The deadline for the next issue of the AMCS Activities Newsletter is
May 1, 2015. Articles are sought on all significant explorations or
other cave-related activities in Mexico. Articles about Central
America may also be considered. There is no limit to the size of
articles, but try to keep them below ten thousand words :). Articles
should be accompanied by all available cave maps, and photos will be
printed in color. Shorter news items, which may include maps or
photos, for the "Mexico News" section are also needed, as are
excellent cover photos, which need not pertain to articles in the
issue. Complete older issues and tables of contents for the most
recent issues can be found at http://www.mexicancaves.org/nl/cat.html.
Material should be sent to editor@mexicancaves.org. People who expect
to spend much of the spring caving might try to get material on past
expeditions to the editor before their trips.

The Uni?n Mexicana de Agrupaciones Espeleol?gicas (UMAE) and Ruta
N?huatl Expediciones announce the XII Mexican National Congress of
Speleology, which will be held in Zongolica, Veracruz, from January 30
to February 2, 2015. The English-language version of the announcement
and call for papers is attached to this message. Deadlines in the
announcement have passed; hopefully they are flexible. We have just
received the information today.

The Association for Mexican Cave Studies has been given the Mexican
Cave Survey data that Gerald Moni accumulated from about 1990?2005.
His database file, along with a few auxiliary files, has been put at http://www.mexicancaves.org/library/MCS.html
. The coordinate locations have been removed from the web version, but
locations and data in the several thousand pages of paper files are
available from the AMCS for particular caves as needed. Contact amcs@mexicancaves.org
.

The Texas Caver magazine has over the years contained much material
about caving in Mexico, including items from ten years before the
earliest AMCS publications. A catalog of selected Mexico items in the
newsletter has been put on the AMCS web site at http://www.mexicancaves.org/library/TCbiblio.html
