RainesAssistant EditorJohn FishTreasurerPhilip WinsboroughNEWSNOTES• If you were a 1965 member of the AMCS or made a special order youshould now have in your posession AMCS BULLETIN NO.1, ltCaves ofthe Inte!'-American Highway". After reading over the pages ofdescriptions, maps, and photos you may be inclined to believe thatthe BULLETIN is a complete guide to the caves along Mexico 85, butthis is not at all true. In fact, even as your BULLETIN wastraveling through the mails new caves were being explored. Ourknowledge of the caving regions is continually enlarging. Alsochanging are the important landmarks such as kilometer posts,which are moved northward as a new highway takes a shortcut. Tokeep informed on all these new discoveries and changes we needyour help. Take your BULLETIN to Mexico and note the new cavesyou explore. It is important that you make an accurate descriptionand location of each cave so that correct records may bemaintained. At the same time you can check on the kilometerposts and record any other info~mation that should be included inthe BULLETIN. If the demand warrants it, a second and revisededition will be published.
