HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DECEMBER MEETING 
Our invited speaker, Ramon Mendez of the American Museum's Art Depart- 
ment, showed slides he had recently made in Trinidad. They included 
no mollusks, but it was felt that all of us would be delighted with 
the excellence and beauty of his results - and particularly so with 
his tight close-ups of such small and difficult subjects as insects, 
birds, snakes, frogs and bats, taken in natural situations. These, 
together with equally fine treatments of scenery, vegetation and 
flowers, made up a presentation that was received with every bit of 
the appreciation that had been hoped for. 
Between presentations, President Veronica Johns reported that the 
banging from the anteroom that had accompanied the butterflies and 
orchids was one of our members trying to remedy an unprecedented dif- 
ficulty. We had been locked into our meeting room - fortunately, 
briefly. The trouble lay with the new sales counter for the recently 
modernized Hall of Reptiles. The attendants have a key because they 
store merchandise in lockers in the anteroom. There was no on-the- 
spot solution of the coordination problem, but it doesn't seem un- 
reasonable to expect that one will be found.

Pomona, California), American Malacological Union (Na les, Florida) 
and Conchologists of America (Fort Lauderdale, Florida).
