Mann" subject: Re: paper in this Friday's Science to: Tim Osborn Tim/Keith, I've worked up an article for RC to go online when the embargo is lifted. Will send later when finalized. One issue came up in an interview w/ a writer at Science, and I didn't know the answer. Is the shorter reference period you mention in caption of fig 3 really 1865, or is that a typo (i.e., supposed to be 1856). I couldn't think of a reason for why the latter date would be used, and guessed that "65" just got transposed accidentally? Please let me know if you can what the answer is. Its a minor point, but nice to get things right if possible... mike Tim Osborn wrote: > Hi Mike, > > I am wary of Science's embargo, but I've included the *uncorrected* > galleys for you to look at.
