As a follow-up to the "Malacological Pioneers" meeting in October 1994, The Malacological Society of London has organised a second all-day meeting in the rooms of the Linnean Society, Burlington House, Piccadilly, London. The theme will examine the gradual professionalisation of malacology and changing role of the amateur during the early part of this century. The invited speakers include: David Allen, Robert Cameron, Laurence Cook, Nick Evans, Ian Killeen, John Messenger, Brian Morton, Jim Murray and Graham Oliver.

The meeting will be co-hosted by the Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland, the Linnean Society of London and The Society for the History of Natural History. It is planned to start the meeting with coffee at 10 a.m. and to follow it with a wine reception, ending with an informal dinner.
