				Announcement
 
	The following nine presentations have been accepted for the next
meeting of the Yuen Ren Society.  The meeting will be held in conjunction
with the 206th meeting of the American Oriental Society, itself held in
Philadelphia between 17-20 March, 1996.  The YRS meeting will probably
last one full morning and part of an afternoon, and the date and time will
be announced in January.  Each speaker has half an hour per presentation,
including questions from the audience.

Chinese dialects, mostly from dialects not previously described in

beginning in late January as well as at the meeting.
