IGUANA Copyright ©2005 by The International Reptile Conservation Foundation, 3010 Magnum Drive, San Jose, CA 95135 USA. ISSN # 1098-6324. The contents of IGUANA, excluding Research
Articles, Research Updates, and reprinted articles, may be reproduced for inclusion in the newsletters of other herpetological societies, provided the material is reproduced without change and with appro-
priate credits, and a copy of the publication is sent to The International Reptile Conservation Foundation. Occasional exceptions may be made to this policy.

Publisher’s Remarks
The International Reptile Conservation Foundation (IRCF) would like to welcome members of the now
dissolved International Iguana Society. The IRCF will continue to publish the journal, IGUANA, and
expand on the original mission of the IIS by striving to preserve reptiles and their habitats through the
support of conservation efforts, educational programs, and scientific research that promote the welfare of
natural ecosystems.

The IRCF provides support to conservation and research programs throughout the world, and pro-
motes conservation awareness in schools, at special events and conventions, on television, and through its
public website, Cyclura.com. Among others, the IRCF has assisted the Blue Iguana Recovery Program,
Conservation Project Utila Iguana, Turtle Survival Alliance, Chinese Alligator Fund, International
Conservation Fund for the Fijian Crested Iguana, and Anegada Iguana recovery efforts.

As a member of the IRCF, you will continue to receive our quarterly journal, IGUANA. While con-
tinuing to focus on iguanas, content of the journal will reflect the broader mandate of the IRCF as
described by the addition of Conservation, Natural History, and the Husbandry of Reptiles below the
title. As in previous issues, IGUANA will continue to provide regular feature articles, species profiles, hus-
bandry, profiles of prominent herpetologists and conservationists, historical perspectives, book reviews,
and newsbriefs. Beginning with this issue, we also will include travelogues that feature herpetologically
interesting places throughout the world, commentaries on topics important to conservation, summaries
of current reptile conservation efforts, and a “Focus on Conservation” that will highlight a specific con-
servation effort worthy of your support.

Membership dues for IGUANA will remain $25 per year for our domestic and Canadian members,
while the price for international members will be raised to $50 to cover the expense of mailing the jour-
nal overseas. Both domestic and international members will have the option of receiving a digital version
of the journal in Abode PDF format for $25. The latter can be downloaded on demand, and notification
of each new issue will be sent to digital subscribers via email. The Adobe PDF is optimized for web pub-
lishing and does not provide the quality and resolution of the archival printed version, especially notice-
able in photographs and complex graphics.

We at the IRCF look forward to your continuing support. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you
have any questions.

— John Binns, President, IRCF

Erratum: On p. 214 of the December 2004 issue of IGUANA, the photograph labeled “Cyclura cychlura
figginsi” actually portrays a concentration of Allen Cays Iguanas (C. c. inornata) on Leaf Cay.
