Caldwell, C. J.
¶1Appellee moves to dismiss this appeal, assigning the following reasons: First, that an attempt has been made to appeal under the statute providing for term-time appeals, but that the statute has not been complied with, and that no steps have been taken to perfect the appeal as a vacation appeal; second, that there has been a failure to comply with the rules of this court, in that the transcript contains no marginal notes, and appellants’ briefs" do not contain proper references to the transcript.
¶21. The facts on which the first reason is based are as follows: The judgment was rendered, May 17, 1917, being at the May term of the trial court. The motion for a new trial was overruled, May 21, 1917, being also at the May term of said court. At the time of the ruling on the motion for a new trial appellants prayed an appeal to this court, which *167was granted “upon defendants filing an appeal bond for $500.00 within thirty days from this date, and filing bill of exceptions within sixty days thereafter. ’ ’ On June 20,1917, being at the June term of the trial court, appellants filed an appeal bond in penalty as fixed by the court, with William M. Taylor as surety thereon, which bond was thereupon approved by the court and filed with the clerk. The transcript was filed in this court, August 18, 1917. It is not contended that any steps have been taken to perfect the appeal as a vacation appeal. Under such circumstances it would seem that the motion should be sustained and the appeal dismissed on authority of Tuttle v. Fowler (1915), 183 Ind. 99, 107 N. E. 674, and cases there cited, and, also, the later case of Rohrbaugh v. Leas, Admr. (1917), 63 Ind. App. 544, 114 N. E. 762.
¶32. Appellants, however, point to §3 of the act of 1917, Acts 1917 p. 523, §691c Burns’ Supp. 1918, and insist that the situation here is governed by that act, and that by virtue thereof appellee must be held to have waived each of the defects complained of, by reason of a failure to point them out within the fifteen-day period, and in the manner provided by §3 of that act. Appellants correctly interpret that section. Defects included within its provisions are waived if not pointed out as thereby required. When so waived, this court may examine the transcript to determine the appeal on its merits. Leslie v. Ebner (1919), 67 Ind. App. 32,117 N. E. 511, 118 N. E. 829. As to any of the defects now complained of appellee did not take the steps required by said §3, but for the first time and by means of a motion to dismiss points them out as grounds on which such *168motion rests. It follows that, if the defects which constitute the grounds of the motion exist in fact, and if they are included within the scope of said §3, appellee has waived them, and we are authorized to overrule the motion. Leslie v. Ebner, supra. An inspection of the transcript discloses that it contains no marginal notes. An inspection of appellants’ briefs likewise discloses that there has been a partial failure to make proper references to the transcript. These defects, forming the basis of the second reason assigned for dismissal as above set out, come within the provisions of §3, supra, and for reasons indicated have been waived by appellee.
¶43. The facts upon which the first reason is based amount to more than a defect. They are jurisdictional in nature. Being jurisdictional, the effect of the involved omission is not comprehended by the curative provisions of said §3, supra. It follows that as to the facts involved in the first reason as above set out a waiver does not result from appellee’s failure to proceed under such §3, supra, since as to such situation such section is not applicable.
¶5Following the authorities above cited, the motion is sustained, and the cause dismissed for the reason first above set out.
