Thanks, Jose. I may have to vanish soon for a few days anyway, between
field work and family matters. For anyone who wants to try their college
library for the edition that will be obsolete in a few months, it is:

Ride, W. D. L., Sabrosky, C. W., Bernardi, G., and Melville, R. V.
(assisted by Corliss, J. O., Forest, J., Key, K. H. L., and Wright, C. W.),
1985, International Code of Zoological Nomenclature, third edition, adopted
by the XX General Assembly of the International Union of Biological
Sciences: International Trust for Zoological Nomenclature in association
with British Museum (Natural History), London, & University of California
Press, Berkeley and Los Angeles, xx + 338 pp. No illustrations, but the
title IS printed in gold on a bright red cover.

A word of warning to Conchlers: This is a legal code, and as such it is a
stultifyingly boring book. It is concerned with the rules and mechanics of
naming animals--not with how or why taxonomists work on animals. It is a
 bilingual book: The lefthand pages are in French, the righthand pages in
English.
