Hi all and Harry and Geoff
In my reference database of papers I have copies of, I have entered
for Orbitestella bastowi the following
Gatliff, 1906 Proc. Royal Soc. Vict. 19(1): 1-4, plates 1-2.
I have a copy of this paper, which as soon as I fill out the customs
info will be sent in a container with the rest of my library (my
parents had to repack this due to weight restrictions per box into 92
boxes from 50 boxes) from Australia arriving here in a couple of
months. So if all concerned are willing to wait awhile then you can
get a scan when I finally find which box my Gatliff file was put in.
