topical collecting listings
A local friend has shown interest in putting together a topical collection,
butterflies, and asked me where he could get a world-wide listing of issues up to, say, the year 2000. I tried googling but came up with no more than "for sale" adverts. I suppose one could very well go through the 6 volumes of Scott page by page and make up one's own list (on any topic), but I'm pretty sure that has already been done sometime, somewhere. A push in the right direction would be appreciated. TIA. -- Tony Vella in Ottawa, Canada |

TIA. -- Tony Vella in Ottawa, Canada Tony A quick look at Vera Trinder's website (www.vtrinder.co.uk) shows for sale a thematic catalogue on butterflies published by Domfil. Apparently in English and Spanish you should be able to find a source for this in Canada. You will find plenty of references to Domfil under Google. Regards, Roger |

TIA. -- Tony Vella in Ottawa, Canada A quick check of the American topical Association website - www.americantopicalassn.org - shows a checklist of 88 pages for Butterflies - revised in July 2004. I believe that this is probably the most comprehensive listing available. |

The American Topical Association publishes checklist for various topics and its website http://www.americantopicalassn.org/ lists one for Butterflies that was updated in July 2004. But these seem to be available only to members. Annual dues for someone using a non-US address is US$30. Then there is a charge for reproduction and mailing of the checklist. = Eric -- = Eric Bustad, Norwegian bachelor programmer |

My friend does not have internet, or a computer for that matter, and when he expressed interest in setting up a butterfly-stamps collection I thought I would get him a w-w list of issues for Christmas. I will look around some more for a quick download and if all else fails I will get him a Domfils catalogue by snail mail. Once again, thanks a lot. -- Tony Vella in Ottawa, Canada |

Would butterfly stamps be welcome? If so, could we send them via yourself? Blair (also in Ottawa) ================================================== ============== |
