Thanks Okiemockbird,

No mockin' here. Hey, I didn't realise Dover were into PD music (or did I?) - haven't bought a Dover book since the 70s. They were all biologically oriented (or were they?). Goes to Folkin' section of bookshelf, and can't find a folkin' Dover one.

Anyway, jeffp, you are right-on about Cirker having the "Mudcat Spirit" - dammit, I can't recall the title, but it was about 2" fat - a wonderfully eclectic collection of DIY hints and tips about collecting mairne organisms, maintaining aquaria etc - must date back to the 50s. One of our marine farms still use my copy, I think.

Anyway, it was a wonderful wealth of information, sometimes hard to find - Just like Mudcat.....

HELP, just what is a Mudcat? This talk of marine zoology has me off on another thread.....;)

Cheers - Sam
