At the last meeting of the Otter Specialist Group at Santa Cruz, California, in August 1985, it was agreed to establish a bulletin to keep people informed of otter news, ongoing or recently completed research etc. The European section of the OSG already had such a bulletin, so it was decided to extend this to cover the interests of OSG members as a whole.

Because of the cost of production and postage, circulation will be restricted. This issue is being sent to OSG members, European Section members and those who earlier intimated that they would like to receive bulletins. If you know of anyone within your country who may be interested, could you photo-copy the bulletin for them? Could non-OSG members inform me if they would like to receive future bulletins?

I hope to produce the bulletin at intervals of approximately a year. The next one. is planned for March 1987, with February 1st as deadline for copy. News items, short articles (in the format of this issue) and information on new publications, reports etc. are all welcome at any time.

Thanks to Dick Klees (Das & Boom, Netherlands) for the cover design.

The production of this bulletin has been paid for from the Otter Fund of the SSC Otter Specialist Group.
