fingerprint comparison: a new paradigm" by Cedric Neumann, Ian Evett and
James Skerett will be read at an Ordinary Meeting at the RSS. It will be
presented to the Society on Wednesday, September 28th, 2011, at 5 p.m.

We welcome contributions to the discussion following the presentation of
the paper. If you would like to contribute, you would be limited to 5

After the meeting, contributions may be submitted for publication by
sending a paper copy or PDF file direct to me at the Society's address
