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.
