...professional zoologist, I have been profoundly disturbed by the disregard for the facts of the matter shown by so many other reviewers of Rachel Carson's book Silent Spring. I was heartened to read your discussion of this book, an outstanding example of objective journalism at its finest. JOHN C. FRANDSEN Auburn...
Also, Isabel Canet, a marine zoologist formerly director of the Fisheries Research Center in Havana, Cubs; Selma T. Damon, a dentist and the wife of Albert Damon, associate professor of Epidemiology at the School of Public Health; and Mildred G.

Having already etched a redoubtable academic reputation for his monographs on marsupial embryology and anatomy, Australian-born Zoologist Theodore Thomson Flynn, 76, closeted himself at the English Channel resort of Hove to finish off a book designed to "set the record straight" on a more complex mammal: his late son Errol. While insisting that "the Errol the public knew-the hard-drinking, hell-raising womanizer-was a legend created by himself for publicity," the retired Belfast University professor (who recently celebrated his 54th wedding anniversary) conceded that his boy was not "perfect by any means. But neither was he wicked...
After several weeks of stalking the proper sello (rubber stamp) through the corridors of the Buenos Aires customs house, Zoologist Gerald Durrell was feeling (as his brother, the logodaedalist novelist Lawrence Durrell, might have put it) both phthisic and etiolated.

There are a couple of possible answers, says Zoologist Martin Holdgate, who led the Royal Society's recent expedition to southern Chile. In the British magazine New Scientist, Holdgate traces the probable biological routes between the temperate lands on the opposite sides of the South Pole. Water-resistant seeds of a few plants may have ridden the ocean currents that flow around Antarctica from west to east, he points out, and the dust-small spores of ferns may have been carried far by the prevailing westerly winds. But most plants and insects of the far southern lands cannot survive...
