Notice: Speleological Abstracts / Bulletin Bibliographique Spéléologique (BBS)

BCRA used to supply Speleo Abstracts to its members free of charge but this is no longer the case. Although you can purchase back issues from BCRA, all other sales enquiries should go to the publisher Union Internationale de Spéléologie (UIS) at ssslib.ch/bbs/. The latest issue to be published (as of July 17, 2008) is number 44 for 2005.
