Journal on CD

[Jean-Michel MAES]

Dear friends,
 
I think it could be some kind of priority for big taxonomical projects at
world level, to promote that each museum made a CD ROM with pictures of the
Holotypes in the museum. I know that for some groups it is not very usefull
but for butterflies and perhaps moths it could be very usefull.
 
Sincerely,
 
Jean-Michel MAES
