Notes and News: International Register of Computer Projects in Systematics

Sponsored by The International Association For Plant Taxonomy, and The Society of Systematic Zoology. These two international associations are the prime sponsors of an International Register of Computer Projects In Systematics. For the purpose of the Register, systematics includes taxonomy, biosystematics, evolution, and biogeography of all biological taxa; the Register also welcomes information about nonbiological data files of use to systematics (e.g., the long range weather data tapes of the U.S. Weather Bureau). For the present, our project is a Register, which hopefully can direct people to the source of information desired. Depending on demand, it could be extended into a repository and clearing house for computerized files of systematic value.
