The Echinoderm Newsletter 1 No. 2. August, 19^9 Prepared in the Division of Echinoderms, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. 20560 U.S.A. The response to the Echinoderm Newsletter No. 1 was encouraging. We mailed 200 copies, and received more than 100 replies. Those who did reply were strongly in favor of the venture, and this was a source of encouragement We realize that several specialists who have not as yet replied to the questionnaire may have forgotten to do so and we would like to urge that they reply as soon as possible, so that information on their current pro- jects and publications can be included in Newsletter No. 3. We regret the delay in producing this issue, and fondly hope that No. 3 will not have such a difficult birth as did No. 2. Future issues of the Newsletter will probably be organized in a similar way to this one, but we hope to add a new section with the title “Research Notes" in which short paragraphs contributed by you can be included. Why not send us a contri- bution now? Included with this Newsletter is a directory of echinoderm specialists. The list comprises more than 300 names, and is growing rapidly. Please notify us of any changes or corrections so that they can be incorporated into the next Newsletter. The Newsletter has a wide circulation, and you can be sure that your research notes, offers, requests, etc., will reach a wide and interested audience. David L. Paws on Maureen E. Downey i 1 The Echinoderm Newsletter is not part of the scientific literature, and should not be cited, abstracted, or reprinted as a published document. - 2 - Zoological Record Miss Ailsa Clark of the British Museum (Natural History) has sent us the following information on the Zoological Record: - I would like to start by making an apology for the lengthening time lag between year ' s end and the appearance of the appropriate part of the Re cord , which is now well over 18 months. The ever increasing volume of literature received by the libraries, together with the shortage of Searchers to scan every publication and write the author slips £6r the individual Recorders to consult and analyze, means that a significant proportion of the literature is not brought to my attention until over 12 months after publication. (Add to this some dilatoriness on my own part in completing the basic writing up so that the sorting of the subject and systematic sections is lately deferred to iny Easter holiday, rather than the preceding Christmas, and the delay is enhanced.) The other sections are in much the same state and it would not help to hand over the Echinoderm Section to the full-time recorders, who are even more behind with most sections owing the progressive reduction in the number of part-time workers discouraged by the increasing size of the job. It would help a lot if more people would send a copy of their papers to me as requested in the first Newsletter and I am very grateful to those who have already responded to this; there is so much competition for our library copies from museum staff as well as from the other Recorders, apart from withdrawal for book-binding at crucial times, that inevitably some papers have to be deferred beyond their proper year of entry. The Record itself has grown so much that I am considering drastically reducing the entries in the subject index as far as experimental physiology and embryology go, since in many cases the titles of the papers give, sufficient clue to their contents and the use of echinoderms as raw material is often mainly incidental. I propose to do this, reverting to the pre-195^ format, from the 1968 number, unless a significant number of interested parties write to request continuation of the present amount of detail; after all the Record is intended to cater mainly for systematists . If anyone else has comments or improvements to suggest (without significantly increasing the labor involved), I would be very interested to hear from them' Ailsa Clark, British Museum (Nat.

A second list includes objective synonymies of all species of Pterotocrinus, plus : information on type repositories.
