Addresses that have changed since the last edition of this list will be
marked with an asterix ('*') at the beginning of the line. Those
listed as 'NO ADDRESS' are societies that have possibly moved or became
defunct, so the address I had listed isn't any good.
Originally compiled by the Northern Ohio Association of Herpetologists
and published on the HerpNet Bulletin Board System (circa 1992).
