CORRIGENDA ET APOLOGIA

correxions and apologies

APOLOGY SECTION: On the first page of the JOG, it will be noted that an article by David Adams was promised in this issue.  Space considerations have obviated that possibility, so it will be in the next issue JOG 4/4, to be published late Summer 1980 (Ayatollah/Jimikarta permitting). 
Also in that issue will be the long-delayed material on Zimbabwe and African geomantic planning – notes on the 3d Cambridge Geomancy Symposium and all the usual goodies from the wonderful world of the desacralized cosmos. 
...........................................................................
CORRIGENDUM/ADDENDUM: The 3d CamGeomSymp will now be having an additional speaker: Jeff Saward, turf maze researcher, will be speaking with slides of many extant and lost turf mazes in England.  A review of his excellent booklet Caer Sidi appears on page 18 of this issue.
