RE: [Gecko] New Goniurosaurus!

[Jan Grathwohl]

Hi Robert   You can subscribe to Journal of Herpetology, Herpetological Review and Catalogue of American Amphibians and Reptiles directly through the SSAR homepage (http://www.ukans.edu/~ssar/). The journals are mostly technical as you yourself pointed out, but never the less quite interesting for hobbiest as well   regards   Jan Grathwohl www.herpbreeder.dk   -----Original Message----- From: Robert Gundy [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 8. juli 2002 22:01 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Gecko] New Goniurosaurus!   And how does one subscribe to this Journal of Herpetology? I'd be very interested in getting it. I take it that this journal discusses mostly animals in the wild, taxonomy and all the technicalities and not captive husbandry, right? --- Jan Grathwohl <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Hi > > Thanx for the fast reply... look forward to > receiving my issue (there's > a long way from the US to Denmark with snail-mail ;) > > regards > > Jan Grathwohl > www.herpbreeder.dk > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 8. juli 2002 17:30 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [Gecko] New Goniurosaurus! > > The new Goniurosaurus was published in the most > recent Journal of > Herpetology. > > Grismer, L.
