     I'd like to thank all of the people who responded to my request for
     information on frog deformities and organochlorine pollutants.  The
     responses were most informative.  For those of you with a continuing
     interest in this area,  I urge you to contact Joe Titge with the EPA
     lab in Deluth MN who is coordinating research in this area.  A good
     text is the Robert C. Stebbins book:  "A natural history of
     amphibians" 1995, Princeton Univ Press.  Also this will be a hot topic
     at the Society of Environmental Toxicology and Chemistry (SETAC)
     conference in Washinton DC the week of Novemer 17.
