FUTURE OF MUDPIE

With Jim's death, MUDPIE lacks an editor and publisher.
If MUDPIE is to continue, we need a volunteer to take over
the production of MUDPIE. Since the MUDPIE membership is
not organized as a voting society, the first person to
volunteer will receive the MUDPIE files, library, and
responsibilities. Please address your correspondence to
G. Zug, Division of Reptiles and Amphibians, National
Museum of Natural History, Washington, D. C. 20560.
