Re: ot: more sunshine
Hi Cliff, I didn't know that this Osborn classic had
been reprinted-- I fortunately have access to an
original set, and it's been indespensible for my doing
some new reconstructions of early brontotheres for a
series of John Day Formation murals to be painted by
Larry Felder. Do you know whether Osborn's Proboscidea
was also reprinted? I'd sure like to have this. --Mark
