Editorial<br />

In this issue <strong>of</strong> eggspots we not only continue our report<br />

on a trip to Egypt, but also present for the first time, in<br />

words and pictures, a Haplochromis species caught there<br />

and compare it with other North African species.<br />

Additional articles deal with new information on the<br />

phylogeny <strong>of</strong> cichlids in general, the description <strong>of</strong> a new<br />

Haplochromis species, the discussion <strong>of</strong> a taxonomic problem (which luckily<br />

doesn’t affect us greatly), and the sad demise <strong>of</strong> an excellent cichlid<br />

association. We also devote several pages to a little-known<br />

Pseudocrenilabrus species from Tanzania, and finally we have a response to<br />

the Maylandia article in a previous issue <strong>of</strong> eggspots, in which the<br />

arguments <strong>of</strong> the Metriaclima supporters are explained in detail. The issue<br />

is completed by <strong>Eggspots</strong> <strong>Elsewhere</strong> and a short book review.<br />

This issue also represents an experiment, in that we are allowing rea<strong>der</strong>s to<br />

simply download the journal from the Internet with payment on a voluntary<br />

basis. I would therefore like to take this opportunity to request all rea<strong>der</strong>s<br />

to make a contribution to the not inconsi<strong>der</strong>able costs involved in producing<br />

each issue. You will find details on the final page.<br />

In this regard, I hope you will read this fourth issue with great interest!<br />
