Re:    Treatise on Invertebrate Paleontology, Bivalve volumes
	  Informal meeting in Portand, Oregon on October 18, 2009

	Dear Colleagues,

	A great deal of preparatory work has been done for publication of  
the revised edition of Part N (6) Bivalvia of the Treatise on  
Invertebrate Paleontology.  The new bivalve treatise
will be the first in its series to appear both online and in the  
conventional treatise format.

	The Portland meeting of the Geological Society of America provides  
an opportunity for people working on this project to meet, for new  
contributors to sign up, and for others to learn more about this work.

	Roger and I are still recruiting authors for detailed systematic  
treatments of some families.

	At this meeting, we will discuss the preparation of an NSF proposal  
to support systematic studies of individual families or  
superfamilies.  We will also discuss academic year and summer funding  
opportunities at UNC Chapel Hill for such studies as masters thesis  
and/or doctoral dissertation topics.

	We will meet in Room F149 at the Oregon Convention Center at 5:00  
p.m. on Sunday, October 18, 2009.

	We look forward to seeing those of you who can participate in this  
gathering next month.

         Kind regards,    Joe and Roger
