ITIS Contributors

[Gladys Cotter]

In our TAXACOM posting of October 5, 1998 we failed to specifically mention the
following individuals who are contributing data to ITIS:

John Kartesz, Vascular Plants

Robert Egan, Lichens

Marshall Crosby, Mosses

Ray Stotler, Liverworts & Hornworts

Barbara Crandall-Stotler, Liverworts & Hornworts

We apologize for this oversight.   We  hope that you understand that this
omission does not reflect our view of the importance of our data contributors.
