Searching for used herbarium cases

[Jim.Solomon at MOBOT.ORG]

Dear colleagues,

Gretchen Walters, one of our staff active in Central Africa, has asked me to
distribute the following message:

We are searching for up to 15 full-sized used metal herbarium cases for the
Herbario Nacional de Guinee Ecuatorial in Central Africa.  Their collection
is almost at capacity, with most of the specimens stored in wooden cabinets.
We have the opportunity to send cabinets in a cargo container leaving from
Washington, D.C. in January 2005.  If you have cabinets available, or know
of anyone who does, please contact Gretchen directly at
gretchen.walters at mobot.org, phone: (314) 577-0285 to discuss terms.
