Coordinator notes: Thanks Mary: I'll be down in that area at Malibu State Park Saturday, April 28th for their Field Ecology Event. I get to talk for two hours (12-2 PM) on the Butterflies of the Santa Monica Mountains. I don't know if that is just for their staff or for the public too. Also. know that I used some of your records in a new publication covering southern California updated information. The records I used document little known localities or places not known from such places in 1973.-Ken Davenport
