Chuck, I checked my turtle bibliography sources and came up empty for a JD Combs. (Part of my turtle bib is now on my website. I'd welcome any additions) I have found a wonderful science search engine that has helped with turtle and other faunal research. Using this search engine at http://www.scirus.com one search on your article popped up the contact e-mail for JM Dean (co-author on the paper which references Combs) at http://www.baruch.sc.edu/baruch/faculty.html Good luck. -April _________________________ April M.
