However, at the beginning of this millennium year it is wholly appropriate that we look back upon where paleontology is right now, where is has been in the past, and where it might go in the future. This discussion will make use of both the listserver and the PaleoNet WWW Pages. New articles will follow in the order presented in the Table of Contents at a rate of one per week.

Paleontology faces many challenges in the coming century.
It is only by talking to each other, by listening to each other, and by moving from talk to action that those challenges will be met. It seems to be the season for promoting Masters programmes, so I will do just that for the Masters in Palaeobiology in Bristol. I would like to welcome enquiries from students in all countries, especially from North America. This degree course has been running for three years now, and it is proving successful in placing people into PhD programmes. Six of the students were British, and one was a US citizen.
