Listed' under Part 1 are name andbusiness ,address, malor and minor regional specializations, disciplinary specializations, and major and minor systematic specializationwith respective geoloigical ages. Part 2 (Indices) usually include major specializations only. The Index of Selected Disciplines were restricted to a few less commonfields such as polymorphism and sexual dimorphism, functional morphology, fossilization, techniques, and biometry. TheIndex of Regional Specializations is subdivided by geologic eras and periods. The Indexof Systematic SpeCializationsisusually limited to ordinal leVels and subdivided by geologic ages. The list of Institutions Employing Palaeontologists is in alphabetical order according to city and country. The names of employed paleontologists are* listed under their employing institution.

Directory of 4.7 PALAEONTOLOGISTS 46^ of the World (excl. Soviet Union & continental China) 2nd edition 1968 Compiled by G.E.G. Westermann Printed and Distributed by McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada PR EFACE At the 20th session of the International Geological Congress in Mexico, 1956, the International Palaeontological Union decided to compile the first Directory of Palaeon- tolog*s of the World.In 1960 J. Roger, then I.P.U. Secretary, with the help of others at home and abroad, published the "Liste des Pal&ntologistes du Monde". This achieve- ' ment provided a previously unknown means of communication among representatives and friends of our profession. However, the large number of colleagues from the Soviet Uni,an and continental China were missing. The success of the first Directory led to the decision during the 22nd .I.G.C. ses- sion in New Delhi, 1964, to publish a second edition. The I.P.U. president, M.R. Sahni asked me to act as chairman of the committee: Directory of Palaeontologists of the World (and Inventory of Fossil Coilections) and a number of concerned colleagues aided me in the distribution of more than 12,000 questionnaires of which over 3,000 were returned. While I thank all who helped me, I am especially gratefulto B. Boutek, Czechoclovakian Academy of Science, Prague (Data r e tri ev al from Eastern Europe except U.S.S.R.); Mme. N.P. Ludbrook, Department of Mines, Adelaide, Australia (Data retrieval from Aust- ralia and Oceania); F. Takai, Geological Institute, University of Tokyo, Japan (Data re- 1 trieval from Asia except U.S.S.R. and cont. China); R. Reyrnent, Palaeontological Insti- tut, University of Uppsala, Sweden (Data r e tri ev al from Western Europe and Africa); E. YOchelson, U.S. Geological Survey, Washington, D.C., U.S.A. (General consultant for compilation and advertising, aiding in data retrieval from U.S.A.). A number of other persons must remain anonymous, but I wish to thank in parti- cular the secretaries of palaeontological associations and societies, and the directors of scientific institutions who also aided in the data retrieval. I am gratefulto M.A. Preston, Dean of GYaduate Studies, and to D.M. Hedden, Vice-president, Administration, McMaster University, who arranged for full-time secretarial aid through the ten months of compi- lation.Without this assistance the Directory could not have been produced since the I.P.U. treasury was depleted 13ST the pri n ti ng and distribution of the questionnaires. I regret sincerely that the numerous colleagues from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics and from continental China are again missing from this Directory, in spite of severalattempts to include them. The U.S.S.R. is publishing simultaneously a similar directory of her own palaeontologists; I had hoped to incorporate at least part of it into this Directory and am sorry that this was impossible:only a handfull of 1,200 question- naires sent were returned. Early in the analysis of the'questionnaire returns, it became apparent that what I had hoped would be an efficient retrieval system of information which could be handled by untrained technical aid, was not so:it is just as difficult to classify palaeontologists as any other "populations" and this was further complicated by "pigeon-holing" of the information.In addition, the information was much more diverse than anticipated defying storage on single key-hole or even compu ter punch cards since the returns indicated "major specializations" in up to 35 different major taxa of all the different geological periods. Although key-hole punch cards were produced for each person, most information was retrieved from them by visual inspection. r I believe that an up-to-date world directory of palaeontologists.is of great value to our field and I hope that a new edition will be published every four years to coincide with each international Geological Congress session. Many of the financial worries, involved in the production of the Directory would be alleviated by its pre-financing by raised I.P.U. 1r membership fees; my experiences in attempting to obtain financial support from several 1 major oil companies, national and international unions and government agencies have shown it is unrealistic to expect aid from outside establishments. The essential information regarding change of address or specialization and ad- ditions should be sent at least one year prior to publication to the regional representa- tives of the c omm i t te e.H. Camacho, Dept. of Geology, University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, has kindly agreed to represent Central and South America, while Mme. N.P. Ludbrook (see above) will con ti nue to serve unofficially for Australia and Oceania. A world directory such as this one, particularly if it is produced almost without financial funds, can not be free of errors.In defence, I can say only that there are as few errors as possible and that I accept sole responsibility for any omissions or mistakes.

The Alphabetical List of Palaeontologists includes name and business addrest- where available, otherwise home address, followed in sequence by major and minor (ir parenthesis) regional specializations, disciplinary specializations, and major and minor (in parenthesis) systematic specialization with respective geological ages. The Indices usually include major specializations only, except for poorly repre- sented items for which minor specializations
