Corrections:

In Report on 6th CITES Meeting, Ottawa, July 1987 [Mrosovsky, MTN 41:3], please note that the second sentence of the fourth paragraph should read as follows: "Because of complex understandings within the European Economic Community (EEC), no members of the EEC may cast a vote individually; consequently, France was unable to vote for its own proposal!"

In Marine Turtles in Baluchistan (Pakistan) [Groombridge et al., MTN 42:1-3], please note that the third sentence of the fourth paragraph should read as follows: "Some nest pits appeared to be many weeks old, many tracks appeared to be more recent, and a minority were fresh." The editors regret these errors.

World Premier:

On 1 January 1989 (9:00 PM EST), the National Geographic Explorer Station will broadcast an Omni Film Production entitled, Farewell Ancient Mariner (Executive Producer: Bruce Jaildagian, Greenpeace International). The 26 minute presentation explores the plight of the sea turtle and brings to light some of the programs that are improving the odds for their survival. A color video is available upon request to: Bruce Jaildagian, Greenpeace International, P.O. Box 384, New Smyrna Beach, Florida 32070 USA.
