Report to Subscribers
Tuatara has over 700 subscribers, including 176 libraries. These, coupled with casual sales, now require a regular edition of of 1100 copies. The journal is distributed to Great Britain, United States of America, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, Australia, Sweden, Belgium, Sudan, Fiji and Malta.
The increased size of the current issue (the largest yet) reflects the present financial situation resulting from the increased demand. No subsidy has been needed since the close of volume eight, the journal being now able to support itself from revenue. Provided certain technical problems are overcome, it is anticipated that one colour plate will be included in each annual volume. No change in the subscription rate is likely in the immediate future.
The Publishing Committee extends very warm thanks to all whose work makes this possible — students and staff on the editorial and publishing subcommittees, contributors, advertisers, printers and subscribers.
