My task was to carry
out the entomological
studies, in particular
to study various
caterpillars and
butterflies peculiar to
South America. My interest
in mammals was somewhat
frustrated in the Amazon
A Rare Basin, where persistent
Helicopis Butterfly hunting and a reduction
in the areas of tropical
forest, has made them very difficult to observe.
However we brought back many adventures during
our three month stay in Brazil and I look
forward to telling you about them on February
25th. at the Field Club meeting.

READING CIRCLE
Will those wishing to remain on the
reading circle please re-register with Mrs
Dark at 74 Warescot Road, Brentwood 214797.
A lot of interesting material is sent out on
the circle but somebody has been holding on
to the last two issues or maybe has moved
without informing us, so that it has not been
passed on. Others are of course welcome to
register.
