Just got this today in my email - I joined the Mammal Society many years ago - after I left the UK and became interested in ferrets and polecats. Its a small organization, but the UK is a small country - compared to the US. They also have improved their website in the last few years. http://www.mammal.org.uk/ One of the pictures when you go to their website is a mustelid - but I think its a European mink - all dark face. But head looks a bit narrow. Anyone know? Mustelid Colloquium The Mammal Society are pleased to be hosting the 29th European Mustelid Colloquium on 3rd & 4th December 2011 at the Jurys Inn Hotel in Southampton. We will shortly be issuing the first call for papers and launching a dedicated web page. http://www.mammal.org.uk/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.browse&category_id=22&Itemid=219 In the meantime, you can register online. Prices start at [#UK] 45 for both days. BTW forty five pounds translates to about seventy five dollars. Meryl [Posted in FML 7075]
