European
Association for Zoological Nomenclature (EAZN)
The
European Association for Zoological Nomenclature (EAZN) was set
up in 1992 with the following aims:
to
facilitate the work of the Commission by providing funds;
-
to
promote liaison between the zoological community and the Commission;
-
to
promote and compile works relevant to zoological nomenclature;
-
to
disseminate information on zoological nomenclature to those
institutions, organisations and individuals requesting it.
Europe
has a great and long tradition in zoological systematics, and European
scientists generate much of the Commission's important work. All
European zoologists, and those who use scientific names of animals,
are invited to support the Commission by joining EAZN. The
annual membership is set at the equivalent of £20 for individuals
and £40 for institutions. Members will receive a Newsletter
which will be issued at least annually, and more often if required.
They also benefit from considerable reductions in the price of
the Commission's publications - the Code,
the Official Lists and
Indexes of Names and Works in Zoology, and the 1995
Centenary History entitled Towards
Stability in the Names of Animals.
The
President of EAZN is Dr W. Böhme (Museum Alexander
Koenig, Bonn, Germany) and the Secretary is Dr D. Agosti (Research
Associate, American Museum of Natural History and Smithsonian Institution).
