Coelacanth ad hoc Committee

1967-1968

Scope and content

File SZ/RS/14 relates to the activities of an ad hoc committee set up by Council "to put forward a scheme for discussion with the National Academy of Sciences, Washington, for participation in a joint (French, UK, USA) study of the coelacanth, if considered appropriate" [Document CC/4(68)]. SZ was a member of the Committee from its creation until 1968, but was rarely able to attend meetings. He did try to persuade the Committee to extend its remit to other 'living fossils' but the Committee considered that Latimeria (coelacanth) was a special case.
