Bill
Chadwick reported a rare deep water shark
with the name in the book as the Frilled
Shark, Chlamydoselachus anguineus. It was landed in Killybegs,
County Donegal, Ireland, by Michael Flannery,
on board the Emerald Dawn (out of Kerry I think). This specimen (one out
of 3) was sent to the Museum of Natural History in Dublin for examination.
These animals were caught as part of an on going deep sea survey in search
for commercially viable deep water species run by BIM (Board Iasca Mhara).
All the information was confirmed by John
Hackett of BIM.

to producing other information.
PHOTOGRAPHS
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. |

These pages are not designed
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
file (name, path, date) to be deleted.

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.

The
work of the BMLSS is funded by entirely by member's subscriptions and we
do not receive any grants.
Some
of the images may not display if you have changed your directory for downloaded
files. The images may also not display properly if your settings on your
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.
