New Zealand Journal of Zoology abstracts

Editorial

Fourteen of the 16 papers in this issue are based upon presentations made at the Second World Congress of Herpetology, which was held on the Adelaide City campus of the University of Adelaide, South Australia, from 29 December 1993 to 6 January 1994. Ten of the papers are drawn from a special Congress symposium, "Threatened New Zealand Species". The Congress attracted nearly 800 delegates and partners from over 50 countries, including 19 New Zealanders who contributed 26 papers. The two papers in this issue not presented at the Congress -- genetic and cytogenetic diversity in Hochstetter's frog, and egg production by tuatara -- came from a general request for New Zealand herpetological contributions.
