[HELICONIUS] Fwd: Conference date

[Jim Mallet]

Dear All,

The Rome butterfly conference has now been postponed till July 
2007.  Below, I forward the information from Valerio Sbordoni.

Shall I organise a symposium for that later date instead?  (Reply to me 
personally about this).

Sincerely Jim
