The deadline has expired for contributions for the 2000 issue of Glaucus. The final copy is still in the course of preparation (it is late).
The Glaucus 2000 CD-ROM is still under preparation as well. With both Glaucus and the CD-ROM, I could have rushed the job and finished the issues before the end of this year. Unfortunately, this would have meant that more errors than acceptable would have crept in the final publications.
Snippets and Extra Information, illustrations, photographs, are still appreciated on the following subjects:
Lumpsucker, Cyclopterus lumpus
Aquarium Diorama
Dogwhelks, NucelLapillus
Wrasse, family Labridae of the NE Atlantic
Public Aquaria News

CETACEAN WATCHING
 Clicking
on the Dolphin links to a BMLSS
Cetacean web page on the Internet for links to dolphin watching sites
in the NE Atlantic Ocean and around the British Isles as well links for
lots of whale and dolphin reports.
The Whale watching information was included in previous issues of Torpedo, but the bulletin has now been streamlined to avoid repetition. |

Ancient Origin of the Hox Gene Cluster
David E.K. Ferrier and Peter W.H. HollandThe Hox Gene Cluster has a crucial function in body patterning during animal development. How and when this gebne cluster originated is being clarified by recent data from Cnidaria, a basal animal phylum. The charactization of Hox-like genes from Hydra, sea anemones and jellyfish has revealed that a Hox gene cluster is extremely ancient, having originated even before the divergence of these basal animals.

We
had originally planned to bring this service to our members. However,
as Sue is already producing this series, I have decided to devote my energies
to producing other information.

PHOTOGRAPHS
|
The BMLSS presented the Annual Photographic Exhibition to celebrate WORLD OCEANS DAY on 8 June 2000. A similar exhibition is planned
for the year 2001.

SEASHORE PHOTOGRAPHS
This is a simple project
or request to members and readers of this Bulletin. It is to take pictures
of the coast when you are next down on the shore. Even general views have
value, but ideally we would like photographs of the shore showing the type
of rock, topography and rock pools, dominant fauna, and information that
cannot be described adequately by words on the Report
Cards.
 The name of the particular coast should be included and the grid reference, if known. Print photographs can be included in Exhibitions and on the BMLSS Web Sites and electronic publications. Electronic images in *.JPG format can also be considered for the web site. They should not exceed 100K in size. |
GATEWAY: LINKS TO OTHER SITES
The British Marine Life Study Society Web Site has been included as an Encyclopaedia Britannica Recommended Site and included on the BBC On-line Internet Guide.
There
are more entries on the GATEWAY
pages of the BMLSS Web Site and on the Torpedo
File on the web site (click on this text).

for the default settings on the Page Set-ups of your browser. I recommend
viewing in Internet Explorer 5 and altering the right and left hand columns
in the Page Set-up menu to 9 mm (from 19 mm).
The page set-up can also
be amended in Netscape Composer, and this has the advantage of enabling
the specified number of pages to be printed and the information about the

The 1999 issue of Glaucus with 52 information filled pages has been sent out to members.
Renewals:
Thank you for renewing your subscription as a member for 2000. No further Renewal Forms or Shorewatch Newsletters will be sent out to 1999 members.

The
new Premier Membership for the year 2000 also entitles the member to the
Official BMLSS CD-ROM (available before the endof year 2000), which will
contain the BMLSS
web pages and more information about marine life, together with a selection
of other exclusive marine life information, electronic back copies of BMLSS
publications, and the full version of TORPEDO
Electronic News Bulletin sent to them every month by Email, as well as
the other BMLSS Electronic Information Services. The CD-ROM will also contain
useful shareware and freeware programs, and should be at least as good
value as a computer magazine CD-ROM for the second aspect alone.

Some
of the images may not display if you have changed your directory for downloaded

EMail software do not allow you do this automatically. Unfortunately, I
am unable to cater for all the Email software in use nowadays. I am looking
into this problem.
