Hi Texas Cavers,
A lot of you were or are subscribed to the SWR Mailing list and recently
that entire list was lost. I am attempting to rebuild it and am at about 80% of
what it was.
If you think you are not getting emails from the swr mailing list please
send me your name and email address and I will add it manually to the list.
Thanks,
Bill

* Hey Cavers!

* Longhorn Cavern Sporting New Lighting System — Official Dedication to
be Held July 19
*
* BURNET — Add one more reason to visit or revisit Longhorn Cavern
State Park this summer other than its constant 68-degree environment. Workers
have rewired the National Registered Landmark and replaced decades-old
incandescent lights with hundreds of energy-saving, 12-volt halogen lights to
better illuminate the cavern’s most outstanding natural features.

Will somebody please remind me who the new editor of the TC is?
(Private responses best.) I didn't make a note of it before, assuming
I could find it on the TSA's "contacts" web page--not. I need to
update the general info sheet I have as a handout for new people at UT
Grotto meetings.-- Mixon

"Cave Life of the Virginias: A Field Guide to Commonly Encountered
Species." Daniel W. Fong, Megan L. Porter, and Michael E. Slay.
Biology Section of the National Speleological Society; 2012. 5 by 8.5
inches, 42 pages, spiral bound. $16 plus shipping from NSS Bookstore
or Speleobooks.
This is the first of a proposed Cave Life Series on cave regions in
the United States. Between a brief introduction and a nice
bibliography, the book consists of one or two pages on each major type
of cave critter one is likely to see in Virginia or West Virginia. For
obligate cave species (troglobionts and stygobionts), there are
distribution maps of the various species. There is a color photograph
of a representative of each type, such as isopod or amphipod. The book
is nicely printed on paper thickly laminated to be waterproof and
maybe bulletproof. With the plastic spiral binding, it could serve as
a field guide, but I'm not sure what use it would be in the field,
unless you can't tell an pseudoscorpion from a cave cricket. Unlike a
bird guide, it doesn't illustrate all the species it discusses, so it
won't help distinguish, for example, among the seven species of
asellid isopods in the genus Caecidotea. But then it might take a
dissecting microscope to tell them apart anyway.
Although a less expensive format would have served as well, it is a
good introduction to the cave life of a major cave area.--Bill Mixon

Could you send me your new address?
Your old one on Mockingbird doesn't seem to be valid anymore. Your TC
bounced back to me.
Thanks,
Mark
