Associate curator Porter M. Kier completed a taxonomic study of the echinoids from the Tamiami and Caloosahatchee Formations, and the cassiduloid echinoid section of the "Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology.'' Dr. Kier has also begun a revision of the systemat- ics of the Paleozoic echinoids, including descriptions of many new forms. A particular effort is being made to discover evolutionary trends within this group, so that a more natural classification can be made. Associate curator Erie G. Kauffman in October spent two weeks studying at the Geological Survey in Denver, Colo,, working on joint studies of Cretaceous pelecypods and stratigraphy with W. A. Cobban of the Survey, and making a general review of the collections.
