In the last issue there was an article discussing the use of perforated beads in Morocco.

David Long (Mollusc World 14, p. 21, July 2007) asks if anyone else has noticed a decrease in snails sieved from leaf litter this year.

To enliven indoor meetings Council has decided to change their format so as to give more time for informal interaction and for discussion and comment on the exhibits.

I am very grateful again to Mary Seddon who has put together most of this issue of Mollusc World.
