This volume is the result of a NATO Advanced Study Institute held
in England at Kingswood Hall of Residence, Royal Holloway College
(London University), Surrey, during the last two weeks of July,
1976. The ASI was organized within the guide lines laid down by the
Scientific Affairs Division of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization. During the past two decades, significant advances
have been made in our understanding of vertebrate evolution. The
purpose of the Institute was to present the current status of our
know ledge of vertebrate evolution above the species level. Since
the subject matter was obviously too broad to be covered adequately
in the limited time available, selected topics, problems, and areas
which are applicable to vertebrate zoology as a whole were
reviewed. The program was divided into three areas: (1) the theory
and methodology of phyletic inference and approaches to the an
alysis of macroevolutionary trends as applied to vertebrates; (2)
the application of these methodological principles and an alytical
processes to different groups and structures, particular ly in
anatomy and paleontology; (3) the application of these re sults to
classification. The basic principles considered in the first area
were outlined in lectures covering the problems of character
analysis, functional morphology, karyological evidence, biochemical
evidence, morphogenesis, and biogeography."
