Dear Alexander,

I have no specific knowledge on drifting bottles, but a group of amateurs and scientists exists to study items that drift on oceanic currents, particularly floating seeds. Cathie Katz publishes their newsletter, The Drifting Seed; she can be reached at Atlantic Press, P.O. Box 510366, Melbourne Beach, FL 32951, USA, email <seabean@castlegate.net>. The Second Annual Sea-Bean Symposium will convene in Melbourne Beach, Florida, from Ocetober 16 to 19, 1997. CAthie Katz is one of the conveners; the other is Dr. Charles R. Gunn, 120 White Squirrel Lane, Brevard, NC 28712, USA, email <Mucuna@juno.com>.

today one of our senior paleontologists came to me with a question.
He asked me if I know any collections of bottles that were thrown into 
the sea and found thereafter preferably with their messages still
attached. I could only remark that for my belief most of those message-
in-the-bottles should be in private hands, but I am not sure.
So, I pose this question to the PaleoNet community.

By the way this is not meant to be a joke. This collegue is actually 
working on biogenic abrasion of siliceous substrates.

Any hint where those bottles could be found would be very much
appreciated. Reply online or offline.
