Mar I am able to report that the hesionid 'iceworms,' which much intrigued us last August, have just been formally described therein: Desbruyeres,Daniel; Toulmond,Andre (1998): A new species of hesionid worm, Hesiocaeca methanicola sp. nov. (Polychaeta: Hesionidae), living in ice-like methane hydrates in the deep Gulf of Mexico. Cahiers de Biologie Marine 39(1), 93-98. ABSTRACT: "On July 14, 1997, in the Gulf of Mexico, a dense population of polychaete worms dwelling in methane hydrates associated with cold seeps was discovered and sampled at 538 meters depth. The worms belong to the family Hesionidae and represent a new species of the genus Hesiocaeca. They differ from the two previously described species by the shape of the prostomium, the shape of the setae and the presence of anal cirri." I further notice that Fred Pleijel (1998, Zoologica Scripta 27(2):124) in his just-published major analysis of the hesionids prefers to place this species in a new genus _Sirsoe_ as Sirsoe A along with S. grasslei (Blake, 1985) (formerly in Orseis), and regards Hesiocaeca as incertae sedis. I should add the respective authors both mention the difference of opinion on placement.

Each will present a speech or poster. The Conference will include a fair balance of taxonomic, biological and ecological contributions. Two plenary sessions have been planned, covering the following topics: Current Advances in the Phylogeny of Worms Current Advances and Trends in Polychaete Biology and Ecology Besides being e-mailed or faxed to all the scientists who confirmed their participation, this circular will be sent by e-mail or fax to all participants, and will be available at the following address: http://200.17.232.65/6polconf.htm as of 3 July 1998. Conference venue All sessions and meetings will be held in the Teatro da Reitoria (Theatre of the Presidency) of Universidade Federal do Parana, Rua XV de Novembro, 1299, in downtown Curitiba, a 2-15 minute walk from the hotels selected by the Organizing Committee. The theatre, which can hold up to 500 people, will be provided with all conference facilities for oral sessions and poster displays. Other facilities (such as e-mail and WWW access, fax, photocopies) will be available at the reception room or in nearby University offices. Conference programme Registration and all scientific activities will be held at the Teatro da Reitoria, Universidade Federal do Parana. A detailed programme including abstracts of the papers and posters presented at the conference will be available at the reception room of the conference venue the afternoon of 2 August. There have been some changes in the programme as announced in the 2nd Circular, including the cancellation of the symposium on Internet mediated resources, which has been replaced by a poster session. The formal conference banquet announced in the 2nd Circular has also been changed to an informal and more relaxed dinner on Thursday evening.

Closing Session Oral contributions and poster presentation All submitted papers and posters have been accepted for presentation; about 50 of them have been edited by invited referees and the Organizing Committee. Only presented and reviewed contributions will be considered for publication in the Bulletin of Marine Science. The reading or presenting of papers written by parties which are not at all present at the conference will not be allowed. English is the official language to be used in the conference, and no translation facilities will be provided. Participants will be notified of the poster and oral presentation time schedules prior to your arrival in Curitiba, through private e-mails or faxes. As there will be no parallel sessions, each participant will be allowed 20 minutes, including discussion, for oral contributions. Speakers are advised to speak slowly and clearly. This time limit will be strictly observed by chairpersons. Separate screens will be available for slides (standard size) and overhead projection transparencies (please hold to the 20 x 20 cm size limit). Please check to see that lettering and images can be read from the back of a large theatre. Video facilities will be available for oral presentations (the Brazilian video system is PAL-M). Please notify the Organizing Committee before July 15 if you intend to use these facilities. Each poster will be allocated a space of 1.77 m (width) x 0,86 m (height). Posters will be on display during three sessions. All posters must be in English. Please keep text to a minimum, title posters carefully, and include the name, address(es) and a photograph of the author(s). The posters will be on display at the theatre entrance, which will be open before the scheduled sessions, so that participants can arrange their own posters. Among the posters, one will be selected for an award as the `best poster' by a Sub-Committee chosen among the Advisory Council members. The award will include a diploma, conference T-shirt and waiver (cash) of the conference fee. The award will be presented at the plenary session on Friday afternoon. The selection will be based on the poster's scientific content and on the graphic design and layout. The contributed papers will be submitted for peer review and published by the Bulletin of Marine Science. The proceedings will be co-edited by Donald Reish and Paulo Lana. Information on manuscript preparation is given at the end of this announcement. The papers must not exceed 8 printed pages, including figures and references (about 625 words per printed page and about 27 references to a printed page). Every page, including tables and references, must be double spaced. BMS will charge US $ 70.00 for each additional page, which is payable to Dr. Reish. The manuscript will not be sent to BMS until the editor receives outstanding page charges. The original and two copies of the manuscript must be sent by registered air-mail to Dr. Reish no later than 30 August, 1998. Do not send electronic versions at this moment. Upon acceptance by BMS, the MS should be submitted on a disk, single spaced. Detailed instructions for electronic preparation will be sent after Donald Reish and Samuel Snedaker (the BMS editor) accept the manuscript. It is very important to note that all papers must be submitted on 28.0 cm-length (11 inches) paper, and not on 29.5 cm paper, because the U.S.Postal Service fast mail and Overnight Express services (which will be used to speed the process) cannot accommodate the larger paper. The publication is scheduled for November 1999, and will run as planned if reviewers and authors adhere to the deadlines provided by Dr. Reish, who will present additional information during the conference. Conference `flea-market' Conferences provide a good opportunity to supplement one's library with relevant literature. If you have books, overstock reprints or any other relevant material that can be distributed or sold (preferably with a conference specific discount), please bring them. We make a special request for people to bring any unwanted or otherwise spare duplicate photos from previous conferences, with conference specification (PC-1, PC-2, etc) and name of photographer on the back (so that we can arrange a late-hour poster, and people can swap). Letter of invitation The Conference chairman will be pleased to send a letter of invitation to help potential participants to raise funds, or obtain a visa. We will not commit to the provision of financial support, unless formally indicated. You may request an invitation letter directly from Paulo Lana (lana@aica.cem.ufpr.br). Registration and fees The registration fee will entitle you to admittance to the conference, conference materials, one copy of the proceedings and final programme, the reception cocktail, coffee breaks, conference dinner, and mid-conference tour (lunch not included). The registration fee will entitle accompanying persons to attend the scheduled social programme (the price of tickets to trips and tours will be kept to a minimum), mid-conference tour, social receptions and scientific programme. Please notice that due to a general strike in the Brazilian federal universities, the Conference secretariat was unable to process any credit card information or charge credit cards. We have decided not to charge them. All the confidential credit card information sent by conference attendants has been destroyed. Conference costs have been advanced by the Organization Committee (actually by the chairman!), including hotel deposits. In order to receive conference material, you will have to make your payment upon your arrival at the registration desk, either on Sunday, 2 August or Monday, 3 August, but no later. All payments should be made in US $ dollars or R $ (reais, the Brazilian currency). One US dollar is equivalent to 1.2 reais. If you have already paid by money order, a balance of your payment will be presented to you at the conference registration desk. Accommodations Two hotels, situated within easy walking distance of the conference venue, have been selected and booked for the Sixth International Polychaete Conference: Category A - Inter Palace Hotel - R. XV de Novembro, 950 (Centro - Downtown) - Curitiba (200 m from conference venue). Phone: + 55 41 2235282/ Fax: + 55 41 2252224. E-mail: inter@datasoft.com.br (to Valdir Nogueira Costa). Breakfast included. Single room: US $ 40.00, taxes included (this corresponds to about 45 reais, the Brazilian currency). Double room: US $ 50.00, taxes included (55 reais). Categories B and C - San Juan Hotel (R. Candido de Abreu, 468 (Centro Civico, Curitiba, at 800 m from conference venue). Phone/fax: + 55 41 2537004. Breakfast included. Single and double rooms: US $ 63.00, taxes included (71 reais). A cheaper alternative for students is the Albergue da Juventude de Curitiba (International Hostelling), at Rua Padre Agostinho, 645 (Merces), phone + 55 41 233 2746, fax + 55 41 2332846. Cost: US $ 10.00 dollars, with breakfast and taxes included. Reservations must be made before 31 July. The hostelling has collective male and female dorms, very simple but neat and safe. It is not located at a walking distance from the conference venue, but it is easily accessed by bus. Accommodations have been booked for all attendants who requested it in their registration forms. If you HAVE NOT asked for a hotel booking in your registration form and want to stay in one of those hotels, please contact them directly and state that you are going to attend the conference. If you have asked for a hotel reservation, please DO NOT contact hotels again, as your reservation will have already been made. Attendants who have sent reservation information will receive a private e-mail confirming their accommodation within the next few days. A taxi from the Curitiba International airport to either hotel costs about US $ 25.00-30.00. A good and less expensive alternative is to take the Ligeirinho bus (line Aeroporto-Centro Civico). It costs less than US $ 1.00 and takes about 40-60 minutes to Curitiba downtown, depending on the traffic. If you are booked in Inter Palace Hotel, ask the driver to be let off at the CIRCULO MILITAR stop. From there it will take you a 3-minute walk to the hotel. If you are booked in San Juan Hotel, ask to be let off at PREFEITURA stop (in Candido de Abreu Street), just a 3-minute walk from the hotel. Bus drivers most probably will not speak English, so write these names on a piece of paper. You can get detailed information on Curitiba streets at http://mapas.dbmapa.com/gazeta.asp (Portuguese). Staff from the conference secretariat will be at the airport from Friday afternoon (31 July) to Sunday evening (2 August), waiting for conference attendants. If you plan to travel by bus, please contact the Organizing Committe to receive additional information. If you have not done so as yet, please confirm your exact time and date of arrival, directly to lana@aica.cem.ufpr.br or to the fax number + 55 41 4551105. Lunch for Monday 3, Tuesday 4, Wednesday 5 (mid-conference day), Thursday, 6 August, and Friday, 7 August, will be provided at Inter Palace Hotel (a 2-minute walk from the conference venue) at the cost of US $ 10.00 per meal (soft drinks and beer not included!), for those who have so requested at the registration form. If you want to be included in this group, please contact the Organization Committee before July 15. Later registrations for lunch will not be accepted. Travel to Brazil and Curitiba Useful information and practical advice about the country are exhaustively presented in the Brazil volume of the Lonely Planet series of tourist guides. Also take a look at: http://www.lonelyplanet.com/dest/sam/bra.htm http://www.pr.gov.br/turismo/indexi.html http://www.embratur.gov.br/embingl/sumario.html http://www.brazilwebtour.com/english/index.html http://www1.estado.com.br/english/english.html http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~sergiok/brasil.html#Welcome Curitiba is the capital city of Parana, a state located in southern Brazil. It has 1,300,000 inhabitants and its climate is temperate. Please remember that in August, it will be winter time in Curitiba, with average temperatures of 13oC (55 F). Lower temperatures, down to 2o C during the evening, are not uncommon at this time of the year. Curitiba has already celebrated its 300th anniversary and the city has counted on the contribution of Italian, German, Polish, Japanese and Ukrainian immigrants and their descendants to be a well-planned, clean and agreeable city. Though most of the conference activities will be concentrated in downtown Curitiba, which is not particularly attractive, try to visit some of its 16 large urban parks, 42 art galleries, 43 museums, 9 cultural centers, and 160 libraries during your stay in the city. Ask your hotel to explain the use of the Jardineira bus. It is a very cheap and nice way to get to know the whole city. Visas - It is the attendants' responsibility to make sure that their travel documents and any necessary visas are in good order. You are advised to contact the Brazilian embassy or consulate in your country to check about the need to apply for a visa. Brazilian visas are necessary for citizens of countries which require visas from Brazilian citizens. Visas are valid for a 90-day stay in Brazil. In case of doubt, additional information can be obtained at the nearest Brazilian Embassy or Consulate or from travel agencies. If you are not going to fly directly to Brazil, please check if you will need a transit visa. Collecting permits - Conference attendants who have stated that they are interested in collecting biological material during their stay in Brazil will receive personal information and instructions from the conference chairman (lana@aica.cem.ufpr.br), during the conference. Money, Insurance, Vaccinations - One US $ dollar is currently equivalent to about 1.2 R $ (real, the Brazilian currency). US cash dollars are much easier to trade, but traveller's checks are an insurance against loss. International credit cards like Visa, American Express and MasterCard are widely accepted. A travel insurance policy to cover medical problems, theft and loss is a wise idea. If you plan to visit the Amazon, a yellow fever vaccination is mandatory. Please do not forget to get your vaccination certificate or you will not be allowed to travel there. Flight connections - There are a number of daily flights from the Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Porto Alegre International Airports to the Curitiba International Airport. Please take a look at http://www.cem.ufpr.br/fisica/departur.htm. Mid- and post-conference tours The mid-conference tour will be carried out as described in the previous circular announcements. It will be free for all registered participants and registered accompanying persons but will not include lunch (about US $ 10.00, alcoholic or soft drinks not included). The Organizing Committee has arranged, through the Vanetour Turismo travel agency, a special travel and accommodation package for conference participants. Vanetour has scheduled a reasonably priced post-conference tour to Iguazu Falls, the Amazon and Fortaleza (northeastern Brazil) for a group of about 30 conference attendants and accompanying persons. Vanetour (vanetour.turismo@avalon.sul.com.br, c/o Elisabete Gavlovski) is the official travel agency for this conference. It is responsible for providing attendants with the best possible tourism services. However, Vanetour will not be liable for delayed flights, lost baggage, or other similar eventualities. Nonetheless, it will try to assist you as well as possible to solve problems of this nature. Information about the excursion is being sent privately to each registered participant. Associated workshop and course Two courses associated with the conference will be offered to students and other interested participants. A pre-conference Workshop on Polychaete Ecology is being organized by Dr. Paulo Paiva, from the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, in Arraial do Cabo, Rio de Janeiro, July 27-30, 1998. Information about the workshop can be obtained from Dr. Paiva (e-mail: pcpaiva@acd.ufrj.br, phone/fax + 55 21 560 5993 c/o Prof. Paulo Cesar de Paiva). Dr. Paiva has invited some keynote speakers (Drs Paul Schroeder, Pei-Yuan Qian, Hiroaki Tsutsumi, Edmundo Nonato, Cecilia Amaral, and Arno Blankensteyn), to present and discuss topics on polychaete ecology and comparative biology. A course on polychaete cladistics will be offered just after the conference. The staff includes Greg Rouse (University of Sydney, Organizer), Fredrik Pleijel (Swedish Museum of Natural History), Kristian Fauchald (Smithsonian Institution), Kirk Fitzhugh (Los Angeles County Museum), and Paulo Lana (Centro de Estudos do Mar, logistics). The course is mainly intended for postgraduate and early postdoctoral students. Currently we have 13 registered participants. There are still 5 vacancies. If you are interested, please register before July 15, with Paulo Lana (lana@aica.cem.ufpr.br). The course is scheduled to run from 9 August to 21 August. It will include 2 lectures each morning, followed by discussion groups until lunch/siesta. There will be lab sessions in the afternoon until dinner. Most evenings will be free. The course emphasis will be on systematics, with particular emphasis on cladistic methodology. Lectures will cover areas such as Polychaete Morphology, Diversity, Reproduction and 'Ecology', Philosophy of science, Introduction to Systematics, Cladistics methodology, Molecular and Morphological data, Classification, Species concepts, Biogeography, and Comparative methods. Several case studies involving polychaetes and cladistics will be provided. Discussion groups will follow from the morning lectures; one or two additional papers will be read at each meeting. Each participant will be involved in a project relevant to the course, either individually or in groups. Participants can bring their own material and data, or rely on the local polychaete fauna for the project. Over the first 5 days, lab sessions will involve Polychaete Morphology and Diversity, followed by exercises in Systematics. Instruction in the use of programs such as PAUP, Hennig86, MacClade and Clados will be provided. The remaining lab sessions will be devoted to the projects. The course will be held at the Centro de Estudos do Mar (Center for Marine Studies), in Pontal do Sul, 110 km from Curitiba. It will cost US $ 600.00 (if you have already paid the former price of US $ 700.00, you will be reimbursed). The fee includes accomodation (simple collective dorms up to 4 or 5 people, bed clothing included) and three meals a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) during the whole course, not including Saturdays and Sundays. Free cooking facilities will be available to participants. There are at least two small markets, and some very simple restaurants (average price of meals from US $ 5 to US $ 10) at a walking distance from the Center. BULLETIN OF MARINE SCIENCE - INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS (ADAPTED FOR CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS) Contributors to the conference should adhere strictly to the following instructions. Authors must submit an original and two copies of the manuscript complete with title page, figures, and tables (by registered air mail to Dr Reish, not later than 30 August 1998).

I will then pass your message to the bionet mailing system. I will advise you when this temporary procedure is no longer necessary. It should not be needed more than a day or two, a few days at most. The problem is that an anti-spam automatic filter system used by many organizations around the world (RBL - Realtime Blackhole List) is preventing mail forwarded from Bionet from reaching me. It will also be affecting some other list members (and thus they will not see this message - unless they read the www archive!) This ban on Bionet should be lifted soon.

Please read it carefully and if you still find any problems concerning your presentations, please send me a message as soon as possible. A last reminder: if you need to exchange money for your arrival, try to do it at the Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo airports, before taking your connection flights to Curitiba. Depending on your arrival time, it will be more difficult or impossible to do this at the Curitiba airport. The conference hotels will exchange cash or traveller's checks if they have enough Brazilian currency at the moment. If not, you will have to warn them with half an hour to one hour in advance. Automatic machines that serve international connections of banks (through major credit cards) are available at short walking distances of the hotels and conference venue. If you need them, just ask for a Banco 24 horas (24-hour bank) at your hotels. The easiest and cheapest way to make international phone calls is to buy a phone card, and use any phone in the street. You can buy phone cards in 'bancas de jornais' (kiosks that sell newspapers and magazines), bookshops, stationery shops, etc. Best regards, Paulo Lana (please reply to lana@aica.cem.ufpr.br; do not use the reply-to function) SIXTH INTERNATIONAL POLYCHAETE CONFERENCE REVISED CONFERENCE PROGRAMME All scientific sessions will be held in the Teatro da Reitoria.

Nowadays I'm a doctorate student at the Universidade Federal do Parana- Brazil and I intend to review the Gymnonereidinae subfamily, under Prof. Paulo Lana's supervision . I'm trying to get material from Museums and have had sucess with some institutions. But I still need material. If you have any specimens belonging to the genera below, please contact me. I'd appreciate it if you could bring this material to the conference if you planning to come. I hope to see you in Curitiba! Thank you in advance.
