Special Papers in Palaeontology

This monograph series accommodated:

• single papers that were longer than would have been accepted in Palaeontology;
• thematic collections or other sets of articles. The subject of any thematic set had to have been of broad interest.

The thematic issues were usually managed by one or more 'guest editors', who worked closely with the Editor-in-Chief to deliver the thematic set. The guest editors were expected to write a short introduction to the volume. Their names appear as the editors for each of these volumes.
