of 18 x26.5 em (7 x l0lj2 inches). The publishers will be pleased to supply on request special stationery with the typing area outlined. Manuscripts in English, German or French should be sent to Prof. Dr. A. Dold, Mathematisches Institut der U niversitiit Heidelberg, 69 Heidelberg/Germany, Tiergartenstr ,
