proceedings of the XII INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF ARACHNOLOGY BRISBANE MEMOIRS OF THE VOLUME 33 1 1 NOVEMBER, 1993 QUEENSLAND MUSEUM PART 2 <PfR£J:ftCE The preparation for this International Congress was superbly managed by two Organising Committees. All members worked very hard and I am very grateful for their cooperation. The Western Australian Museum was the centre of theScientific and Publications Committee of Dr Mark S. Harvey, Dr Bill R Humphreys, and Dr Barbara York Main inis group, lead by Mark Harvey, formed a fine team who very capably managed all scientific and publication matters from manuscript submission to acceptance through the Congress program and photographic awards. The local Organising Committee included Dr Valerie Davies (Secretary), and Ms Tracey Churchill, Ms Jan Green 1 y Mr Phl1 LawIess and \7t? k!T myself That group managed diverse aspects of Congress organisation Mr David% Nebauer assisted committee members during the registration process. My preparation was initially assisted by Ms Julie Gallon. In July 1 99 Mr Philip Lawless 1 „ took up the reins from Julie and proved to be a very dedicated and astute lieutenant. Emeritus Professor George Davies assisted the Secretary throughout the entire Congress period. Delegates from Russia, Kazakhstan, The People's Republic of China, Madagascar, Mexico, Hungary India Belgium, North America, Germany, and Namibia were provided with varying degrees of sponsorship by the Queensland Museum Board of Trustees and sponsors. Their travel arrangements, often highly complex and problem-rich, were very capably managed by Ms Joanne Lavelle, then of State of Corporate Travel. Many a Congress delegate will no doubt fondly remember the Committee reception at the International airport. Several appreciated the kind hospitality of 4 Mr Tony Luck, Microrim (Australia), of Camira, in an Aussie barbeque' before the Congress. Organisation of the Post-Congress tour to Cape Tribulation, was greatly facilitated by the much appreciated contributions of Ms Linda Stanley, Ms Esther Cullen, and Cliff and Gail Truelove. Editorial assistance was provided by Ms Gudrun Sanies, Philip Lawless and Mr Neale Hall. The Congress organisers very gratefully acknowledge the financial donations of Australian Geographic Magazine Western Australian Museum, Amalgamated Pest Control Australian Museum, Museum of Victoria South Australian Museum, Commonwealth Bank, University of Queensland-Entomology & Zoology Departments Griffith University-School of Australian Environmental Sciences, QANTAS Airlines, Australasian Arachnologicai Society, CSIRO, Division of Entomology, and the British Council. Financial support was also received from International Conference Support (loan) and the Australian Tourist Commission. The Queensland Museum Board of Trustees provided generous support for the Congress and the publication of these proceedings. Robert J.
