     As you may know, the Sixth North American Paleontological Convention 
     (NAPC) will be held at the Smithsonian Museum in Washingto DC on June 
     9-12, 1996.  The Industry Paleontology Managers Group (IPMG) has 
     proposed a number of applications-oriented symposia at the NAPC.  
     Stratigraphic paleontologists have often been under represented at the 
     NAPCs in the past and we hope to address this problem in 1996 by 
     providing sessions that will attract stratigraphically and 
     quantitatively oriented paleontologists.  
     
     The Organizing Committee is now requesting that we assemble a 
     symposium around the proposed topic "Quantitative Stratigraphic 
     Paleontology". Eight to sixteen volunteered contributions to this 
     symposium can be accommodated depending on whether it is a half or 
     full day long.  
     
     We are soliciting participation by those interested and requesting a 
     tentative title for your contribution by the end of May, 1995.  It is 
     important that we have your title by then so as to demonstrate 
     sufficient interest for the Organizing Committee to carry the 
     symposium forward to the Second Circular.  We hope you can help make 
     this a successful symposium and promote the quantitiative approach to 
     stratigraphic paleontology.
