The international Ecology Institute (ECI) has a staff of 43 ecologists - marine, terrestrial and limnetic - all of high professional reputation. Neither the director nor any member of the scientific staff receives remuneration. Every year a jury composed of ECI members selects prize winners among marine, terrestrial or limnetic ecologists. In 1992, prize winners will be selected in the field of marine ecology. ECI strives to (1) further the exchange of information between marine, terrestrial and limnetic ecologists; (2) compensate for the lack of balance between analyzing and synthesizing research efforts and thus help to provide more feedback and critical overview for ecological sciences; (3) draw the attention of scientists, administrators, politicians and the general public to important issues resulting from ecological research; (4) assist in finding a long-term compromise between the increasingly destructive potential of modern industrial societies and the need for defining and applying measures to protect nature, commensurate with achieving and sustaining the highest possible living standard for man.
Taking into account these aims, as well as his or her own field of interest, the winner of the ECI Prize is requested to author a 200 to 300 printed-page book, to be published by ECI in the series 'Excellence in Ecology' (EE) and to be made available worldwide at cost price. A considerable number of books are donated to libraries in Developing Countries. EE's concept is different from that of textbooks. In addition to reviewing a certain field of knowledge, it gives the authors a chance to express their personal views on important ecological issues, to interpret current scientific knowledge on the basis of their own experience and insight, and to tell us what, in their opinion, should be done in the future.
While there are several international prizes offered now in ecology, the ECI Prize is unique for 2 reasons: (1) it was established and is financed by research ecologists; (2) the prize gives and takes: it both honors the recipient and requires him/her to serve science, which has a greater need now than ever before for critical syntheses of the state of the art. The ECI Prize is endowed with a stipend of US $ 5000. A second prize may be awarded honoring a young (not older than 40 years) ecologist who has conducted and published results of uniquely independent, original and/or challenging research representing an important scientific breakthrough: the IRPE Prize (International Recognition of Professional Excellence); the IRPE Prize is endowed with a stipend of US $ 750.

SELECTION PROCEDURES FOR ECI and IRPE PRIZE:
Nominations are welcome from all research ecologists. They should reach the Chairperson of the ECI Jury (see below) before July 31, 1992. Eligible are all ecologists engaged in scientific research (except ECI's director and the Jury's chairperson; Jury members nominated will be replaced by other ECI members). The Jury will select the Prize Winner using the nominations received, as well as their own knowledge of top performers, and their own professional judgment.

The British Ecological Society was founded in April 1913, when it replaced the British Vegetation Com- mittee (founded in 1904). The objects of the Society are to advance the education of the public and to advance and support research in the subject of ecology as a branch of natural science, and to disseminate the results of such research. It does this by publishing the Journal of Ecology, the Journal of Animal Ecology, the Journal (?f Applied Ecology, Functional Ecology and a Bulletin for members, and by holding regular meetings and symposia on subjects of current ecological inter- est. At present these are held in December, March or April, and July, in various places. The meeting in March or April is a symposium and that in July is devoted primarily to excursions to places of ecological interest. Additional meetings are organized by six specialist groups.
MEMBERSHIP of the Society is open to all, whether or not they reside in the British Isles, who are genuinely and personally interested in Ecology and wish to
