FROM FAR AND WIDE BIOLOGICAL COUNCIL GRANTS IN SUPPORT OF STUDENT EXPEDITIONS Each year the Biological Council awards a number of grants to students (postgraduate , under-graduate or school) who are planning to make expeditions the following year. The individual grants are not large (somewhere between £ 100 and £250 depending on the number of expeditions considered worthy of support) but they provide a valuable lever when applying to other sources such as industrial firms . Grants have been awarded to groups going as far afield as Brazil and New Guinea, but so long as the project can be categorized as an expedition there seems to be no reason why a foray to one of the remoter parts of the United Kingdom should not qualify . For the last two years the British Mycological Society has had a representative on the awards subcommittee who has noted that no mycological applications have been presented . This representative will be serving a third and final year in 1985, so here is a chance to redress the balance and put in a mycological showing! Application forms are obtainable on request from Mrs Barbara Cavilla, General Office, Biological Council, c/o Institute of Biology, 20 Queensberry Place, London SW7 2DZ, and the closing date for 1985 awards is 31 December 1984. INDIVIDUALS INVITED TO JOIN NOMENCLATURE SUBCOMMITTEES The Special Committee for Fungi and Lichens of the International Association for Plant Taxonomy invites all interested botanists to join one or more of their new working subcommittees on proposals for changes in the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. Four subcommittees will begin work immediately, and exchange comments by mail . The work of the subcommittees will need to be completed by January 1986 if changes are to be enacted at the 1987 International Botanical Congress. Readers interested in serving on subcommittees should so advise the convener of the subcommittee(s) : SUBCOMMITTEE A: (Taxa that may be treated in different taxonomic groups now specified under Art. 13.1(d) when such groups have different sanctioning authors) . Convener: Dr Vincent Demoulin, Departernent de Bot anique, Universite de Liege, Sart Tilman, B-4000 Liege, Belgium. SUBCOMMITTEE B: (Citation and transfer of sanctioned names under Art. 13.1(d) and Rec. 50E.2). Convener: Dr David L Hawksworth, Commonwealth Mycological Institute, Ferry Lane, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AF, England. SUBCOMMITTEE C: (Other problems with Art. 13 and the starting-point for nomenclature of fungi and lichens, and with Art. 59 on pleomorphic fungi). Convener: Dr Walter Gams, Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures, POBox 273,3740 AG Baarn , The Netherlands. SUBCOMMITTEE D: (Fossil Fungi) Convener: Dr Don R Reynolds, Natural History Museum, 900 Exposition Boulevard, Los Angeles CA 90007, USA. (Prepared by: Richard P Korf, Secretary, IAPT Special Committee for Fungi and Lichens, Plant Pathology , Cornell Univ., Ithaca, NY 14853 USA.)
