Our next meeting will be on 5 July (a holiday, 
unfortunately, for many) where Dr. Michel 
Hendrickx, director of the Mazatlan Marine 
Station, will discuss with us his recent research 
on crustaceans, and other matters. He, and his 
family, are “just passing through” on their way 
to Belgium, the Hendrickx ancestral home, and 
found time to talk to SCAMIT en route. This 
would be a particularly good time to deal with 
any questions on decapods and stomatopods 
which have arisen during B’98 sampling. We 
hope that you can attend the meeting, and 
enjoy our guest speaker, despite the holiday. 
The meeting will be held at the Molecular 
Biology Lab (adjacent to the Worm Lab) of the 
Natural History Museum. The museum staff 
will also be on vacation that day, but access 
will still be possible through the staff entrance
