This Ludbrook Honour Volume, containing twenty-four scientific papers by Australian and overseas authors, has been compiled as a tribute to the work of Dr Ludbrook in the field of palaeontology. Nell joined SADM in 1952, where she worked until retirement in 1967. Since then she has been retained by the Department as a consultant in palaeontology. Her 1984 publication - Quaternary Molluscs in South Australia - (SADME Handbook no. 9) - is recognised as one of the finest publications of its type. A majority of the papers presented here deal with systematic palaeontology of the kind promoted by Dr Ludbrook in her work, and serve to reflect the relationship between accurate taxonomy and its increasingly valuable applications in biostratigraphy. The Honour Volume has been printed with both colour and black duotone specimen photographs to enhance the excellent papers and help produce a quality publication.
