35th Annual Meeting of the Kansas Herpetological Society

The 35th annual meeting of the Kansas Herpetological Society will be held 8-9 November
2008 in William Penn Hall on the campus of Friends University in Wichita, Kansas. Effective
immediately, the Society is accepting titles for talks to be presented at the meeting.

The KHS annual meeting provides a opportunity for herpetologists and other individuals
who have an intellectual interest in amphibians, reptiles, and turtles to come together for
scientific lectures and friendly intellectual discussion. There is ample opportunity for
socializing in a collegial and supportive atmosphere. The keynote speaker for this year's
meeting is Dr. Ronald Bonett (University of Tulsa, Oklahoma). Registration is only $10.00
and the beer is free.

Looking for an alternative to costly national herpetological meetings held in large cities
with way too many non-herpetological registrants (and where you have only a cash bar)?
Try the KHS. Regional meetings are the future.

Individuals wishing to present a paper at the KHS meeting should submit their title as an
email no later than 1 October 2008 to Joe Collins (jcollins@ku.edu) for posting on the KHS
web site and inclusion in the program. Be sure to note whether your presentation is a
candidate for The Collins Award (must be primarily about Kansas herpetofauna) and/or
The Toland Award (must be a KHS student member). These will be flagged in the program
and on the annual meeting web site.
