I think there will be opportunity for inclusion of more material such as you mention at the next stage of revision, and will be in contact wityh you about that sometime during the next couple months. In Figure 9, we do show the the low-frequency trend (provided by Phil) of your *newest?) average density series, but there could be more discussion of the decline issue, etc. as you mention, and the possibility of including at leas one more figure, and certainly discussion of some others (although my section, undoubtedly, is way too long as it its, and their will yet be substantial shortening). So I'll be in touch soon. Thanks again for getting back to me. I hope things improve for you soon! talk to you soon, mike _______________________________________________________________________ Michael E.
