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 grateful

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 grateful
to M.A. Preston,

INTRODUCTION
the alphabetical list of palaeow.
This directory is divided into three majo :. pats:
tologists with the available essential information, the indices of specializations, and the
4
regional list of institutions employing palaeontologists.
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 are added (in parenthesis). A few entries
had to be simplified from the questionnaires for reasons of economy.
The Index of Selected Disciplines was restricted to a few less common fields
such as polymorphism and sexual dimorphism, functional morphology, palaeocology of
reef building organisms, fossilization, techniques, and hiometry. The other items under
this part of the questionnaire were too large to be meaningful in this context. The pro-
portional distribution of these disciplines for regional groups varies, in general, similarly
