(In Volume 29 on p.195.)
Some citations will have an additional number in parentheses following the volume number such as 6(1): 21-30. The extra number is the number of the issue in the volume that contains the article (the first, in this example). Usually this is not needed since all issues of a volume are bound together when the volume is complete. Also, most journals number pages successively for an entire volume rather than beginning with page one for each issue.
