My area of specialty is in freshwater crustacean aquaculture but I am diverting my attention to several very interesting polychaetes that grow in abundance in our local estuaries. Presently I are working with Australoneris ehlersii (commonly called the pod worm). We have developed routine methods for spawning this critter and have decided to look closely at its larval development and metamorphosis prior to settling. As far as I am aware the life history of this species, along with most of the others in the region, is poorly described. My problem at present is that I have only a few old references regarding polychaete larval development. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions as to the whereabouts of relevant material, particularly recent publications that employ photographs to describe structures. Thanks in advance. _________________________ Paul Jones Aquaculture Deakin University Warrnambool PO Box 423 Victoria Australia 3280 Telephone 055 633433 Fax 055 633462 EMail pfj@deakin.edu.au _________________________ From BIOSCI-REQUEST Thu Feb 1 19:14:56 1996 Return-Path: BIOSCI-REQUEST Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) id TAA04112; Thu, 1 Feb 1996 19:14:56 -0800 Received: from storm.greta.cri.nz (storm.greta.cri.nz [131.203.56.10]) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id TAA04104; Thu, 1 Feb 1996 19:14:51 -0800 Received: from read ([131.203.56.134]) by storm.greta.cri.nz id ; Fri, 2 Feb 96 16:11:38 NZD Message-Id: <9602020311.AA02746@storm.greta.cri.nz> Comments: Authenticated sender is From: "Geoff Read" To: annelida@net.bio.net Date: Fri, 2 Feb 1996 16:13:05 +0000 Subject: Polychaete literature CD-ROM reminder Priority: normal X-Mailer: Pegasus Mail for Windows (v2.10) Those seeking an introduction to literature on specific topics may not know that, as well as their standard library resources, there is also a polychaete-specific CD-ROM which will help a great deal to get them started. The information below is quoted from CHAETOZONE-2 of May 1994, but, as far as I know, it's still valid. In issue 4 of the newsletter there is some background on some quirks of the CD-ROM. "Copies of "Literature on the Polychaeta (Annelida)", by Linda Ward and Kristian Fauchald, published in 1990 on a CD-ROM for IBM compatibles, are still available, and now at the reduced price of USD 15.00. This unique compilation has about 10,000 bibliographic citations from 1705-1989, (only a few for 1989). [That's about 6000 added since Hartman's 1951 book!] The CD-ROM, the first from the Smithsonian, also contains bibliographies on freshwater crayfish and cephalopods. Linda Ward advises that work continues on preparing an updated version and filling in omissions, but the new CD-ROM is some time off yet. Plans to make the revision accessible and searchable over the Internet are also under consideration.

We have plenty of copies of the CD, the cost is $15.00 and that includes postage. 2.) Payment MUST be in cash or a check made out to the "Smithsonian Institution " in US dollars. 3.) We can not accept credit card payments, our department is not able to handle them. I know that it would be easier for those of you outside the US but I'mafraid that it just isn't possible. 4.) If you send a request for the CD via e-mail I will file the request away until the money has arrived to pay for it. Otherwise we run into bookkeeping proble ms at this end. 5.) I have not tried it on a MAC myself so I can't be sure but as far as I know the CD doesn't work on MAC's, it is strictly for PC's. It can be run in Window s 3.1 and I see no reason for it not to work in Windows 95 since the software is all on the CD and is not actually installed onto your computer. 6.) Updates, etc. The CD was originally created as a test for the Smithsonian Press to see if they wanted to get into this type of publication. The bibliography was not proofed prior to moving the data to the CD software and it was not c ulled for duplicate or non-polychaete entries. The software (Romware) was also poorly documented and awkward to use. The CD had approximately 10,000 entries a nd our current personal-use bibliography has in the neighborhood of 16,000 citations. I would like to re-issue the bibliography but it requires a lot of clean-up which I have begun but things like our 2 government shutdowns, the blizzard a nd general staffing cutbacks has slowed my progress tremendously. There is also a question about what format to issue it in. Robin Wilson spent a lot of time moving our bibliography into a bibliographic software package called Papyrus. I have been using this program to enter new records and I have also spent a lot of time trying to standardize spelling of things like author names and journals. Robin also appended to this bibliography records that he had downloaded from Zoo. Rec. and Biol. Abstracts. I have talked with the people that oversee these 2 on-line databases and found that if I include these downloaded records in a bibliography that I issue I will have to pay them a licensing fee of $3.00/citation. Even after the duplicates are deleted I suspect that there would be several thousand citations for which I would have to pay this licensing fee and that is just not feasible. I am aiming to have a relatively clean version of the bibliography ready to re-issue by this fall (assuming we don't have anymore shutdowns or blizzards, or large "Literature Cited" sections to review for Kristian and Greg). I would like to see it go on the World Wide Web in some format as I think it will be the easiest, most cost effective, way to do it and keep it up dated. For those who don't have Web access but are on the Internet it could also go on the Smithsonian Gopher server I think. I would also like to see it go out as a Papyrus bibliography either compressed on disks or on a CD but as far as I know there is not a MAC version of Papyrus at this time. It does work in DOS, Windows 3+ and Windows 95. Once a decision has been made I will let the group know.

Hi fellow 'netters, My name is Ellen Fox and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles. Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and cut-out all the middlemen. They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail. They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it. They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I haved moved from one country to another. They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular USA titles they sell. They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions.

It would be useful to know what people are already up to in the region so outsiders have an idea of who to approach for collaborations and don't unwittingly compete with or duplicate work in progress. As a starter here are some names. Rather few considering the enormous span of South American coasts. I've lifted them from a list Mary Petersen had and added a couple.

Hi fellow 'netters, My name is Melanie Tsai and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles. Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and cut-out all the middlemen. They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail. They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it. They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I haved moved from one country to another. They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular USA titles they sell. They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions. Once you get in, you'll love them. I do. Sincerely, Melanie Tsai ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal!

Outside the USA there is a charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions. Once you get in, you'll love them. I do. Sincerely, Melanie Tsai ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for each new person you get to join after you join! If you exceed 25 referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas, Chanukah or any other occasion. Please be kind enough to mention my name when you join. I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring you. Thank you.

M. Orensanz writes:- ... regarding South American polychaetes. Although I have been living in the US for ca. 15 years and much of my current work deals with the modelling and management of shellfish resources, I began my scientific career in Argentina as a marine zoologist, with a strong interest in polychaetes. Between 1965 (while I was still an undergraduate student) and 1977 (when I had to leave my country for reasons alien to my will), I put together a large collection of polychaetes, mostly from northern Argentina and Uruguay (approximate latitudinal range 32o S to 42o S). All the materials were sorted to the generic level, and in all included more than 300 spp, many of them undescribed. I was able to publish on several of the families. Over the years, I also sent materials (often accompanied by my notes and draft drawings) to a number of colleagues. Many of these were published (see references below); others have been studied to various degrees but are still unpublished. Materials sent out for study include: Meredith L. Jones: Magelonids (4 spp.) Charlene D. Long: Pectinariids (one sp.) Harry A. Wells: Arenicolids (two spp.) Dave Kirtley: Sabellariids Mary Petersen: Pholoe (one undescribed sp.), Cirratulids Wilfried Westheide: an undescribed Microphthalmoid hesionid Marian Pettibone: Some polynoids (Euphionella spp. and an Alentia-like undescribed sp.); an undescribed sigalionid genus; one Eulepethid. Analia Amor: an undescribed Flabelligerid P. & E.W. Knight-Jones: Sabellids Sergio I. Salazar-Vallejo: Pilargids Jim Blake: Spionids, Orbiniids All these efforts, including mine and the enlisted help of others, were part of a formal research project conducted between 1970 and 1974 at the then Instituto de Biologia Marina (later taken away from the Universities and transformed into a fisheries agency), whose purpose was a comprehensive survey of the polychaete fauna from the southwestern Atlantic. This truncated project was one among the many academic casualties of the dramatic years of Argentina's last (or so I hope) military dictatorship. I have corresponded with other colleagues about the possibility of them studying other materials, but in some cases I was unable to finalize arrangements due to the fact that most of my collections are in Argentina. I am now spending more time in South America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay), mostly in relation to teaching/research projects in resource management, but always keeping an eye on marine fauna & polychaetes. Next March I will be teaching in Montevideo (Uruguay), and during April I will be in Argentina. That could create the opportunity to retrieve selected materials (some of which I am already committed to send to several colleagues). Much of my current zoological interest in the SW Atlantic regards several questions in biogeography. In that context I keep an electronic catalogue (still far for complete) of benthic invertebrates from the southwestern Atlantic & its adjacencies (Uruguay, Argentina, Chile south of 47o S; intertidal to 2,000 m). It contains references and notes on the distribution of ca. 3,000 species (Sponges through Cephalochordates), and is regularly updated (as time permits) with the input of colleagues from all over the World (thank you INTERNET!). My main objective through this efforts (which are largely individual and unsupported) has been to improve and organize the information available on the composition and distribution of the South-West Atlantic biota. Ideally, these files should be converted some day into a relational data-base, centralized at one of our Museums, and available to the public. Needless to say, potential support for such a project is nihil. Now, back to your message, I would be glad to assist Paulo, yourself, and colleagues in general in everything within my reach concerning Argentine polychaetes. I hope to attend the next Polychaete Conference (this would be my first), and if things are arranged with due anticipation I might be helpful in providing some assistance/orientation to persons with specific projects.

The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. Contents: -------- 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index in addition to the master index for the entire set. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

Gaston) Subject: Aricidea Jerry McLelland and I have been working on some Aricidea recently, and we noticed that adult specimens usually are packed posteriorly with fairly large sand grains. This makes their posterior ends, which are thin walled, easily lost during washing of samples. Question: Can they pass these sand grains? We have not been able to maintain any specimens in culture, but it appears impossible that these sand grains pass through the anus, and they are so far posterior that I doubt they can be regurgitated. Perhaps the sand grains have some function in digestion, but without much muscle in this region I doubt it. Anybody seen this before or have any experience with it? No personal testimonials, please, we're talking worms only. Gary R.

I would have to dig around to find a provisional generic identification, though. The shelf sediments are mainly poorly sorted carbonate (lots of bryozoan fragts, etc), and they pack the thin-walled posteriors of paraonids in just the way you describe. It only registered subliminally with me that these animals must be accumulating a painful excretion problem. Maybe they use their "sandbag rear ends" to kosh one another in defense of territory?! More seriously, if the coarse fragments cannot be eliminated, maybe the quantity of trapped sediment is a measure of the age of the worm? I would be very interested to hear progress reports if you do any work on this. bye Robin _____________________________________________________________________ Robin Wilson rwilson@mov.vic.gov.au Museum of Victoria 71 Victoria Crescent telephone 61-3 9284 0216 Abbotsford Victoria fax 61-3 9416 0475 Australia 3067 _____________________________________________________________________ From BIOSCI-REQUEST Mon Feb 12 17:49:05 1996 Return-Path: BIOSCI-REQUEST Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) id RAA09374; Mon, 12 Feb 1996 17:49:05 -0800 Received: from staff.cs.su.OZ.AU (staff.cs.su.OZ.AU [129.78.8.1]) by net.bio.net (8.6.12/8.6.6) with SMTP id RAA09370; Mon, 12 Feb 1996 17:49:00 -0800 Received: from amsg.Austmus.oz.au by staff.cs.su.OZ.AU (mail from path for annelida@net.bio.net) with MHSnet (insertion MHSnet site: gate.Austmus.oz.au); Tue, 13 Feb 1996 12:46:30 +1100 Received: from amsg.austmus.oz.au by gate.Austmus.oz.au id aa22259; Tue, 13 Feb 96 12:16:13 EST Received: from cc:Mail by amsg.Austmus.oz.au (1.20/SMTPLink) id A23456; Tue, 13 Feb 96 11:56:28 AEST Date: Tue, 13 Feb 96 11:56:28 AEST From: PatH Message-ID: <9602131156.A23456@amsg.Austmus.oz.au> To: annelida@net.bio.net Subject: change of address Australain Museum Text item: Text_1 Please note that the new correct address for the Australian Museum is The Australian Museum 6, College Street Sydney NSW 2000 Australia We are loosing our mail box (for financial reasons) not sure how long the Post Office will continue to deliver mail to us when it is addressed to the PO Box, so please amend your records otherwise your mail may go astray.

Just to put things in perspective, it is situated on the Northern Coast of Kwazulu/ Natal and consists of Tropical Dune forests sandwitched between the Indian ocean and Lake st Lucia. It's actual name is Mission Rocks, but the closest place on any map would probably be Cape Vidal or Sodwana Bay or the town of St Lucia. It's been raining alot all over Southern Africa especially in the Western regions of Southern Africa including the North Coast. During one such raining night, I was searching for some very special spiders in the forest, when I noticed some little luminecent 'blobs' on the foest floor. After fighting my way through the thick vegitation I noticed more liminecent 'blobs', and to my suprise, the luminecent patches coincided to where I have walked, footstep by footstep. On closer investigation I found that It was a slimy substance that was glowing. Further closer inspection revealed that the worms just under the decaying leaves secreated this slime. When a worm was 'roughed up' it literally squirted a spray of bioluminecent slime which glowed profusely as a defense mechanism, better than anything I've seen in the shops. Being the person I am, I caught some. They look like the ordinary garden worm (Lumbricus sp.) About 12cm long. I've tried to find out what they are, but none of my usual sources have turned up anything (Local universities etc). I've been to Mission Rocks (St Lucia) many times an never seen this before. Has anyone heard of this before ? If so I'd like to know.

The bibliography file itself is plain text, so it would be possible to copy it to a Mac from a PC. I don't think it would be possible to make use of the index files too, but at least simple searches could be done in the text file. > I would like to re-issue the bibliography [...] We are very happy you are able to keep doing this project!

Due 'shortly' I believe. Sadly Papyrus has failed to issue a Windows version, nor is one promised soon. As a consequence it must be losing many former enthusiastic users. There are several frustrations in using what is now a rather clumsy Dos program in a windows environment. So, if I have a choice, I would prefer the bibliography to be independant of one particular piece of software and available in plain text with the usual 'tagged' fields that any good bibliography program could import.

Hi fellow 'netters, My name is Allison Eng and I recently started using a magazine subscription club in the USA that has a FREE 1 yr. magazine subscription deal with your first paid order- and I have been very pleased with them. They have over 1,500 different USA titles that they can ship to any country on a subscription basis. As for computer magazines from the USA, they more of a selection than I ever knew even existed. They have magazines for most every area of interest in their list of 1,500 titles. Within the USA, for their USA members, they are cheaper than all their competitors and even the publishers themselves. This is their price guarantee. Overseas, on the average, they are generally around one-fourth to one-half of what the newsstands overseas charge locally for USA magazines. On some titles they are as little as one-tenth of what the newsstands charge. They feel that mgazines should not be a luxury overseas. In the USA, people buy magazines and then toss them after reading them for just a few minutes or hours. They are so cheap in the USA! Well, this company would like to make it the same way for their overseas members. They are also cheaper than all their competitors in the USA and overseas, including the publishers themselves! This is their price guarantee. Around one-half their business comes from overseas, so they are very patient with new members who only speak limited English as a 2nd language. Their prices are so cheap because they deal direct with each publisher and cut-out all the middlemen. They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. Please do not email me as I am just a happy customer and a *busy* student. I don't have time to even complete my thesis in time, let alone run my part-time software business! Please fill out the above form and carefully follow the intructions above to get it to them via fax or smail. They guarantee to beat all their competitors' prices. Sometimes they are less than half of the next best deal I have been able to find and other times, just a little cheaper - but I have never found a lower rate yet. They assured me that if I ever do, they will beat it. They have been very helpful and helped me with all my address changes as I haved moved from one country to another. They have a deal where you can get a free 1 yr. sub to a new magazine from a special list of over 295 popular titles published in the USA. They will give you this free 1 yr. sub when you place your first paid order with them to a renewal or new subscription to any of the over 1,500 different popular USA titles they sell. They can arrange delivery to virtually any country and I think they have clients in around 45 or 46 countries now. Outside the USA there is a charge for FPH (foreign postage and handling) (on both paid and freebie subs) that varies from magazine to magazine. I have found their staff to be very friendly and courteous. They even helped me with an address change when I moved from one country to another. The owner thinks of his service as a "club" and his clients as "members" (even though there is no extra fee to become a member - your first purchase automatically makes you a member) and he is real picky about who he accepts as a new member. When he sets you up as a new member, he himself calls you personally on the phone to explain how he works his deal, or sometimes he has one of his assistants call. He is kind of quirky sometimes - he insists on setting up new members by phone so he can say hi to everyone (I sure wouldn't want to have his phone bills!), but you can place future orders (after your first order) via E-mail. He has some really friendly young ladies working for him, who seem to know just as much as he does about this magazine stuff. If you live overseas, he will even call you there, as long as you are interested, but I think he still makes all his overseas calls on the weekends, I guess cause the long distance rates are cheaper then. He only likes to take new members from referrals from satisfied existing members and he does virtually no advertising. When I got set-up, they had a 2-3 week waiting list for new members to be called back so that they could join up. (Once you are an existing member, they help you immediately when you call. ) I think they are able to get back to prospective new members the same day or within a few days now, as they have increased their staff. I am not sure about this.........but if you email the above form to them, that is the way to get started! They will send you their DELUXE EMAIL CATALOGUE (around 525K-big and juicey) !)...if you completely fill out the form above. It has lists of all the freebies, lists of all the titles they sell, titles broken down by categories and detailed descriptions on nearly 1,200 of the titles that they sell. They then send you email that outlines how his club works and the list of free choices that you can choose from, as well as the entire list of what he sells; and then they will give you a quick (3-5 minute) friendly, no-pressure no-obligation call to explain everything to you personally and answer all your questions. Once you get in, you'll love them. I do. Sincerely, Allison Eng ps. please forward a copy of this message to all your friends on the net who you think might be interested in it! It is a great deal! If you join and then they join after you, you will earn a free 1 yr. subscription for each new person you get to join after you join! If you exceed 25 referrals, they let you use them to give away as gifts, for Christmas, Chanukah or any other occasion. Please be kind enough to mention my name when you join. I will then get a free magazine for a year for referring you. Thank you.
