International Phycological Society Treasurers: the first fifty years

Following the example provided by Michael J. Wynne and William J. Woelkerling in their articles on the Presidents of the International Phycological Society (IPS) (Wynne & Woelkerling 2001, 2011), and in parallel with an article of the Secretaries of the IPS (Prasad 2011), I have prepared a collection of photographs and very brief biographical sketches for all of the Treasurers of the International Phycological Society except for those who have been ‘presented’ in the Presidents article and/or the Secretaries article in this issue. I offer sincere thanks to many who helped by providing information and/or photos including some of the former treasurers themselves and, inter alia, Carolyn J. Bird, Michael Melkonian, Akshinthala K. S. K. Prasad, Gary W. Saunders, and Michael J. Wynne. Despite the best efforts of all involved, this article will not have escaped some errors and omissions, and there may be some far better high-resolution photographs of IPS Treasurers than those used in this article. Thus, the author will be more than willing to accept corrections, suggestions, and photographs to provide an enhanced starting point when in the years ahead, such a review of IPS Treasurers is once again prepared for Phycologia.
