I have contacted VARIG (one of the major Brazilian air carriers) re this issue and they will try to make things easier for conference attendants. So if you have any flight problems, please send me an e-mail in the next three or four days , including all the available information (reservation number, flight date, provenance place, and so on). The list of conference attendants will be sent to VARIG and I really hope they can be of some help.

I did not expect to receive much help because the number of taxonomists with the expert knowledge needed, is very small and most of them have limited time or are not much interested in providing this kind of service to the scientific community at large. However, I still received quite some positive reactions and several people provided information such as lists of species of polychaete families. Others were willing to correct and update existings lists in digital form. Nevertheless there is a long way to go before we can make available a reasonably usefull overview of the 8000 + species of annelids. Regrettable work on the register had to be postponed for quite a while, but I hope to proceed again soon and I am greatly interested again in cooperation with 'annalidians' as well. Because the members of this newsgroup are interested in several other groups of worms I want to draw their attention to a number of species lists that could already be made available on the website mentioned below, most of them being complete as far a the species names is concerned. These include lists of Cephalorhyncha (including Kinorhyncha, Priapulida and Loricifera), Chaetognatha, Echiura, Gastrotricha, Hemichordata, Nemertini, Phoronida, Sipuncula and Tardigrada, just to mention some wormlike creatures. Of course the species numbers in these groups are small in comparision to a group like the Polychaeta, but at least they can serve as examples and, may be, stimulate experts in other groups to cooperate. Have a look: http://wwweti.eti.bio.uva.nl/database/urmo/default.shtml Geoff already suggested to make lists 'under construction' available on the Annelid Resources' site and indeed this could foster joint work on the project. I could also provide text versions of some of the worm lists for easy downloading.

Pettibone will celebrate her 90th birthday on 8 July. Up to a short time ago, Dr. Pettibone was coming in every day, working hard on her scale-worms, busy with describing new taxa from various vent areas. We have not seen her here for a while, but expect that she will start coming back to work soon. In the meantime, Linda Ward and I are planning a surprise for her on her birthday. If you are interested in sending Dr. Petitbone a greeting on her birthday, please send Linda an e-mail message ( Ward.Linda@NMNH.SI.edu) with the greetings. Linda will print the messages, put them in a nice folder or some other form of transmission and bring them to Dr. Pettibone on her birthday. Systematic zoology is in many ways a supremely historical field of science: I would like to remind you that Dr. Pettibone's publication record spans 50 years, covering essentially the whole second half of the 20th Century. Her work will remain important to us for the duration, and I would very much like to see her efforts celebrated. Her birthday gives us an opportunity to do so.

Figures and tables, with their legends and headings, should be self-explanatory and not require reference to the text. Line drawings should be scaled for 50% reduction. Oversize figures and tables will not be accepted unless the author is willing to assume the cost of size reduction. Figures should be clear and legible on all copies, with 1-inch margins. Figures will be reduced to fit within a 12.5 x 20.0 cm printed page size. The dimensions and the thickness of the individual lines, spaces, and letters will also be reduced proportionally. Authors are urged to refer to the Council on Biological Editors Style Manual, 6th edition, for guidance in the preparation of their figures. Do not send original drawings to the Editor; when needed they will be requested. Each table should start on a separate page. Consistency in headings and format is desirable. Vertical rules should be avoided. Acknowledgments, if included, are placed at the end of the text. Literature is cited in the text as: Smith and Jones (1968) or (Smith and Jones, 1968). All papers referred to in the text must be listed alphabetically by the senior author's surname under the heading "Literature Cited." Only the authors' surnames and initials are required in the Literature Cited. The accuracy of the Literature Cited is the responsibility of the author. Abbreviations of names of periodicals should conform to the Council of Biological Editors Style Manual, 6th edition, or the World List of Scientific Periodicals. Common abbreviations and symbols, such as %, mm, m, g, ml, mg, oC (for Celsius), - m, and so forth, should be used. Abbreviate units of measure only when used with numerals. Periods are only rarely used with abbreviations. We prefer that measurements be given in metric units; other equivalent units may be given in parentheses. Footnotes are not accepted. Such ancillary information should appear in the text set off in [brackets]. FORM OF THE MANUSCRIPT: The submitted manuscript should be typed, double-spaced, on white paper. The sequence of the material should be: TITLE PAGE, ABSTRACT, TEXT, LITERATURE CITED, AUTHOR ADDRESSES, APPENDIX, TABLES (Each table should be numbered with an arabic numeral and heading provided), LIST OF FIGURES (Entire figure legends), FIGURES (Each figure should be numbered with an arabic numeral and subsets with a capital letter, A,B,C.,etc. When the figures form a collage the figure numbers should be permanently affixed to each figure or identified as upper left, lower right, etc.) FINAL MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSION: Following acceptance of the revised manuscript, the author will be required to submit an electronically-prepared, correctly-formatted manuscript for publication. Computer formatting instructions will be sent to the author when the manuscript has been accepted for publication. The correctly-formatted manuscript may be sent as an e-mail attachment or enclosure to bms@rsmas.miami.edu, or, a disc may be submitted in which case the author is required to identify the word processing program and version number (e.g., Microsoft Word<< 6.0, WordPerfect<< 6.1) and the computer platform (Apple Macintosh<< or IBM compatible PC). Original illustrations must be submitted separately by regular mail even if they are included in the electronic submission. Following submittal of the final manuscript, as per the submittal instructions, the manuscript will be set up for publication and a galley proof returned to the author for final proof reading. The author will be responsible for any errors that appear in the final printed version. BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPUTER FILE PREPARATION Text (including literature cited, figure legends, table legends, etc.). o Earlier versions of Word or WordPerfect are preferred, e.g., Word 5.1; WordPerfect 5.0. o Files saved as a Macintosh file are preferred - typesetting is done on a Macintosh platform. o Files should be prepared in 12 point type using the Times or Times New Roman font. o Do not mix fonts - special characters in other font styles will be copied from the final manuscript when typeset. o No scripting of characters or boldfacing, except for new species. o No hard hyphens, hard spaces, embedded code, or "small" caps, e.g., RV CAPE TOWN. o Taxonomic binomials are italicized - nothing else is italicized unless part of a formula or quote. o No underlining except when the italics font is not available to the author. o No indenting of paragraphs or centering of headings - all text must be flush left. o Single space all text including the Literature Cited. o Superscripts and subscripts are acceptable, e.g., cm-1, CO2. o Use only one space after a period at the end of sentence and elsewhere in text. o Do not number pages or use bullets. o Numbers one through nine should be spelled out when not associated with units of measure. o Common abbreviations and symbols, such as d (day), h (hour), yr (year), %, mm, m, g, ml, mg, C (for Celsius), mm, and so forth, should be used. Abbreviate units of measure only when used with numbers, e.g., 45 cm, 14 mg, 30 d. o Footnotes are not accepted. Such ancillary information, if necessary, should appear within the text set off in [brackets]. o Latin binomials are the only italicized words in the Literature Cited. o In the Literature Cited, only capitalize formal or proper names - do not capitalize or italicize the titles of books, symposia, conferences, reference volumes, etc. Do not use "&" in citations. Tables o Use default tabs only to separate columns - one tab per column. Columns will be separated and aligned during typesetting. o Insert a tab at the end of each row. o Do not use spaces along rows within or between columns. o Do not break up tables as continuation pages, e.g., no "Table x, con't." o For large tables, the number of columns must be the same for all rows even if cells are blank. o No underlining or box-line formatting in tables. Figures o Figures must be sized to fit within the printed page dimension of 198 x 125 mm with or without a maximum 1/2 reduction. Oversized figures will be rejected. o Color graphics are not accepted unless the author agrees in advance to pay up to $1200 for each color figure or plate. o The Times New Roman font is preferred for all figure labeling to be consistent with the final printed text which is in Times New Roman. The standard Times font is an acceptable substitute. If neither font is available, please use the closest matching font. o Do no use gray-scale shading in figures, such as in bar graphs - instead use heavy line cross hatching. The contrast differences in gray-scale shading are lost during typesetting. o Avoid the use of very print, fine lines or very light stippling - these fade or disappear during final printing, or in the case of text, become unreadable. o Photographs should be high-contrast glossy or matte finish prints - avoid photographs containing subtle shades of gray particularly for those graphic portions of interest. o Do not submit slides or negatives of photographs of figures to be included. o All figures must be submitted on high-quality white paper or mounted on poster board. Do not submit figures as computer files. Submit original figures only on the request from the Editor. -- ANNELIDA LIST Discuss = = talk to all members Server = = un/subscribes Archives = http://www.bio.net:80/hypermail/ANNELIDA/ Resources = http://biodiversity.uno.edu/~worms/annelid.html -- From daemon Thu Jun 18 15:05:54 1998 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12-r-beta/8.6.6) id PAA02863 Message-Id: <199806182205.PAA02863@net.bio.net> To: annelida@net.bio.net Date: Thu, 18 Jun 1998 22:09:57 +1000 Reply-To: annelida@net.bio.net From: Michael Taylor Subject: modeling E. fetida populations Dear readers, I am seeking the assistance of those who know of any mathematical models describing the population dynamics of Eisenia fetida or other species in vermicomposting systems.

Email addresses for the appropriate correspondent are provided with each family at the web site, and we are actively seeking constructive criticism - in fact this is one of the main reasons for making the data available on the net. Comment that may be of general interest or could result in informative discussion should be posted to the list. Image files are incomplete at present, and additional images will be added as originals are prepared or as copyright permission to reuse published images is obtained. Most species, however, are illustrated. As with the other 3 families on the web site, any web browser can be used to view lists of characters, taxa, images, and introductory remarks. However, interactive identification requires the user to install the DELTA program Intkey and then download and install the compressed zip file. Instructions for this, and a link to the DELTA site, are on the http://www.mov.vic.gov.au/poly/families.html page. Be aware that the current version of Intkey defaults to "simplified mode" on startup; you will probably need to change this to "Advanced mode" (from the file menu) to access all functions since I have not (yet) replicated some important functions on the customised toolbar. bye Robin Museum of Victoria 71 Victoria Crescent Abbotsford Vic 3067 Australia DELTA treatment of polychaetes from southern Australia - http://www.mov.vic.gov.au/poly/ rwilson@mov.vic.gov.au telephone [613] 9284 0216 fax [613] 9416 0475 -- ANNELIDA LIST Discuss = = talk to all members Server = = un/subscribes Archives = http://www.bio.net:80/hypermail/ANNELIDA/ Resources = http://biodiversity.uno.edu/~worms/annelid.html -- From daemon Mon Jun 22 03:06:53 1998 Received: (from daemon@localhost) by net.bio.net (8.6.12-r-beta/8.6.6) id DAA01674 Message-Id: <199806221006.DAA01674@net.bio.net> To: annelida@net.bio.net Date: Mon, 22 Jun 1998 11:25:23 +0200 Reply-To: annelida@net.bio.net From: Nathalie.Cosson@ifremer.fr (Nathalie COSSON) Subject: Parasitism Dear annelidans, I am looking for informations on parasitism (polychaete/nematods) We have found in Trawl samples Polynoidae with parasitic nematodes (north atlantic abyssal plain).

There is a "river worm" (D. riparia) collected commercially in Missouri and to a limited extent in Kansas- maybe also in Arkansas and eastern Oklahoma. It has brown anterior dorsal pigmentation, reaches size of 15-30 cm, and lives in floodplains and the steep river bank itself. I have also found them in feedlots and pastures near springs and seepages. It is valued for its tolerance of high temperatures and durability on the hook. I had some survive 37-40 C daytime highs while kept in the shade in a can filled with moist river silt. Other large Diplocardia potentially found in the region in question are D. fusca and D. communis. The latter is unpigmented and so may be perceived as gray in the event of the gut contents being dark soil. It would be more common in the floodplain and upland soils. No one is farming them, as far as I know. Bait shops in eastern Kansas and western Missouri can be polled for the presence of river worms. Another long shot is a gray-green worm of asian origin, commonly known as "green worms", valued for its strong aroma, somewhat reminiscent of freshly dug carrots but worse (catfish love it). This is Amynthas hupeiensis, and it reaches very high populations in moist soils of river banks and other places. It may out-compete D. riparia and is spread by fishermen.
