5 CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE NEXT NEWSLETTER Please send contributions for the next Newsletter, due out in August, to the Editor, Mr Peter Harvey, 9 Kent Road, Grays, RM17 6DE by the middle of July. Remember that the production of the Newsletter depends on contributions from members. I am sure that many members must have news, observations or the results of fieldwork that would be of interest to others. If text has been typed on a PC computer then a disk with the file would be very helpful. ESSEX MOTH GROUP The above group has recently started.
