From #245, we cite 3 articles

CMO No 245 contains:

1.    The 9th issue of the CMO 2001 Mars Report describes

CMO Mars Observations in the Second Half of May 2001

(from 16 May to 31 May 2001) depending on the observations made by the following observers AKUTSU, BIVER (France), CAVE (USA), FAUSARELLA (Brasil), GRAFTON (USA), HIGA, ISHADOH, KUMAMORI, MINAMI, MORITA, MURAKAMI, T NAKAJIMA, NARITA, NIKOLAI (Deutschland), Don PARKER (USA), PEACH (UK), TEICHERT (France), and TSUNEMACHI.

2. Letters to the Editor records a number of emails or letters received: Especially, Don PARKER reports the results obtained by the expedition to the Florida Keys to detect the Edom brightening at the beginning of June based on the DOBBINS-SHEEHAN prediction. Tom DOBBINS also expresses his appreciation to the observation by Tsuneo SAHEKI of the Edom flare on 1 July 1954. The column also includes an interesting passage that did not survive the final edition of The Martian-Flares Mystery by DOBBINS and SHEEHAN in the May issue of S&T.

3. A new series of Essays started from #242 written by TSUNEMACHI (in Japanese) under the title A Visit to the Antares Institute.

4.    Ten Years Ago, no issue was published on 10 June 1991, and so (69) here reviews CMO #105 published on 25 May 1991 (in Japanese). At that time the angular diameter was under 5 arcsecs, while the season was around Ls=060°Ls. A detailed profile of Tohru IWASAKI was introduced. Recorded were also 70 sets of TP photos from Don PARKER (4 August1990 through 12 January 1991).
