We welcome comment, criticism, and suggestions for improvement of the contents; correspondence may be addressed to the authors at P. O. Box 63, Tygerberg 7505, Republic of South Africa. We the Dr. Dr.
wish to acknowledge help received from our colleagues over years of publication: Dr. T.J.V.Voss, Prof. G.G.Harrison, C. M. Lewis, Dr. W. B. Murray, Prof. A. R. Coetzee, and W. L. van der Merwe.
