Two October Meetings will be held, both 
addressing Bight’98 problems and specimens. 
The first, on non-polychaete topics, in San 
Diego on October 18; and the second on 
polychaete topics at the Worm Lab at the Los 
Angeles County Museum of Natural History on 
October 25. Be prepared to roll up your sleeves 
and dig deeply into our problem taxa. We will 
be done shortly with sample identification, and 
QC re-identification will begin in earnest.
