BTW., tohle mi dneska prislo mailem (jako dalsim arachnologum(:

Dear ISA members,



As some of you may already know, I am sorry to have to report that the
Instituto Butantan in Sao Paulo suffered a devastating fire over the
weekend. Fortunately no one was injured, but it seems as though the
entire arachnological and herpetological collections have been lost;
probably also affecting material held on loan.

On behalf of the ISA executive, and the wider community, I would like to
express our deepest sympathies with our colleagues in Brazil at this
difficult time.

I know that some of you have already been asking if, and how, we can
help. I hope that the wider arachnological community will be able to
engage in some sort of coordinated response to this disaster, according
to the needs and wishes of our colleagues at Butantan.

Further information will of course be circulated over the mailing list
as and when it becomes available.

Takže je to celé horší než to vypadá....
