This is an announcement for the 1996 Paleontological Society Short Course "The Biology and Paleobiology of Corals". This short course, featuring an international faculty listed below, will be presented free of charge on Sunday, October 27 before the start of the Geological Society of America annual meeting in Denver, Colorado. A series of notes written by the faculty will be available for purchase at the Denver Convention Center meeting place.
