<p class="MsoNormal">hi everyone<u></u><u></u></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">With Martin Hauser's help, I have extracted all the syrphid papers from the volumes of Hana Abu, the journal of the Japanese Dipterists Club. You can download the zipfile from:<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/~plzfg/misc/Hana_Abu_syrphid_papers.zip" target="_blank">www.nottingham.ac.uk/~plzfg/misc/Hana_Abu_syrphid_papers.zip</a><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">It is about 560 MB !<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Nearly all of them are OCR'd and so should cut & paste directly into Google Translate. Mostly they use the Japanese common names for the species, which are hilarious in translation, so beware: Google Translate is nowhere near as good as
for French, German or Russian, for instance. They use a lot of pictures, and there are some really beautiful species, including several unknown ones.<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Most the information is taxonomic or faunistic, and so should be reasonably easy to make out. There are some really great papers there. The only one I have not extracted is the multipart Japanese translation of Mutin & Barkalov's key to
Far Eastern species, which we already have in Russian - much easier to translate using Google!<u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Very best wishes<u></u><u></u></p>
