I spoke with Carter Gilbert today 2/21/97. Carter is behind schedule but is more than half through with the book, which he says is a real contribution. He'll get back on it as soon as he gets out from under some additional work that must take priority.*** I plan on attending the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists annual meeting in Seattle at the end of June, and hope to see lots of friends there. - Bob Goldstein
