Dear Mr. Plant,

Thank you for your letter and kind words about GEO. With regards your query on archaeological diggings in Anuradhapura, a call to the Sri Lankan Consul at Wynnard House in Sydney assures me that he may have information available if you are willing to pay his place a visit. Otherwise I suggest you write to him or telephone him on 29 5313, or you could also call the High Commissioner in Canberra (062) 953521.

Unfortunately my own research for a small article on the ancient cities did not extend that deeply, and I do not recall coming across any material on chicken remains. Thank you for the book. There may be a story for GEO on it, someday, specially the Australian chook!

Yours truly,

Alfredo Roces
