 is now without an observer." 



I may add to the above that Avhen. at the beginning 

 19U7 I sent the first of the new series of records from Sark

" I am looking forward with much interest to the new records. 

 It will be a great thing to have each of the islands represented in 

 our pages, and I much appreciate your work in establishing the 

 stations."
