On the Web: <http://www.palass.org/> ISSN: 0954-9900 Newsletter 74 2 Editorial As I type this short piece the northern hemisphere Summer Solstice has passed, the days are barely but perceptibly drawing in, and thoughts inevitably turn towards the cold, dark days of mid-Winter and that singular beacon of light and festivity that is the Association Annual Meeting. This year, as I’m sure you are aware, the meeting is to be held in Ghent. The latest meeting information is, as usual, included in the pages of this Newsletter and is available 24/7 on the Association website. Mention of the website brings me to a couple of items. Firstly, some of you may have spotted that there is a ‘Palaeontology in the News’ section on the homepage of the Association that provides a number of links to palaeo-related news items on the webpages of the BBC, Guardian, National Geographic and such like. We hope that this new service is of use and interest, and any comments would be welcome.
