Un des symboles suivants apparaitra sur la derniAre image de chaque microfiche, selon le cas: le symbole — ♦- signifie "A SUIVRE ". le symbole V signifie "FIN ". Maps, plates, charts, etc.. may be filmed at different reduction ratios. Those too large to be entirely included in one exposure are filmed beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to right and top to bottom, as many frames as required. The following diagrams illustrate the method: Les cartes, planches, tableaux, etc.. peuvent etre filmis d des taux de reduction diff^rents.
