Balfour-Browne Club Meeting, 2005: Sigulda, Latvia (June 10-12, 2005)

Дмитрий Тельнов сообщил о предстоящей очередной встрече исследователей водных жуков, организованной "Balfour-Browne Club" и Латвийским энтомологическим обществом. Конференция пройдет 10-12 июня 2005 г. в Сигулде (Латвия). У нас размещен оригинал информационного письма в формате MS Word - bbc_info.doc , но файл непомерно велик (3210 Кбайт) и для тех, кому такой объем малодоступен, мы помещаем ниже не столь красивую, но абсолютно полную HTML-версию.


Встреча благополучно прошла в намеченный срок и все ее события запечатлели Д.Тельнов и М.Калниньш на сотнях фотографий, которые мы разместили на отдельной странице. Посмотреть их будет интересно не только участникам конференции, но и всем, кто любит жуков и интересуется природой Латвии.
