Zoo News Digest 18th July 1998 (Zoo News 07)

Dear Colleague,

There follows the latest ZooNews for the past week. Thank you for your
continued kind comments. I have had a couple of queries as to why they
were included on the mailing list. The answer is just because I thought
you might be interested. I was checking these sites to satisfy my own
curiosity and thought others might like to benefit from the fruits of my
labour.

Zoo News Digest 14 Jul 1998 (Zoo News 6)

Dear Colleague,

Sorry it is a couple of weeks since the last mailing but I have been
snowed under with other projects. The trouble with news is that it becomes
stale so fast...but at least with the sites below you can just choose to
go to what interests you. Once again many thanks for your kind comments
and clips to include. Please remember to include the site address with any
news.
