Earlier in this issue we reported on a review of the
first 25 years of the Biological Survey, so it seems appropriate to look
back too at the first 22 years of this newsletter. Below is a list of titles
from back issues.
Regularly occurring features such as List of Requests for
Material or Information (each Spring issue), The Quiz Page (each issue
starting 1988), Quips and Quotes (each issue), Selected Publications (each
Fall issue), Selected Future Conferences (each issue starting Fall 1995),
and the list of Members of the Scientific Committee (each Fall issue) are
not listed.
In 1997 the newsletter was also posted on the Survey’s
website, where the Fall 1997 and subsequent issues are still available. For
information about back issues prior to that please contact the Survey
Secretariat.
