Apologies to the list. Direct e-mail to Vratislav Richard Bejsak, entomologist, Bondi Junction, AUSTRALIA sent to <76711,[log in to unmask]> has bounced. Twice. Sir: According to the 1994 Mexico & Central American Handbook (Trade & Travel Publications, Bath), the Museo de Entomologia is in the basement of the School of Music building of the University of Costa Rica in San Pedro, a suburb of San Jose. It is open to the public Monday through Friday from 1300 to 1700 hours but we are advised to check times before going there. Their phone number is 25-55-55, ext 318. Since the book is meant for tourism, no mailing address is given. I would render it thus: Museo de Entomologia [accent on the "i"] Universidad de Costa Rica Fracc. San Pedro San Jose de Costa Rica, A. C. [accent on the "e"] Costa Rica, Central America The book also mentions that "all phone numbers in Costa Rica will change from 6-figure to 7-figure numbers on 30 March 1994. Certain numbers will have one digit added, others will change by two or more digits." An international operator should be able to help with the new number. The educated classes in Latin America commonly speak English, although the receptionist might not. "AH-blah een-GLESS?" should be sufficient to let her know you need someone who speaks English; "tray-see-EN-tose dee-ess-ee-OH-choh" is the extension number in the event no English is forthcoming. Hope that helps. Robert Biddle San Marcos, California [log in to unmask]
