CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE NEXT NEWSLETTER
Please send contributions for the next Newsletter, due out in February, to the Editor,
Mr Peter Harvey, 9 Kent Road, Grays, RM17 6DE by the end of December.
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.
