First issue of vol 103 of R.I.P.S.

From
Date
        Dear all,
                The first issue of vol. 103 (1997) of the Rivista Italiana
di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia has just been issued .
Let me remember some basic features about the Rivista: It is a centennial
old journal,Published by the Earth Sciences Department of the Università
degli Studi di Milano; now it is published in three issues each year in A4
format, of about 400 pages as a whole. Papers are only written in English
and deal with palaeontology and stratigraphy mostly from Italian and
Mediterranean region, along with certain amount of papers dealing also with
Central Asia and Himalayas.
Here follows the index of last issue (vol 103, n. 1). For any information on
the journal do not hesitate to contact me.
