Thank you for your msg., and that of a fortnight ago. The prints
came in, and I’ve enjoyed my first perusal -- I’m taking notes for
a more considered reply.

I will be writing up my talk at MBL, but all I have now are rough
notes. I went over the concept of genetic maps (of all kinds)

in a historical framework, but more on why we make them and what we
think they mean. I’11 copy you when I do have a text.

About developmental biology, it would be great if S. K. really

has made the contribution you describe. Do you want to try another
mathematician? : Mitchell Feigenbaum on nonlinear systems, works
here at RU -- is interested in biology, but makes no claims.

The dev-biol you want is Gerald Edelman. His work on "CAMs" in
embryology is as important as he makes out.
