Draft BioCode: Royal Ontario Museum, Canada. Following review by the members of the IUBS/IUMS International Committee on Bionomenclature who had prepared the initial draft in 1995, and by others involved in committees dealing with biological nomenclature, the Draft BioCode is now being made available to the general scientific public. It was published in the May 1996 issue of Taxon (45: 349-372) and can be consulted electronically through a Listserver at University of California, Berkeley, U.S.A. (biocode@cmsa.berkeley.edu; subscribe to listserv@cmsa.berkeley.edu)3, and on the World Wide Web at the Royal Ontario Museum, Toronto, Canada.
