Re: SVPCA 51 TALKS, sad correction



Hi Darren and other listmembers,
I do not think that anyone is planning to leave Australia only to listen my speech, but anyway, I have to be honest and inform listmembers that, due to abrupt shrinkage of funds, I will not be able to attend the SVPCA meeting, thus my talk on european (UK!) drepanosaurids will be deleted. What a shame (for me).
If that topic is of interest to anyone, however, a short paper (along with Nick Fraser) should be out in the september issue of JVP. I will be also happy to eventually discuss about this either on the list or privately.
Sigh,
